I'm back...

First I'd like to apologize to my readers...I'm sorry that I haven't been a very good blogger! Since right before Halloween I've been very busy.

Those who might of read 'Hick Heaven' will already know that we had a Halloween 'alternative' party. It was a lot of fun and a lot of work. I wasn't too prepared but all went well. The kids had fun and that is what mattered the most. We had some games for them and every family that came brought candy for every kid, my kids are still finishing their candy off. We went trick or treating 'old school'. We went to the same houses that I did as a kid. All farm houses, where the ladies don't bring the candy to the door. You must walk in through the house to the kitchen where they can have a good look at you and talk a bit. It took us an hour and a half to go to 9 houses. lol Four of the houses had women who are 'shut ins' , so we decided to treat them this year with fruit baskets and homemade apple butter ( thank you 'Hick Heaven'). The ladies loved it! It was my favorite part of the night and next year that will be my main focus with kids - treat others!

A week ago my online school materials arrived. I'm taking a medical transcription course. Of course it's been so long since I've done anything especially typing that I opted to take a basic keyboarding course for medical assistants too. Which I'm in the process of right now. Let me tell you my wrists and fingers are killing me! I have only been averaging 45 words per minute. Of course I'm at the beginning of the course. Hopefully I'll get my speed up to 70 words per minute by the time I finish the course. Once I'm done with the basic keyboarding I'll start the medical transcription course and hopefully be working from home by next summer. Bryan would then like to start college probably something to do with art.

I feel as though the year 2007 will be a good one for us. Our son Wil will be on Bryan's insurance by January and we will no longer need medicaid! Praise the Lord! I'm thankful that we've had it all this time but I'm ready to move on. The next raise that Bryan gets will push us over the income limit, as it stands right now, if Bryan makes an extra $200 a month we'll lose it anyway. Which is why I'm taking this course, we can finally have a larger income. Once I start working it should hopefully double our income if not triple it. I so can't wait!

Also today Wil finally got his school assistant. For those of you who don't know since school started in August I've had to go to his school erveryday to do his changings and feedings. I feel as though I live in that place. It was suppose to be temporary......four months later........I 'm still doing it. It wasn't the schools fault, there was no one to hire. As of today I finally got my relief! Yay!!!! Tonight Wil had 'power soccer'. He did great! My parents went to watch his practice and they really enjoyed it! Wil was showing off and having a blast. It's neat to see him in his niche.

Saige made student council at his school and last Saturday went to (I think) Hammond, Indiana to a student council gathering. He learned more of what the student council does and he had a lot of fun. I'm so glad that he is getting involved in extra school activities. Not to mention he is an assistant coach on Wil's soccer team. The coach calls him 'Coach Wigge', Saige is eating it up!

Life has been good but very busy! I will try not to neglect my blogging duties anymore. I don't want to recieve any 'hate' mail. lol
