OptomisticGirl Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Is it the end of the week yet? No? My brother got Tyler a fish as an early Christmas present, so adorable! Of course said fish died that same night so he had to go back out and get another one before Tyler woke up. Poor guy. I bought Tyler's first Christmas present today: a aquarium decoration that is Spongebob's house. Making meatloaf tonight, L's first time having my meatloaf. Hopefully I won't poison him, hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Slept in til 6:30 this morning (so sad when 6:30 is considered sleeping in!). Went and caught up with Hers for a few hours over breakfast in Atlanta before coming in to work today. I'm working with someone who really doesn't have common sense. Amazes me. But oh well, someone has to, right? So ready for tomorrow at 2:30.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 So glad to be off for two days! Came home from work yesterday and L and I promptly took a 3 hour afternoon nap together. It was really nice to nap together but neither of us wanted to sleep for 3 hours! Poor L barely slept last night because of it and he had to go to work this morning. It didn't help that Jasper got sick in the middle of the night because my son won't stop eating the old Christmas tree!! I'm at moms now doing laundry while being subjected to Spongebob to keep Tyler quiet, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 Bridezilla marathon now that L is in bed. It almost makes me miss wedding planning.... not. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 So glad work is over. I will be so glad when this week is over.... I am only working 6-9 on Friday because I have to take mom to her dentist appointment. My brother was going to but he's starting physical therapy on his finger that day and she obviously can't drive herself after having a few teeth taken out. Everyone else leaves early to help their moms so I sure as heck am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 Woohooo! The stress at work has left until next year! Well, this specific stress at least. I only have to work 3 hours tomorrow since I'm leaving to take mom to her dentist appointment. Rather looking forward to only 3 hours of work! Then again I have to work by myself all weekend when there's suppose to be two people there. Boooo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 Looking at the business administration program at my college, weighing my options.... may take the spring semester off just to change gears and get my bearings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie24 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 you don't want to do ultrasound anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 you don't want to do ultrasound anymore? Not that I don't want to, I just can't do A&P. At least the A&P my school offers. You must take the lecture and lab at the same time and I don't know if it's because my mind doesn't naturally wrap around stuff like that or the fact I'm learning lecture stuff and learning new lab stuff every single week (plus working full time), but I just can't do it. I was reading for 6 hours every day and I was just not able to catch up. And in order to get into the ultrasound program you have to be a straight A student and I MAY have passed that class with a C, maybe a B, but def. no A.

annie24 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 if you take the course again, would you be able to pull your grade up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 Nope. For some reason my college has the rule that even if you retake a course and ace it, that higher grade doesn't replace the lower one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie24 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 maybe it would replace it on your application though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 No because they look at your GPA as a whole when you apply so if you have a bad grade you won't have a 4.0 GPa which is what they really look at when excepting the six candidates for the program.

OptomisticGirl Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 I worked from 6-9 today, leaving at 9 to go pick my mom up from her house. Drove her to Commerce to get a tooth pulled - owie! - then I took her to get her prescription and run a few errands before the pain medication wore off. While out and about with her I popped by the mechanic because, surprise surprise, the car was making a strange dragging noise whenever I applied the brakes today. So we need new brake pads - yay! It's not too bad price wise - $135 including labor - so I'm taking it up there Thursday after work to get fixed since we're heading to my uncle's next Friday. Speaking of that, I need to do L's shirt like ASAP.... And it looks like we'll do our family pictures after the turn of the year. My mom is worried about getting everyone together and I'm like look, just pick a Saturday or Sunday and I'll ask for it off. Let my sister know and if she doesn't make it hey, she doesn't make it.

OptomisticGirl Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Things are going great with L's job. He went to a meeting today with the head of our department and the area the manager wants to hand off to L could be a major stepping stone to getting us to Myrtle. So much so we're starting to look into schools that could further that area for L. Of course no local schools do that, haha. Figures. We have a while before he becomes eligble to receive aide though.

OptomisticGirl Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 His mom is right, he's the only person I know who could roll in poo and come out smelling like roses! The monday following going down to my uncles we are going to drive to Athens and get L his permit as well and start THAT fun process. And we really need to get that ball rolling because if he takes on the responsibility the manager wants him to he'll have to go to regional meetings - aka drive - and it won't always be feasible for me to take PTO time to drive him to places as far away as four hours away. Plus it gives me a chance to talk to my advisor about taking the spring semester off and then starting the business program in the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptomisticGirl Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Those Elves can just kill those baby reindeer. Hahaha. It's L's fault. He wanted something and it's not my fault I'm smarter than him. I told him if he wanted that I could start decorating this weekend, he relented. I'm sure he'll regret it, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zentoCC Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I hate decorating for Christmas, we once put the tree up on the 24th of December. The 10th is the earliest it will go up. Seeing Christmas decorations for so long makes me wish for summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 Well that was the most stressful decorating I have ever had. Jasper knows whats up but Luna? I'm going to be shocked if the tree makes it to the 25th. It hasn't even been up 4 hours and she's already climbed it. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 My advisor finally got back in touch with me. After some long consideration I've decided not to forgo classes this spring (even L said I should take the semester off) but I am switching majors. So need to get on the ball with registering for those soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
