Hi guys. Im back now. Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to blogging but I finally started nursing school on Monday and it has been great. We had a test on our 2nd day of class and I passed with a final score of.......107....which is a perfect score. I had the highest score in the class. I felt soo good about myself. Why? Because this year I have been out of school settings for 10 years and BOOM I still have it baby! What can I say? I ain't skeered!!!
I feel really good about this class and school has been my dream for almost 10 years now and it feels great to have God tell me that I am answering a call for some elderly resident in a facility that has no family or that needs to see your smile and your constant attention and compassion and love given to them. It makes me feel good.
As far as the house thing goes-well I may be putting it on the market to sale it to save my credit but the good news is that there is a new home for rent for alot less than what Im paying across the street from me now that went up for rent today and we are waiting on the lady to get back to us on it. So maybe things do happen for a reason. God works in misterious ways and I believe it. God bless him.
The family cookout went really well. Im not sure yet if mama posted any pic.s but trust me there was pic.s and video taken. We all had a great time. We got to visit with Kathy and Lil C aka CJ and had a wonderful time. The children had a blast playing over the grill roasting marshmellows. It was a great end to last week and a great start to this week. I am out of school tomarrow and will probably be studying some more and maybe back online. See you tomarrow. Keep me in your prayers.

All 4 boy's this weekend!!!! HHHEEELLLPPPP!!!!
Well as for the fishing trip I didn't whoop Eddie's butt like I had hoped for. Oh well, there's always next time. LOL! The only thing that I caught was a hellacious sunburn. OUCH! It hurts like hell too. We caught 1 fish a piece that was keepers and like 2 or 3 that we had to throw back due to they were too small to keep. Our neighbor's Ronnie and his wife Mary Jane went along in their boat and they had no luck either. As a matter of fact the last time Eddie and Ronnie went fishing they caught quite a few and Mary Jane asked Eddie where he and Ronnie baught all those fish they "caught" the last time.. LOL! I thought that was funny. All in alll we had a good day though. Like Eddie said " a bad day of fishing is better than any good day at work". Agreed.
On the other hand we have all four boys this weekend. Yeah for us huh? They arent being too bad so far--Knock on Wood. Hopefully they will be good this weekend. Sometimes they are sometimes they arent. Just like me, they have good day's and bad days. The rain has finally moved in here and hopefully it'll move out by tomarrow for the cookout. No offence mama, but I dont think that burgers in the oven would be any good. Neither would all 7 boys locked up in the house with us! LMAO!
My mom has the baby, Lil Clay, today for a few hours and that's probably why she hasnt been online. She will have lots of fun with him, he is soooo precious. He's my little piece of heaven--Literally. Well short and sweet today. Im sure we'll hear all about the baby stories in a little while. LOL. Until next time.....

Life, What the HELL is going on???
Well first of all I need to start by saying sorry to Pualius for steeling his title to his blog but I really needed it for this one. Sorry!!! Well so far today my day has gone pretty well. We are planning on going fishing tomarrow since the weather is suppose to be beautiful! Hopefully I'll whoop Eddie's butt!!!LOL. I have talked to my mom today, two of my sister's, and got to spend most of the day with Eddie. Good thing!
I am still looking forward to going to my mom's this weekend for the cookout. But I am still worried about the foreclosure deal. I got a certified letter in the mail today from the mortgage company....NOT GOOD! Oh well all I can do is take it one day at a time and hopefully good things will come out of my patience. Although that is a virtue that I never have been good with.
I do have a prayer going out tonight for a young lady that both of my brothers went to school with. Her 3 year old son died on Sunday from Leaukemia. My prayers are with Tabitha at this moment. I can only imagine what she is going through right now. I feel soooo sorry for her.
well that's pretty much all I have to say today. Just have alot of stuff to do today to get ready for tomarrow. Wish me luck.

Maybe things aren't getting so much better???
Well things were looking up until today I recevied a 30 day right to cure on my house-which means if I don't come up with at least $2300.00 in a month then I will have to put my house on the market and sell it or either let them foreclose on me. AGGGHHHHH!!! I dont have the money to move or even for a downpayment. Also, I'm fixing to start school Monday and wont be drawing a paycheck for at least 4 weeks after that! So anyone have any suggestions???
The good news is I got to babysit my newest nephew yesterday while his mommy went to her horseback riding lessons. He just lights up my life. Pretty much the same way Clay did. I wont say that he fills the hole in my heart from Clay going away...but he seems to for the moments that Im with him. He is the most precious thing ever. I took like 9 pic.s of him and as soon as I have time to download them I promise I will.
God, I'm scared of what is going to happen next with life??? I know dont ever ask that! But I wasnt asking I was making a statement. The med.'s are finally working and in my system good now so Im doing alot better. I know God is a busy man and I hope that he hear's our prayer's every night and can help me out with my situation on the house. The lottery winning number's would help...LOL!!! Sorry people just short and sweet today. I have things to do tonight and get kid's ready for school tomarrow. TTYL! You will all be in my prayer's as usual. Thank You to everyone who supports me with encouraging words when Im down. I do only have 2 people I can really talk to other than whomever is reading my blogs. It really does help me alot though. Thank You to all of you.

Getting Better FINALLY!!!!
Well I went to a job interview last Monday (the same day my mom got admitted to the hospital) and it went great. There was an add in the newpaper for a nursing home near home and I decided to go check it out. I went online posted my application and within hours they were calling me wanting an interview. Come to find out it is a job opening for a CNA and they will send me to school and pay for my schooling. The only downfall is that the classes are held in Easley (my hometown) which is like 35 minutes from here and with gas prices and me not working it's gonna be hard to pay for gas back and forth. They are very strict in the classes also. You arent allowed to miss one day. If you do then they will drop you like a bad habit. After I go to class for about 2 weeks, I should earn my 16 hour certificate and then be able to work some at the facility. But how do I pay bills in the mean time??? Or gas expenses???
I am currently over 90 days past due on my mortgage payment and I am worried that they are going to foreclose on me soon. I start my 1st round of vaccinations on Monday(tomarrow). Then another one -one month from that one , then another round 3 months later. I have already passed the drug test and the interview and the Tiberculosis test. So that much is out of the way. I am very excited about it and am looking forward to it. I have also gotten back on my med.'s and am feeling a little better. Thank you Jesus! He does work in mysterious ways.
On the up-side, mom is starting to feel a little better a little at a time. Thank You to paulius for keeping everyone updated on her care. I was really worried about her. Now I'm worried that my only brother may end up in a restitution center for 6 months to a year over something that he wasnt at fault for. That's all I need is for him to get sent off too. He's the only brother I have left. They started my oldest son, TJ out on some depression med.'s and we're hoping that they are gonna work. Pray for me guys. I need all the prayers I can get right now. God only knows I have worn his prayer list out. His ear probably hurts by now.LOL. I start school next Monday. YEAH!!!
Well guys I have kids to bathe and put to bed so I have to go now. Hopefully I'll continue to have better luck with things.
