Another month is gone....

Well its been almost a month since I posted again. I really need to be more diligent about posting on here!! Well we are all enrolled in school.. Jareds in High School this year (9th grade) and I am going to NWTC for my RN degree and Greg is working full time (plus overtime) at Waupaca Foundry and going to UW-Marinette full time for his Engineering degree (his work is paying for it-isnt that great?) and hes taking an EMT class. Hes got an overloaded schedule!! Hes young, he can handle it.

Well thats about all I have to say right now...

Take care :)

Is it almost September already?

I cant beleive its almost time for Jared to go back to school. He will be in HIGH SCHOOL this year. Omgosh. I started college this summer. Hoping to earn my RN degree by December 2011. I am fortunate enough to be in a contract with WI Job Service where I dont have to pay any tuition and all my classes are in Marinette. I took Chemistry (got a B), Written Communications (got an A) and CNA (got an A) this summer. This fall (started on Aug 20th) I am taking Oral/Interpersonal Communications, Biochemistry, Anatomy and Physiology, and Psychology. Not really sure this is going to be a fun semester. Chemistry kicked my bumm and Biochem isnt looking any easier.





I have finally found true love. I think at 41, its about time. Hes a great guy. I love him, my family loves him, my boys get along GREAT with him. Jared even misses him when hes gone home to Australia. His name is David and he is Australian and travels a long way to see me. Hes been here 3 times and most recently from August 10-22. He hopefully will be back in September for a while. He is laid off right now so he is able to stay for more than a couple days at a time. I miss him when hes not here.

And this is REGGIE. We adopted him from the shelter the last weekend of June. He is 3 (almost 4 in September) and hes a good boy except for one thing. Reg likes to take off and travel down Shore Dr. He doesnt look before he crosses the street and he goes from one side of the street to the other. Basically what hes telling me is.. I NEED A FENCED IN YARD. I am working on that Big Fella. We love Reggie. He is big and strong but hes a good dog... except for when he took off when David was watching him. Remember, David is from Austrailia. Not even from the US much less Marinette. He has no idea where Reggie was taking him on this tour of Marinette. I was gone to school and Jared was sleeping. It was pouring rain out side and Reg took off. David thought he had him once but Reggie managed to break free .... and break Davids finger..GRRRR... BAD REGGIE!! As I said, hes big and strong.. and very determined.

We didnt only get Reggie at the Shelter but I will save that for next time.....

Have a great day!!

A New Beginning......

Well... heres to new beginnings. I dont even know where to start. As you may or may not know... Dave and I have decided to divorce. Its really the best thing for all involved. I have been unhappy for years and since I'm not getting any younger... its time to make some changes. Some minor.. some extreme.

Divorce being one major change and the second is:

I am going to start taking better care of myself and that means... Losing weight. I will keep you posted on how that goes... wish me luck. I have started mall walking every morning with my neighbor Mellissa but I didnt stretch properly and now I have shin splints.. I think. So, I have to take the weekend off and do it right next week!!

I lost custody for Frack, our cat.... sad sad day!!! We still have Smoke (Katies cat) living with us til she goes away to college and can have him with her......

But Greg adopted an adorable puppy, Brooks from the Shelter.

Isnt he sweet? Hes such a good puppy!! Very active. Hes a Black Lab/????? mix. Hes potty training nicely but hes ALOT of work. Guess whos doing most of the work? Yep.. umemployed Mom. Good thing hes cute. Jared helps alot. Gregs gonna move back in next week and then he will be helping out alot more.

I am going to try to update my blog regularly so keep checking back!!
