Pretty Great day!

I had a pretty darn good day today. This morning I got up early, 7:30ish. Got dressed and went out with my friend Candy. We ended up at Scrap n Stuff early, so we sat and had a coffee/drink at the coffee shop next door and we got to speak to a friend of mine (maria) that was there as well.

Once the scrapbook store opened, I got to shop and talk to some ladies. Maria introduced me to a stampin up consultant that does hostess clubs...I am now joined up, been looking for one for almost 2 years. Woo hoo! More fun and scrapbooking/stamping.

Anyhow, after Scrap n Stuff, we headed over to pictures in time, then over to JoAnn's. Got some great stuff on sale.

After swinging by the scrap stores, we headed over to Candy's house for coffee and a chat. It was a nice break from the kids and hum drum everyday life.

I left Candy's near 2pm, then came home to relax for awhile. 5ish, Mary came over to Scrapbook with me, stayed for two hours...she can't sit very long, because of hip/back pain. Then shortly after Mary left, Candy came over to scrapbook with me, have some coffee and some Irish cream. We both got tired and then she left around 1am. I enjoyed my day very much.

I am thankful for this relaxing and fun day...best Saturday I have had in a long time. I luff my friends berry mooch!

Vet Tech?

Ok, I have been searching for info on Penn Foster Schools (Online School). I want to sign up for their Associates Degree Course for Veterinary Technician. The cost is minimal in my opinion for a Vet Tech. Under $1000 for classes and tests and such.

I talked to my husband and he would prefer me to get my Associates Degree and become a vet tech, even though vet tech's essentially make the same amount of money as pharmacy tech's...which was the other option I was thinking about.

So, I am needing input, do i find a college and attend it to become a vet tech, or do I go the cheap route and sign up with Penn Foster Schools for under $1000?

I just have so many questions, like how do you get the experience nessesary to become a vet tech by doing online classes? I just don't understand completely how it will all work.

Any advice would be appreciated.

**I also wanted to add that I wanted to specialize in Avian care.

Christmas Day

Christmas day was kinda laid back. I was very thrilled when my dear husband called and we all got to speak to him, that was a great present to me. Christina, Jeremiah and the kids came over for turkey around 3pm. Stayed a few hours then went home because my sister was tired. I was majorly sad/lonely and bored by 7:30/8pm. I asked dad to go to the movies with me...he said no, he didn't want to. I asked the boys....they said they didn't want to go. I was going to go by myself to a late movie, around 9:45pm...but then got scared to got out at night by myself. Not fearful of going, but fearful of getting robbed or killed in the mall parking lot after the movie let out near 11 at night. So, I groveled in my own loneliness on myspace, lol, while dad watched boring TV programs in the living room.

I was kind resentful of him not wanting to go with me, and then the kids not wanting to go either. I felt like I needed to do something, I felt like the walls were closing in on me, the holidays and my husband being gone were/are getting to me. And of course, when you need people to be there for you the most...they usually aren't. I was gonna see a movie I wanted to see sometime soon with someone, but they made plans with someone else...anyone want to see Sweeney Todd with me? I sure can't take the kids to that one.

Anyhow, only 5 months and 10 days to go til my hear husband comes home. I am considering looking into a job, but I don't want to work for a under 11-12 dollars an hour...or I can start ebaying again. I need to do something to help out...especially if we are gonna put the boys in private school, we will see. I am also going to look into doing phone work from home. Any how, that is enough of my rambling for today, thanks for reading this far, ;-).
