Procrastination

So I am at the very end of the classes that I have to take to finish up my special education certification. I am currently taking the last two classes. I have been taking these classes mostly via email with a professor in another city. The last four or five classes that I have had I have put off to the last second also. but I think that I have put these two off the longest. All the work in the two are due by the 15th. which is next tuesday. I have not even began the work. One of them is supposed to be my practicum and I should have been working on it at least 3 to 5 hours a week for the last 10 weeks. WELL i have not even thought about it for more than an hour. So today I am starting to worry about the out come of the two classes. I have never recieved anything lower than an A in any of my grad classes and I believe that this is the time that I will get that C. Well i have to have a C to pass the classes. If I dont pass I have to do them over and I am soooo ready for school to be over that I really dont want that to happen. Plus I have to have passed the certification test that I took last month and i wont know about that till the 25th of this month. So I am starting to stress a little about the whole thing. Which I know is my own fault. But I have decided to get started on the work this week. I have taken the day off of work on Friday and I plan to do a littl e work then and then on Sunday I plan to work all day long on the work. I know its mothers day but I will just have to have lunch or dinner with mom and call it a day. I dont think that the work will take me any longer than a day or two so i think i can get it all done on sunday but if not I have all day after work on monday to get it finished and all day on tuesday and then i can send it to her on tuesday night. my wonderful signifigant other will be in reno all weekend and into the week so I will have nothing to do but sit around and do my work. So everyone wish me luck and pray that i get enough done to at least get a C! :) Nothing like shootin for the stars eh! :)
Night! MMMMWUAH!

Four eyes...

So lately my son has been complaining of eye pain and blinking his eyes alot. So I took him to the eye doctor and found out that he is farsighted and has trouble focusing on things that are close to him. So even though he can see the words in a book now it will be much harder for him to focus in on the words as they get closer together and smaller in the books he reads as he gets older. So the conclusion is that he needs the glasses when he is at school doing his work or if he is on the computer (since he is so close to the screen) So we bought two new pairs of glasses today, and it was cheaper for us to buy two pair than one. Tell me how that is possible, but anyway. (And we are yet to see if his good for nothing dad will pay for his half.)

I was really freaking out about this whole glasses thing. I was being a little superfical and was thinking he was going to look silly in them, and consequently not be as cute anymore :) LOL But the more I look at him in the glasses the more I think that he is really cute in them. Ijust hope that glasses are not a big deal anymore because I really dont want him to get made fun of. I know that I never made fun of anyone with glasses nor did I ever hear anyone make fun of another kid. But, you always hear those stories.

The thing about this is that today I asked the nurse at school if he had passed his vision test. She told me yes, but if his eyes were hurting it was better to be safe than sorry and go the the eye doctor. So finding out that he needed these glasses to read makes me wonder how many other little kids "pass" their vision test and their parents get told that thier eyes are fine and then they go through school for a few year and are not able to focus on what they are reading because they cant see. In turn they fall behind or develop a reading problem. Then they may get placed in special needs classes or something like that. I know that is far fetched, but crazier things have happened. And all of it could have been prevented if the eye test that the nurse did was a little more thorough.

That is all the ranting I have for the day! MMMMWUAH!

Growing up is hard to do...

So the topic given to me by ch-hay this evening is...If you could grow up in any decade what decade would you choose. This has taken me aback a little. I thought that I would instantly know and know all of the reasons why I would like to have grown up during that time. But, after much thought I have decided that decade that I wish I were a part of would have to be the mid seventies to the mid eighties. I know this is not a "decade" per say, but it is a ten year period. I like to hear all the things that my aunts and uncles and my mom and dad did during the late seventies. Plus, leagal drinking age was 18 for a while so we would have fun with that. I also really like the muscle cars from that period of time. I would personally enjoyed owning and driving a mid seventies Camero :) The music of that time period was great also. Everything was very laid back in the seventies. No one really cared about much. Everyone just chilled and had a good ol time. But them you get into the eighties and the world started to change. I would have liked to experience that change. I really dont have any specific reasons about why I would have liked these particular ten years, but that is a general overview for those of you who care.
