Back from Novato

We went up North to visit Jose and Monica on the 4th and came back home on the 13th. We had fun getting away and relaxing somewhere other than home and had a great time. Naty kept asking me if I wanted to go do something but I was happy chilling at their house and just spending time with them. I told Naty if he wanted to do something then we could but it wasn't necessary and I was having a good time bonding with Monica. The kids were dying to see Alvin and the chipmunks so we did that right away, did some shopping, had my hair done, did some more shopping (hehehehehe) and my favorite of all we went to see some new houses that they were interested in. All I could say is, "WOW," they were sooooooooo nice! I was imagining myself in those houses and Monica made a few comments about us moving up there that it started to sound really good to me ;) Oh and Naty went to sign the book at his union in San Francisco and got a call on almost the last day we were there so he got to work one day and made a little over $900 bucks for one day! WOW! the union electricians make $50/hour up there and Naty was in total shock and love. Overall, the getaway was great and made me miss my home and appreciate it more once we got here. I was so tired on the way home that I thought I was going to knock out once I got here but instead I started putting all the Christmas stuff away and cleaning like crazy. I'm really glad to be home, aaaaaahhhhhh I love our home :)

Bubbs went back to school today and had a blast. He was so happy to go back and was done with vacation, I think he got bored and tired of hanging out all day. I'm really glad he got back into the swing of things and loves school. As for Audrey she's dying to go back to school too, she was upset that Bubbs got to go to school and she didn't. She loves playing with the other kids and loves her teachers too, I just hope this lasts for both of them, lol.

I also go back to school next week with Audrey. We're school and carpool buddies and have fun going to school together. It's just so convenient with the daycare being on campus. Oh and speaking of school I finally got my grades last week, here they are!

Stress Management.........B
Nutrition.................A
Personal Health...........A
Sociology of Gender.......A
Which puts me on the Dean's List :)

Isn't that funny that I got a B in stress management! LOL, I'll admit, that class gave me major stress! My teacher turned out to be totally cool at the end and announced that we would be the last class that she'd teach cause she was retiring. I felt bad for her cause she cried in front of the class but besides the B, I did learn a lot in her class.

Now this semester I'll be taking:

Advanced College Writing (blah, I hate english)
Concepts of Health Science
Measurements and Statistics in Health Science w/ lab
Visual Communication

My goals again are to get all A's! I'm really trying to graduate with honors, I know I could do it. I'm going to take advantage of all the help I can get with my classes. Like tutors and writing centers, I'm not going to guess my way through this semester. I'm also going to stay on top of assignments like I did about 3/4 of the time last semester. Big changes and Big hopes for this semester and actually in my personal life as well, we won't get into those.

Ok, I better put the kids in the shower. see ya

Mini Vacation to San Diego

Yes its been a while, again!

Naty has been working a lot and he decided to take us on a short mini vacation before Bubbs went back to school so we left Friday, Aug 10th and went to the zoo early that day. We stood there for a while looking at all the animals and loving the kids expressions on their faces. This is the first time for Audrey but Bubbs has been to the LA zoo with his school before. After that we went to our very small hotel room and chilled for a bit. We were right on the gaslamp district and walked to The yardhouse to eat dinner. After that we walked a little and went back to our rooms, I was burnt and hurting so we didn't walk like we wanted too. After we went to the room and Naty and Audrey knocked out fast while me, steph and Bubbs watched tv and messed on the computer. The next day we woke up, checked out, and went to the natural museum and saw all the dinosaur bones and other stuff. Then from there we went to the beach at Coronado Island and stood there till it was time to go home. It was fast but fun, it was mostly to get out and take the kids somewhere.

And Bubbs started school Monday and he's now in the 2nd grade! He's so big and growing still, the top of his head is to my mouth already, I think in about 1.5 years he'll be my height. He seems to like his new class and is really happy!
