What a gift!

Tom told me yesterday that I can go to the Women's retreat for our church next month. I'm so excited! That was a prayer request of mine, but I didn't know how or if it would be do-able. God is so good!

Not me!!!

You Are 45% Addicted to the Internet

You're somewhat addicted to the internet - but who isn't? You can keep it under check, and you're by no means a hermit.

Are You Addicted to the Internet?

I'm still alive...

I guess. I haven't written anything lately because as of the end of January, my life (as I knew it) took a wild spin into a different direction. Most people who know me, know that my hubby Tom has quite a few medical problems. Well, it's finally happened. No he didn't die! :) But he can't work anymore. He has even started all the stuff to get on Social Security disability. Now it's just a long 120 day wait until we hear from them.

He's become Mr. Mom & is doing an AWESOME job of it. He doesn't cook, but can that man clean! I knew I could maybe get used to it when I opened the microwave and it was spotless inside! The grin on his face was enough to for me to know that he appreciated that I noticed!

Well, this blog thing is going to be sporadic I see. I'm off to tuck kiddos in bed. Ciao!

Things I'm thankful for...

1. I only have 2 more finals - I'm so glad! Ok, so I also have a "practice board exam" too, oh well.
2. I'm excited that it's Thursday - the weekend is almost here.
3. Blaine & Sharolyn each get to have a friend over tomorrow night. This equals them cleaning up the second floor - Hallelujah!
4. I got to hold my great-nephew for an hour this afternoon.
5. I finished Sharon's knitted purse.

and finally...

I'm thankful that a day has only 24 hours!

I hate finals.

I really hate finals. Though I am over halfway done. I took my Real Estate Law final on Saturday morning - flunked it with a 66%. So I thought I'd go over it again - backwards this time, "correcting" wrong answers as I go. Yeah right. This time I got a 61%. Back to the books I go. After staying up until 12:45 am studying I decided to go to bed. On Sunday, I did the test over & got a 88%. Tom was proud of me, but my thoughts are, "Good grief! I spent 3 HOURS studying & all I got was 88%????" I think I can be too hard on myself. Spent about 30 minutes reviewing Module 5 tonight in Blaine's room while he was trying to go to sleep. Apparently, he "heard a scream" and would NOT stay in his room alone. Whatever. He came up with quite a few unique reasons for not wanting to go to bed last night. :)

WOO HOO!

I have completed all of my Real Estate quizzes and have taken ONE of my finals! I passed it with an 85%!!! Yippee!!! Now to go pay bills...

7 tests down, two to go...

I don't believe it. I have taken 7 of my Real Estate quizzes today. I have only 2 quizzes left, then I have to take the finals for each of the 7 Modules. I aced the math test! (Well, I only missed 2, I'd call that ace-ing it!) I'm tired. The kids didn't have school today - the roads were so icy this morning that going to work would have been treacherous, so we had to stay home. I think I made good use of my time. :)

Last night I had an interview at Keller Williams Realty. I think I'm probably going to go with them. I really like what they have to offer, and who can complain about a 70/30 commission split? That's 70% to me and 30% to the KW company, up to 21K or 23K in a year, then I will get 100% of my commissions. I'm unaware of any other companies offering this. I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to get my license before February, but I think I might be able to! Well, here goes everything!

I think I'm going to quit studying for the night...
