We've gone green

I thought maybe I'd write about something other than school.  But first...I have to say, I took a final on Monday in History Taking and got 99%!  That's more like it!


Okay, now I'll explain the title.  I take the bus to school (on most days that I'm up early enough to catch the but at 7:00), Michael bought a bike a few weeks ago and rides his bike to work on most days, too.  With gas now hitting $4.00 a gallon, we knew something had to change.  Two times this week we even packed the kids in the stroller/bike trailer and rode up to Harmon's to get a Redbox movie.  The first ride I felt like I was going to throw up when we got there, but tonight I didn't feel that way until I got home.  I'm getting better!

Well, I'm going so Michael and I can watch a movie together.  Later!

Time flies

What a crazy past few weeks!  I started school, and Michael was home for the first two weeks.  Then he was gone from Monday morning to Friday night last week and this week.  It's been a real challenge to stay on top of studies and reading and homework without any help at night.  The first week, my parents were able to help out but this week, they have been busy, too.  The other night I put on a movie and tried to get some reading done (yes, I have evolved into one of those parents who lets the TV do a little babysitting...) and after 1 1/2 pages 20 minutes later decided the kids weren't interested in the TV and needed some Mommy time.  So I put the book away and we all climbed into my bed to sleep together.


I passed BioChemistry, something I am very proud of!  I don't have to remediate the first class in the program!  Yeah for me!  Now starts our chaotic summer schedule of rotating classes.
The weather has been as crazy as ever.  It's June 7th at 10:05 right now and it's 49 degrees outside.  We've had the heat on the last few days.  It has rained and been in the 60's the last few days.  So crazy.

My sister Jessica got home yesterday, and it was so fun to see her!  I'm so glad she gets to be here for the next almost two months!  Yeah for family!

Well, that's it for me.  I've got to get back to the books.
