Its getting that time!!!

Well its almost here. Its almost xmas. I must say this is not my favorite time of year. I for one do not like the cold weather. But i do like all the good food. Thats one of the perks of the Holiday season. We took our yearly trip to Tongaknoxie Kansas this past weekend. Ohh, what fun that was. Okay well not really. We stayed with Johns cousin and He and his wife have a little boy who is 5 and a little girl who will be 2 in january. So of course Tanner beat up Easton all weekend and Loagin picked on Reese all weekend. That made for some good crying, Other than that everything went really well. The kids didnt fight at all on the 4 hour drive up there nor did they on the way home. Maybe that was because we took a dvd player in the car with us so they could watch movies all the way there. :) it worked.! Now we just have to get ready for the nonstop xmas action that begins in two weeks. I think from there on out we have something somewhere. I believe this year i counted that we have about 7 or 8 christmas gatherings to attend. So our santa may not be bringing quite as much as our kids would like for him to but we discussed with the kids that santa also got us a new car this year so he wasnt going to be bringing as much. They are okay with that. I think they know they will get plenty of other toys and stuff from there grandparents. Also. john and i know that so we are not as worried about it either. My concern now is Loagins birthday 3 days before xmas, we have to have his party a few weeks in advance to make time for all the other plans that we have which kinda sucks for him. But we must have a party!! well i guess i had better get back to filling out my info for school, i am ready to go back but then again i am not. well see how it works. Hope all of you out there have a great Holiday Season and write more later.

TEST TEST OH MY!!!!

Well lets see it has been what 8 years since i have been to school. I mean yeah i can do the basics read, write, math, english. etc. etc.. But when it comes to College Algebra I am soooo lost. I have been working on studying to take my Compass test at the end of this week and it seems that i will have to start in the basic courses of EVERYTHING. I had forgetten everything i ever knew about fractions. I know now tho. They let us download a program on our home computers called PLATO. Its basically a practice run of the compass test and i am getting better but man oh man did i forget alot of stuff. I mean i can do computers with my eyes closed because i have been working with them and on them since i got out of like the 7th grade but i didnt really have to use math to much when i was working, i mean the computer did all that for me. Anyway on a happier note. My kids went trick or treating door to door this year for the VERY FIRST time. We have never done that and they had a blast and they got enough candy to last until next halloween. i am sure i will have to throw most of it away cuz it wont get eaten. My son Loagin has started this tapping thing. He taps on your arm, leg. head whatever part of your body he can reach until you say WHAT@!!!!. and then he just points at something and laughs. it has become really annoying in the past couple weeks. He doesnt seem to be much of a talker. He can he just knows that it bothers us more if he taps. He and easton cant seem to control their anger towards each other anymore and they fight ALL the time now. I am not really sure what to do about that. Well i guess thats all for now, i better start studying again. Later
