In School Again

I feel like I'm too old to go back to school, but I'm doing it anyway. I enrolled in a community college a few months ago & am now a part time student. I am going to get my Associates Degree in Accounting. I don't really need to have the degree since I'm already working as a Staff Accountant but if I ever want to move up, move on, or whatever, I need that piece of paper. The first class I'm taking is only a 1 credit course on the fundamentals of accounting. It is a super easy class but I wanted something simple to get my feet back in the water.

Luke thinks it is really cool that I'm in school. He often asks me to see my homework & asks if I got a sticker on my papers. lol. He also wants to know why I don't get to ride the school bus like he does...he thinks I'm missing out by driving the van to school. :)

Let me tell you, it is hard to get everything done that should be done. But, I have Ben to help & support me. He is great. When I need time to do my homework I tell him I going to hide out in the bedroom. He then takes the kids & occupies there time. I couldn't do it without him. Actually, I don't think I could do anything without him. But that's for another post.

My next post will be about Luke...his likes, dislikes, etc. Then I'll do Kurt...just in time for his 2nd Birthday! I can't believe my "baby" turns 2 on Sunday!

Are we ever going to feel better???

Yes, its that time of year here in Minnesota...cold/flu season. Our whole house is sick! First it started out with Ben. He just had a run of the mill head cold & cough...well, it has been 2 weeks now & he still has it. I ask him every day, "do you want to go to the dr?" His reply everyday is, "no, I'm feeling better today." I'm giving up asking as of today. He's a big boy, he can pick up the phone to call for an appointment!!
Next it was Kurt's turn. He's been fussy, cranky, etc for over 2 weeks. His sleep was horrible & that's saying something, since he is the BEST sleeper ever!! But since he had just been into the dr for something else, we decided not to take him in this time...we thought it was just a cold & the dr would just say it needs to run its course. Well, finally last week we took Kurt in because he started to get pussy stuff coming out of his eyes...you know the booger looking green stuff? lol. GROSS! Guess what he has?!? An ear infection along with a sinus infection!!! WHAT? I swear, we normally would have brought him into the dr & nothing would have been wrong. We don't take him into the dr & this is what we get. Grrrr...I felt like a horrible mommy.
Now it is MY turn!! Over a week ago I could feel a cold coming on. I get bronchitis very easy & just knew it was starting. I went into the dr right away so I could get the z-pack & all would be right in the world again. Well, the z-pack didn't work. By Wednesday the next week I was feeling terrible again. Went back into the dr & now I have pneumonia. UGH! I spent the next 2 days sleeping. Thank goodness for Ben, he was wonderful. He kept the kids out of the bedroom for 2 days. :)
As for Luke...he just has a little cough. Lucky boy!
So, that is what has been going on in our lives the past 2 weeks.
