A Degree In Insanity???

Ha Ha Ha. A friend of mine was talking to me on the phone, with all the kids in the background, while I was making a meatloaf and washing dishes and doing laundry. Hubby was in class and I always have this much chaos in my life when I am trying to hold a phone conversation... Makes me appreciate texting and facebook so much more. However, it was so nice to actually talk to her as it had been months.
I explained to her that I was taking Chemistry and she asked me jokingly, as she could hear everything I had going on in addition to that, if I was "getting a degree in insanity?" I have been laughing about it ever since.
Surprisingly, Chemistry is making more sense to me than I remember it from high school. I have taken 2 tests, one in lecture and one in lab and I got an 84 on the lecture test and an 88 on the lab one. I have a 100% average in lab. But I have really been studying. I am worn out between all the mandatory overtime (still) at work and class Tues & Thurs night from 7:30-10:20... Whew! But I am proud of myself for moving forward.
I am anxious to see what is said about my essay for the military spouse scholarship. I really need to figure out what I want to do after this class is over. I have to figure out what school I want to go to that has an online program for my bachelor's degree. I just haven't had the time to do the research.
Hubby is working hard as well. He has had essays galore to write! Glad that's not me.
Let's backtrack a bit. On the weekend before Valentine's day, I had to work that Saturday. A six day work week... I took the kids to Chuck E Cheese's that Friday night as an early Valentine's gift. Bubba woke up Saturday AM with a stomach virus that he graciously passed on to all the other kids one by one throughout that week. Everyone in the house got it but me. Go figure. Everyone is better now but it was quite literally a shitty Valentine's.
I got a guitar for my gift. I get flowers all the time so it was a nice unexpected surprise. Its a black acoustic Gibson guitar. I already had 2 parlor sized guitars put away for Princess and Elliebear's birthdays. We were going to let them take lessons at our local rec center this spring. That same friend I was talking to on the phone told me about some really good websites and YouTube videos that will help as well. Also, the guitars all come with free online lessons and an instructional video. I am hoping with all those options, we will all be fine.
Hubby and I went to the movies this past weekend to see Unknown. It was decent. I just enjoy being out with him.
Elliebear and Princess both entered their projects into the science fair at school. Princess won 5th place for her age level. I am so proud of her because she really wanted to do it though it was optional. CiCi has TAKS test tutorials from 4-5 PM Monday (reading), Tuesday (science) and Wednesday (math). What a busy schedule for her. I am glad her school is offering it though. It is optional as well but I want her to have all the help she can get. I keep telling her high school is going to be something else!
I have been making animals out of tissue boxes and construction paper for the kids. I love arts and crafts! The blanket I am making for my coworker in Dallas Cowboys blue, white and silver colors is coming along nicely too. I just wish I had more free time for it.
We have a room reserved for the night of the Seabee Ball. It will be here before you know it. And my Princess will be 6 years old that same weekend! I am on vacation for Spring Break! No work. Just me and my family! We are still trying to figure out where we want to go and what we want to do.
I hope I can keep this up. So far so good. Things are going my way. Just gotta keep praying and staying strong.
