What degree are you going for, ladies?

I'm going to be the vaguely scary science teacher that hatches chicks in class.
But first I have to get licesure as an old maid English teacher....

I worked for two colleges when I was finishing my MBA. The main thing I noticed that separated the students that finished their degrees and those that didn't was persistence. The ones that didn't finish saved the scariest class for last (usually college algebra) and then either didn't finish the class or failed it and didn't re-take it. The ones that graduated just did the work and got help when they got scared. My advice is just do it. Getting up and going to work every day, day after day, clean and sober, and raising kids is a lot harder than anything you are going to encounter with school. It's just different, and God bless you for wanting to be around little kids all day. Not my cup of tea. Good luck to you and Bows.

No little kids for me. I love em and all. But I want to teach high school....



And I have to pass the scariest part right after summer school or they won't let me back this fall. So, I take the summer classes, take the big scary comprehensice test, and then we see what happens next. I took and passed the big scary test 10 years ago, but I think its bigger and scarier now.
Still, I passed it while coping through my dad being diagnosed with cancer and my ex filing for divorce. So the big scary test isn't so big and scary to the me that is now. Watch Fate reach out and back-fist for that little gem of logic....

I was gonna ask you if you stopped to see if it was actually dead but you are way ahead of me.

And as for laying pipe dont you need batteries for the plastic kind

When I was a kid and I was in trouble Mom would yell, "You'd better behave or we'll get you replaced with a computer!"
I didn't know what the heck that was, but it sounded bad.

Now I can tell DH, "You'd better behave or I'll go buy some batteries."

Bows is not going back to school to deal with rugrats! I give teachers a lot of credit, I love and adore my two rotten heathens but 26 of them? NO WAY! and the parents can be another whole issue! (can you tell I substituted for a while lol).

I'm going to finish my BS degree in informatics.

My kind of construction is full of desperation, the fear of my own clutziness and "gotta get this done right NOW". Hence the wading pool with a chicken wire surround and a heat lamp hanging from (and very well secured to) an extension cord reel from the ceiling in the garage.

The nellabrooder inspired me to building a little "goat house" mini-coop for all these chicks I hatched.

I don't want to put them inthe quarantine cage, since they'll be able to pop out of the chainlink, and I HATE feeding the tweety birds.

So, this morning I:

Took the kids on a hike
Carried Ronin on my shoulders on the mile back down the mountain
Washed the car
Clogged 3, YES THREE, vaccuums at the car wash with all the straw/hay in the back of the minivan. I need a truck.
Realized Ender doesn't actually eat the almonds in the trail mix he gets after swim lessons. I had a whole almond colony breeding under the car seats.
Stopped at that European bakery I always mean to stop at.
Bought the most delicious confections,kielbasa, and farmers cheese. Pierogis were to pricey.
Went to Home Depot
Bought wood for minicoop.
Came home, unloaded van.


The kids want to build it now, but I think they need a nap before we do any projects.

I want to come to your house to eat.
