Great Day 1/Math Test

Good Morning World!!!!!!
Life is amazing and God is good !!!!
Started today off with a Math test at 8am this morning. First problem had me confused and after five minutes I skipped it and went on to the other 19 problems. Finished the other problems and came back to Problem number 1 and figured it out YEAH ME !!!!!!!
I think I did good on the test will find out when I get out of work (it will be posted on coursecompass)
Got home early cause I skipped my second class (got out of Math 45 minutes early and did not want to stick around) OK OK honestly DH is at WIA program getting his vouchers for CDL training school and I have the house to MYSELF that is the real real reason I came home early. Cause in all honesty I could have stayed at school and studied while waiting on my next class to start LOL
So I got home and had
Breakfast:
1 1/2 cup banana cherrios
1/2 cup 2% milk

Now I am off to pick up my MIL from the doctors (DH dropped her off on his way to WIA) then it is home to make a good lunch and have dinner done for the guys in my life :)
OY I love this being home ALONE time (has been 4 months since I have had it)
Have a great day
Keep On Keepin On

Comin and Goin

Comin and Goin
Have you ever been there?? Have you ever felt like you are meeting yourself comin and goin?? Oy Oy Oy I have surely felt like that alot lately. God is working overtime in our (mine and DH) lives right now. He is working great things and we are finally letting him :)
I have been wondering if I should keep bloggin or not..... I do believe I have something to offer someone out there and more then that I have something to offer myself ..... I seem to do better health wise when I blog so bloggin world I AM back :)
I started back to school two weeks ago..... taking 2 classes at college and one online....ALOT of studying and finding time to study :) or trying to any ways :) My little guy started kindergarden this year.... I am helping in his class 2 hours on Tuesdays ...... and LOVE it :)
DH has not started CDL truck drivin school as of yet. We are still waiting on WIA (government agency) to sign the check (voucher) so he can go..... they are paying for it as he was laid off and is able to get this due to needing to be retrained :) We talked to his WIA counselor this past Thursday and she said it is taking a bit longer because of him having had knee surgery and they needed the paper from the surgeon saying he can get back to work and has NO limits ..... they are shooting for the 21st to have him in class and on his way :) I am way hoping and praying this IS the date he starts....... He has been so bored around the house waiting and waiting .......
I have managed to get back on track eating wise but am LOST big time on exercise...... I am managing 5 minutes a day ...... guess that is better then nothing right??
Have a great night and Keep On Keepin On

Day ONE

Hey there Blogworld :)
Hope this finds all doing fabulous with the sun in your face and the wind to your back
We returned from vacation last Thursday :) Was so happy to get home. Had a great visit with everyone :) We drove a total of 3141 miles spending 1105 dollar total (2 motel rooms, 200 cash, and 445 dollars in gas as well as some other money for food and such) for 5 people on 11 days of vacation. I think we did GREAT money wise :) The driving was crazy but in order to stop and see everyone we wanted to see we needed to drive. Next time we go to Michigan we will fly :)
We spent the first night in St Louis seen the arch the Mississippi River :) Second night we were at my girlfriends house in Michigan ...... had a great time catchin up on time :) Third day we were in Dearborn at the Ford Museum..... 3 hours of walking and walking (it is BIG) and alot to see. Third night we were in a campsite not far from my daddys in Coldwater Mi. My sister and her family were RV camping and we all spelt in a teepee that night. That was awesome and nice weather no need for a fan or a/c (like here in Texas LOL) My little guy as well as DH nephews (ages 11, 12) that we took with us got to roast marshmallows for the first time :) That was cool :)
Fourth day my sister and I drove to Indy just the two of us. We had time to talk and catch up. Everyone else rode in the RV with my BIL :) Nights Four, Five and Six we stayed at my brothers in Indy. Day Six we had my grannys 80th Bday party....... lots of people showed up and it was great :) All homemade and from the dollar store but it was so awesome........
Day Seven we headed to Kentucky to spend nights Seven, Eight and Nine with DH dad :) That was good. Day ten we headed for home spending the night in Arkansas....... in a hotel and swam in the pool and just relaxed. We left on Day eleven to finish our way back to Central Texas. The trip was great and as I said we seen alot of people and said Stop, Dont, Quit more then a million times with three boys in the back seat for all that driving :) My neices have grown so much ( I had not seen my sisters girls for 5 years) We are all getting together again in May in Arkansas for my brothers 2nd daughters high school graduation :) I almost cant wait until then :)

Ok now for reality.... I gained weight on vacation..... not gonna say how much. I am striving to get it back off plus 3 more lbs by the 27th the next doctor visit :) So I will report the gain/loss then :) One good thing this time we went on vacation though is when we got home I came "OFF" vacation food wise :)
