Starting school soon

I can't believe I start school in 2 weeks! It's crazy. I changed things a bit since I last posted. I had registered for a math class that was monday thru friday in the middle of the day. Well I was able to drop in and then register again but this time online. So I can do the class anytime during the day. Now I can still work full time. Since the other class is still in the evening.
I thought I had my financial aid taken care of. I got a letter the other week saying that I needed to turn some papers in, which I had done earlier that same day (ugh) and that I was only registered for 3 credits, which would equal one class. I have 6 credits which is 2 classes. I need to get it figured out or it will massively affect my financial aid. And I'm so worried about cutting it close. I'd do it this week, but the college is closed for christmas break. So I have to do it the week after, which is the week before school starts. Ugh!
But I called my great uncle (also my godfather) and told him I was going to school. He's really happy. He's been saving money for when I go to school. He's said he'd help pay for my books and materials. He also told me to look into other types of aids and assitances. Since I'm technically a single mom, he said I should be able to get all kinds of help. So I'm going to have alot to do the week before school.

Other things, christmas was really nice. I was really worried about not being able to get my boys anything. But they ended up getting enough things that they wouldn't notice. Lol.

I don't know what to do about my relationship anymore. I really do love Elliot. But he is not making smart decisions. At all. And I think he's become comfortable not working. And he thinks he can ask me for money whenever. I'm getting so tired of it. I really need to figure out what to do.

Well, thats about it for now. If I think of anything else, I'll post.

Everyone have a happy new years.

School!!!

I finally got my acceptance letter in the mail today! Oh, I'm so excited. I can't believe that next month I will be a college student. WOW. I also registered for some classes today, since its cutting it soo close, I wanted to get alot done today. I'm only taking 2 classes. I was going to take 3, but one class I'm taking is a prerequisite for the other I wanted to take. Lol. So only two. The math class I'm taking is monday thru friday. From 11:30-12:20. And then I'm taking an Intro to College Writing. That's on tuesday and thursday, from 5:30-6:45pm. So not too bad. I have to redo my work schedule now. My current schedule is 5 days a week, 5am-1pm. I'm worried about potentially not being full time. But with financial aid, and my tax return in febuary, I think it'll be ok. I just have to be smart with my money. Hmm, what else to share....
I haven't made a whole lot of diapers lately. Kind of depressing too. I just don't seem to have the time to go to my grandma's and get anything done. Sad. And I'm also incredibly low on fabric.
I'm having MORE car problems. As if the first $1700 wasn't enough. I had to get a state assisted loan to cover those repairs. And now what? My battery goes. And I know theres a bad connection with the wires too. So a new battery and connection wires. And then, my car hasn't been blowing hot air. So I need anti-freeze. But thats not a major deal. Oh wait, and a headlight. But on a very bright note, Elliot's been working a bit and said he'd buy the battery and wires. Yay! He's gotten a job with snow plowing. Its an on-call job, obviously. But it pays really good.
I'm also going to share a diaper give away in hopes of uping my chance of winning : )

She makes some of the cutest diapers I've ever seen! Seriously. I'm on a sewing board that she's on too. I love her ideas. She is so creative and I just love the way she thinks and comes up with stuff. The give away is for a christmas diaper. It's so cute. It's got a reindeer on the butt. If I win, I'm either going to keep it for my boys, or give it to my aunt and uncle. They cloth diaper their son full time and need new diapers.
Ok. I think that's all I had to share for today. I'll try to update soon. If not before the holidays
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!!!!
