well, it's been awhile since i had time to get on here to say howdy. i've been so busy between school and work the last couple of weeks. and it just seems like i get more tired with everyday that goes by. mi clase de espanol is finally over on monday. it was an 8 wk/half semester course. just a helpful hint little seester, don't take a half semester of any language. there is not enough time. some of the people in my class were getting 40's on their tests. we spent 2 days on the last chapter and he ended the class by telling us that there wasn't enough time for a review day and our test would be tomorrow. i don't think i did so well on that test. the finals are monday. i have a written and oral final. and my culture essay and 2 extra credit essays are due on that day too. so i will be busy again all weekend.
on another note, i picked all that stuff up from wal-mart. tell g-pa i love the stroller mom. and juan likes the monitors. he talks to the dogs on them. it's pretty funny cause the dogs don't understand. we put one in the kitchen and the speaker in the baby's room to see how they worked. he was whispering at the dogs but they heard his voice coming from the baby's room louder. they were confused. they just run back and forth from one room to the other trying to figure it out. cooper runs and looks at the speaker with his head cocked off to the side. soooo cute. anywho guess i've wrote enough for now. my lunch break is almost over and i have to get through my blade fold/wing stow class this afternoon then it will be the weekend. i can't wait to be lazy and sleep in on saturday. love you all and write sometime.

weekends!
thank goodness for weekends! Rick and I are coming down with colds and I think I have just wore myself out. I slept for over 10 hours last night. Never get to do that. Maybe I'll fight this cold off better.
Weather here has really sucked. 2 ice storms in a row. didn't even get to recover much from the first. school was cancelled for 2 days and now we are behind in our lectures. don't know when we'll catch up. cram it in a little more I guess.
I sent in my application for nurse practitioner school this week. hopefully I will be accepted and get to start in the fall. It's a full time program so it will be extremely busy for me. Hopefully I will be able to keep teaching for the fall and spring semesters coming up. off for the summer but I'll have to quit work the last semester. No other way to get in all the clinical hours I need. But it will only be for about 4 months. Then I'll be making the big bucks. Already had 2 job offers. One for 90K/year! Just decided I needed to get this done. Rick will feel better about retiring if I'm making a good income to replace his.
grandma and grandpa doing pretty well. they keep their house so hot it's hard to do any work there. I think it would make me sick but then they seldom go outside so they don't have big temperature changes. Grandma has some difficulties. her appetite isn't as good as it used to be - she's getting kind of picky and it makes it hard for grandpa to fix stuff for her. she also has some problems going to the bathroom. I'll have to find somebody this summer to help them out. Once I start school it will be hard to get everything done for them. thought I'd try to get that worked out this summer before I start. Maybe I can get the house straightened up by then.
Met Travis girlfriend, Kat. she seems nice and pretty cute too. he says they think the same about everything and he's never met anyone like her before. it's good to see him happy again.
better get busy with housework around here. Kate, I'll get your bill paid but transfer the money asap to my checking account okay.
Love to all - Mom

Finally getting unsick
It's been a week since I started getting sick. Finally it is starting to go away. I still have a slight cough but other than that I am ok. Jeremy on the other hand just caught it from me a few days ago. Bless his heart. I feel horrible for him. I know exactly how he feels. I am kind of tired today though. I was getting up continuously throughout the night taking care of him. At one point he had a 100.4 temperature and I had to get up to go find him some Tylenol or something to make the fever go down. At that point I got him some more cough syrup and sudafed. Gave him a gatorade and a cough drop and he went back to sleep for a little while. He still tossed and turned all night. And he would want to cuddle and would be all hot and sweaty. Yuck! But I cuddled anyways because I love him and he wasn't feeling well. Got up about 930 10 and did the dishes and got some biscuits and gravy started. The boys finally got up about 11 and took showers and came into the living room. Took Jeremy's temp again and it was back down to 98.3 but he was still having chills. He's doing better though. They are off at the barber shop right now getting their weekly haircuts.
Poor Taylor had quite the time on Friday. She has been sick with pneumonia off and on since Christmas Eve. Friday morning she woke up and told her mom Mommy I have a fever call the doctor. Quite the phrase for a 3 year old. By about 2 or 3 in the afternoon she ended up having a 104.8 temp and was starting to have seizures when she was at urgent care. They stripped her down and gave her a sponge bath and gave her some medicine to make the fever go down. She had low hemoglobin when they drew her blood. Probably because when she isn't at our house she gets mcdonald's for dinner all the time. Jeremy said Lisa doesn't know how to cook. So she isn't getting an adequate amount of greens. But I think she will start giving her Flinestone Kids Vitamins. So that's good.
The boys are painting the garage this weekend. They are painting it in the Coors Light colors. Blue and grey. It looks good so far.
But other than all that I just am tired and have a headache. Threw a picture on here of Taylor. I don't really have a whole lot of pictures of the rest of our family. Suppose I will have to work on that. I need to clean up breakfast though. I will talk to you all later. Love you and miss you all!

not tired, but busy
we have the terminex guy coming over today and we forgot until the last minute. so i've been cleaning house all morning. at least we don't have to worry about cleaning later. sunday is usually our cleaning day but we don't go back to work until wednesday. we were gonna clean tomorrow.
anywho, i'm running outta room in the baby room. i don't know where i'm gonna put everything. after the stroller and carseat we don't have anymore big stuff so i'll get it figured out. i think i'll go ahead and put the bassinet in our room so it'll be outta the way. juan still has to get my glider/rocker too. don't know where that is gonna go. i really don't wanna get rid of the chaise lounge, good for nursing, but i really don't have room for it.
other than that, i have the pics you wanted mama. we re-did our computer and deleted all kinds of crap so it's gonna take a miracle to get them emailed to you. all i should have it figured out by the end of the week. love you all and miss everyone.

Busy? or tired of blogging?
Hello to anyone that visits here. I'm still working but not busy right now. Getting late, my head hurts and I'm ready to go home. Just a few more minutes and I'll be on my way.
What a week. The weather sure did turn it's rear and fart on us! Ice storms, loss of power, UGH! Had to stay in a hotel one night and not even a nice one. But we were lucky and ours was only off for a day. I guess there are still about 6000 in southern Illinois still without electricity since Tuesday(4 days ago!)
Sorry I missed sending Valentine wishes to all my Valentines. I'm not a very good correspondent. In my defense, my internet is out at home. So this is a belated Valentine wish for you all. LOVE YOU!
Hopefully will talk to all this weekend.

Mondays
Another weekend passed by. Got a lot done I guess. Mostly cleaning. Another work week begins. I must be hesitant to start cause I came in here to read my email and here I am 30 minutes later. Coffee getting cold. Lots to do today and need to get going.
Travis here last night. Off to work in Benton, IL with Dad putting together an alcohol plant. He seems to be doing well. Met a girl this weekend and seemed positive about it. He's driving back tonight. Weather is supposed to get bad today so hopefully he'll make it fine.
More doors put up here. Now the only doors left are the closets and upstairs. Still plenty of work to do. Rick keeps plugging at it. Hopefully we'll be done by spring so we can move the work outside. Landscaping time! I'm hoping to put out a garden this year. Just a small one. Few tomatoes and peppers, my herbs of course, and some squash (that stuff is always easy to grow!)
Time to hit the showers. Love the new pictures. Where are yours little sister?!!!
LOVE TO ALL!
