TAKING MY CHANCES
OK first thing, why the heck is my font in caps? Damned if I can figure it out! Kate? I am currently useing verizon dsl and msn. Same as you, right? I can’t use firefox at the moment. I still don’t have my computer hooked up to the Internet and my mother is not what we can call, hip to new things lol. Her boyfriend told her that its just a new rage and she doesn’t need it. He is old school IE user. And he knows it all lol. Even though every time he messed with her computer she has problems.
I pretty much have it down to a science on erasing my internet trail so I feel pretty safe blog again. And ya know what, if she can dig deep enough (though I don’t think she would know how) in this puter to find what I have been doing, good for her. And if she don’t like what she reads, tuff tooties lady, ya shouldn’t be snooping!
Any how. Not much new really. Kids are all adjusted in school again. All doing very well so far, woo hoo! Sophia is pretty busy this year with all the classes she has to take. She also is in the French Club, Key Club, (no ASB club, how strange) and getting a pt job. Not sure I like the later until after the first semesters grades. Zoe is doing pretty well as far as I can tell. We will have to wait until her first progress report before I can let my breath out on that one though! Aidan is doing great so far, all A’s on every paper he has brought home so far! WOO HOO. He also finally has a friend that lives across the street this year! It was a long, long summer with no one for him to play with in the neighborhood. So his weekends have been filled with them either here or at J’s house. He also decided that he wants to give band a try this year. We go tonight to pick up and pay for his instrument.
I finally heard from the city about the job at school. Not sure when I start but, I have a pt job at the Aidans’s school. It’s only 2 1/2 hours a day five days a week. But heck my foot is in the door. Once I am done training then I can put in for something with more hours. The hours I have now are great to start too! I can get everyone off to work/school and have time to have coffee and get ready with out being rushed, get home and have time to get a errands or two done before I have to pick anyone up.
Angus is doing well. He had one stint and some ballooning done on his other leg last Monday. Didn’t bother him a bit. He was back to work last Thursday. It’s so nice that he can walk without pain let me tell you. We actually took the kids and went apple picking this weekend! Walked that orchard for hours. His legs were a bit worn out by the end of the day though. His poor muscles are just not use to all the walking he can do yet lol. But I plan on helping that out. Lots of walking in our future!
We also found out that he has to have a couple more stints in his chest area and then they are going to put him in a study group for his carotid artery. Insurance doesn’t cover them unless it’s a study. Not FDA approved operation yet I guess. We are hoping by the first of the year they will have all the metal they need to put in him done.
Lets see, not much else new I guess. Oh I think I forgot to mention that I quit smoking last month when I was in the hospital! Doing pretty good so far. I have had a couple in the past couple of weeks though. Shhhhhhhhhhhh. But I haven’t bought any. My mom gave me a couple (bad mommy) and I kind of hung on to them, then caved and had one during a stress moment a week or two ago lol. And the second one I just had while typing this. But no craving of them. Or OMG I need one moments. The only time it really has crossed my mind is when I have had a glass of wine. Then, then one sounds really good lol. keeping my fingers crossed that I can keep it at bay. It would be nice to smoke only when I having a glass of wine with a friend again, like I used too. And then Angus moved in with me and having him there smoking all the time did me in. Only took me about a year to almost catching up with him cig for cig. He would absolutely have a cow if he knew I had one at this point. So hopefully that will help lol.
Well have to get stuff done. Hopefully I will be able to blog more now.
