The Wings

Weird things always happen to me... and then Lukas' humor shows up...

So we are driving on Hwy 107 between Greeneville and Erwin, which is a fairly straight road, and you know what that means...we are traveling at a slightly high rate of speed...probably about 65...and out of nowhere, a bird hits the hood of my car...and I can actually see feathers sticking up over the hood....gross....
So we continue driving, talking about how weird it is that a bird would hit our car....
Morgan says, "Mom, what time is is? Hurry, we are gonna be late...."
I said, "Morgan, I am going as fast as I can...I don't have wings..."

Are you ready for this??



Lukas said..."yeah, well, except those on the front of our car!"

Needless to say, we cracked up!!!!! We actually still laugh about this!!!
Obviously he is the funny kid that has to comment on everything the teacher says....He has had all women teachers so far and they just fall in love with his humor...BUT this year, he has a male teacher...and he told me last night that the teacher was telling them to be quiet and Lukas said he piped up and said..."yeah boys, or I will have to get my paddle out" and the teacher said to Lukas..."Lukas, I'm over it, get up here and sign the discipline list".
Serves him right! I think I will email the teacher and tell him to jerk a knot in his behind and he might quit thinking he is the class clown!!!!! LOL He is taking after his uncle Tim and Anthony and his Papaw Wayland...

BUSY Life!

I am soooo busy...actually, that word wont even describe how busy...
so, I started back to school at my job and then on top of that, I am taking 2 college classes at night to begin working on my RN. I had wanted to do that for a long time, but it seems now, the time is right...so actually, I am excited about that, but I really think 2 at this time of the year was more than I could chew... that explains why I haven't posted alot in the past month! Morgan is in volleyball, in a starting position sometimes and I try to go watch her games on Thurs nights.., and of course she has practice every other night...then Lukas has his football games on Monday and practice every other night except Wednesday and Friday...Then I have class on Tues and Fri nights...and church on Wed. so that is my work week schedule...and then...Sunday is church....Saturday is usually filled with kids plans or my plans of fun...

I am taking 2 classes at night...one is in Morristown and one in Greeneville. I actually love getting to meet new people and of course I love school anyway, so just studying and attending is wonderful for me...I would truly be a student for life if I could afford it!!!! LOL As Morgan says, Momma likes to "know it ALL"...LOL The first class is Intro to Speech...I have no problem talking in front of people, so this class is actually a breeze...I teach Sunday School, I teach First Aid/CPR, I teach at my day job usually every week...so I love this class...
The next class is a developmental class! UGH! Algebra!!!!! I hated math in school, and never tried to learn it! not that I would have remembered any of it 20 years later! LOL I have spent the last 2 weeks just reviewing myself over all those math things you never use...not fun!!! But the teacher is good and I like her...we actually had a test yesterday and I am hoping for an A!
I expect nothing but A's...I know that sounds weird, but I have a confidence now that I didn't have in my earlier years...I know I can do it...When I graduated high school, I used to think I never would make it thru algebra...but unfortunately for me, I wasn't pushed by the right people and I settled for less...so now it is my turn! My turn to get the degree I always wanted! When I went to LPN school, I graduated with a 3.97 GPA...I don't want to settle for that this time...I want a 4.0...Sorry, that's just my goal...
Okay, so gotta run, Lukas coming home, gotta go get Morgan from practice, let her change clothes and it is off to church.
