As much as I'm loving school and my classes, I think I'm going to drop my writing class. I've missed a few classes and now it's taking me forever to catch up. And I'm already doing poorly in my math class. So I think I just need to drop the writing one and take it a little easier. I haven't been in school for 5 years and I guess I forgot quiet a bit. Lol.
So I'm hoping that that will mean I can have a bit more time to pick up on sewing again. I haven't done it in forever and really miss it. Sewing was my way to relieve stress and relax. I need it. And I'm also thinking about buying a serger. I really really want to. So we'll see.
I think that's about it for now. I probably have more to share, but it's starting to get late and I have to work at 5am.

School and Everything Else
I've been in school for about 3 weeks now. I love it. I get out of the how two nights a week for an in-room class. I really like my teacher and alot of my classmates. But I'm having alot of trouble with my math class. I can't believe how much I've forgotten in 5 years. I tried looking into a tutor in the town I live in rather than having to drive 25 miles to see one. And I'm going going in two days a week so I didn't want to have to drive there any more than I had too. So I went to my highschool to see if someone could help me. The guidence lady I talked to said she'd look into it for me. She called back the other day and said that my college had free tutors. So I guess I'll just do that. I'm going to try to arrange it to be on the days I'm already going there.
I'm pretty sick today and probably not going to class (which makes me mad) but I'm still going to try to go in and talk to someone about finding a tutor.
Hmm, what else? I'm still working and all. Although I really wish I didn't have to.
We're also looking into buying a second car. Elliot keeps driving mine and I'm always stuck at home. So I think we'll be getting one for him.
I haven't been able to do much sewing at all lately. With work and school and homework, it's just not happening right now. And it makes mu upset. I love sewing. I made a pair of longies from the Fancycloth Longies Pattern. They turned out soo cute. I want to make a pair for Andrew but I just havent had the time. I think I have spring break next month so maybe I'll take a week off work and go crazy then.
That's all I can think of for now. I know it's been a while since I last posted. My computer had a virus (again). But now it's back so I'll keep up more.

First day of school!
Woo hoo!
Technically today (tuesday) is going to be my first day in a class room. But I started my online class yesterday. It's a math class monday thru friday. And tuesday and thursday evening I have a writing class, which I start later today. I had a lot of running around yesterday. I left my house around 11am to go meet with my uncle. He's my godfather and is really happy to see me going to school. We met for lunch and then went over to the college. He wanted to make sure all my financial aid was in order. Which it's a good thing we went because it turns out I didn't sign something. And thats why I haven't heard anything about it. But they said it was ok. So in the next couple weeks I'll hear more about that. Then we went to the book store. He bought what I needed for my math class and that was it. But last night I find out that there's another book I need. But it wasn't posted. Ugh. But its only $30. So I'm going to go get it later. I'm also probably going to get a backpack and some more notebooks and folders.
I also went to see a good friend that I haven't seen since september. It was soo nice seeing him. He had some problems a few months ago and was arrested and put in a halfway house for violating him probation. I sat there and talked with him for two hours. We talked about all kinds of things. Me going to school, my relationship with Elliot, my kids, how he's been, what really happened the night he got arrested. Elliot was with him that night but didn't tell me what really happened. So I'm upset about that.
But I'm happy because the place he's staying at is less then 10 minutes from the school. And I'll be there twice a week. So I can stop in and see him before or after I go.
I also bought a pattern to make longies and pants for my boys. I haven't made any yet, since I've been trying to get ready for school and everything. But hopefully soon. I even bought some really cute fabric.
So I have quiet a bit going on. I might be cutting back on my hours at work to focus on school and stuff right now. We'll se how it all goes : )
