My 11 year old told me today that when she is 13 she would like to drive in the "Younge Guns" . That is a 13-16 year old class in dirt track car racing. I'm all for it! I think it would raise her self-estemm 100%. I know I had always wanted to drive race car but didn't want to do it in the
'powder puff" league which was the only girls league at the time. I wanted to race with the big boys! Today girls do get to race with the big boys and I am happy about that. Now if girls could play baseball with the guys we would be set!

Vitamins
I received my first C today on my vitamin test. It was a lot harder than I expceted. When I started reading the test I got all the vitamins mixed up in my head. Especially the B vitamins. Oh well, tomarrow is our liquide in take test. I am sure to get an A on that. As long as the calulator is right, anyhow.
My baby starts kindergarden next month. The sadness has already started on my part. She is the last one. No more babies at home during the day. I thought I'd be happy when this day came. I'm sure I'll get over it, by next year!

Test number what?
I have 5 tests this week and I only have 2 classes! It looks like I am holding a high B in nutrtion. I should be doing better than that. I love the subject. Honestly the class is not an excitement. The teacher is a bore. I still have an A in A&P! Another test on the muscles this time. Quick fact: There are 500 muscdles in the body. Thank God I don't need to know all of them and what they do!
I think that I might get some watermelons from the garden this year. The plant is huge and it has flowers on it. Have to go study. Have a good day.

The person (s) who count the bones in the body can't agree whether we have 206 or 208. The human body is even more amazing when you go and study it. Did you know that there was a doctor in Rome who almost had the mysteries of the human body figured out. Then he died and his work wasn't cont. again for 200 years! If fact learning stopped all togther in the dark ages. That is why they are called the dark ages.
Did you know that there is actually one bone in the body not attched to any other bone?
Well, i know that will be on my test Monday. I have one Monday, tues, and at least on other day if not two. I hope I can remember all the stuff I learned. You would think that the functions of the bone would be easy but as with anything that looks easy... there is always more to it.

Hows That go?
FYI
Did you know that a California Cobb Salad with dressing from McDonalds has more calories and fat then their Big Mac?
That salad you bought from McDonalds also contains sugar even with out the dressing. YEP, the lettuce comes prepackaged from headquarters and before it is sealed is sprinkeled with sugar.
How about that Taco Salad from Taco Bell... 750 calories. Let's not talk about the fat in that.
Did you know that the calories on a package of anything is probley not correct. Check it out for yourself add together Carbs,fat and protein. That gives you the correct amount of calories. You may surpised to find that whomever did these numbers is up to 30 calories off!!!

It's not easy
IT is not easy being a straight A student. I have had 5 tests this week. Now I am taking a break, called all my friends and took a peek at my garden. We have to keep track of what we eat this week and count calories, carbs, fat and protein. YIPPPEEE! I'd rather be tourchered! I know that I am slightly overweight do I have to be reminded? Maybe this will get me to eat better.MAYBE!

Sugar and spice and everything...
Sugar and spice and everything nice, That's what little girls are mad of.
Today my six year old is having a lemonade stand. She has 20 oz. bottles along with regular cups. She is doing this by herseld (because she wants to keep all the money). She doesn't give change either so if you see her you might want to have exact change ready. She always does so well at this. She may one day own a bunch of stands! I know a good place for one today would be outside of the ALL Star Fest downtown. That is where my husband is today.
I had posted my philosophy book on half.com and I actually sold it! I can't beleive it.
I also recieved my composting worms. I am so excited!! Sometimes I wounder if I am not anal about recycleing. Even the 20 oz. bottles for the lemonade are pop bottles rinsed out! But the less you spent the more you make right?

Another day another blog
So my husband has had his surgery and is driving me bonkers. This is his 2nd on the same shoulder within, 2 months. I know that he is going nuts sitting at home and not being able to do anything. I know that he is in a lot of pain and it is depressing not being able to go back to work when you really want to. On the other hand, he is driving me bonkers!
I started back to school today and can already see that this year is going to fly by. That makes me excited because that means that I can get my LPN and then buy a house. That is going to be my reward! I will buy a house with some land, so my kids can play, my dog can run and I can garden, withou running into each other.
If anyone is interrested there is a neat website to check out it is www.earth911.org

My getaway
I am not very good at expressing myself unless I am feeling creative so here we go. Let me tell you about my 3 day getaway.
It was a nice four hour drive, with the green landscape whizzing by. None the less I was glad that we arrived at our destination. My legs were beginning to hurt because our 50 pound dog had been laying on my lap for the past two hours. He is such a baby. The family and I went in a restarunt for dinner and we had to leave him in the van. When we get back on the road he climbs on my lap and lays down to make sure that I can't go anywhere else without letting him out first. I climb out of the van and in hale the fresh country air. AAAAAHHH, it smells so sweet or is that the cow manure. Either way it doesn't smell like anything we have at our house and I like it. The kids jump out all excited and grab their bags. It is still light so if they hurry and get their stuff to the rooms they stay in then they will still have time to play. We enter, ha the dog has already spotted a cat and preceeds to chase it up the stairs to the last bedroom. Our littlest is yelling "mom, the dog is chasing the cat". I tell "Eddie" the dog, to get down here and be good. Now we go out side. It is so peaceful, there is not a sound that annoys the senses. Only sound of birds and crickets and now the added laughter of children. Eddie and I walk up to the old apple trees, where the was a duck sitting on its nest and eddie chased it to the ditch. No duck and can't see the nest. G says that the duck never came back. OOOPS! I'm sure it will come back next spring. I see all the familer sights that I have been seeing since I was little. Not much has changed as far as sight goes. Maybe a paint job or two and the farmers rotate the crops every year, but other then that it is the same sights as always. Green, brown and trees as far as the eye can see. Sometimes if you are lucky you can see deer out the kitchen window. Well, I must go for now my getaway hopefully I can continue this tomarrow.
