Living in Savannah

Has Tuesday really been the last day I journaled here? I'm behind on it and reading others so be patient :)

*Warning this entry may not make a whole lot of sense *

I'm suffering from a lovely head cold. I did all the "right" things, drink my daily dose of Vitamin C, take my vitamins, wash my hands very good, etc but those germs still find a way to invade my body!  School is going pretty good, there just aren't enough hours in the day anymore, lol like I had enough before huh? I passed my psychology test with a B,woo for me, since only 12 people out of 30 passed the darn thing. Yes it was a bit hard! I got an A on my first English essay. Now we have to do an argumentative one that is due at the end of next month complete with a project AND we have to stand in front of the class and present it. High school days flashed before my eyes! Thankfully my class is made up of mainly students who are, shall we say, a little bit older than HS age? :)  I have 2 math test this week, ugh.  I went to Keith Urban Friday night and oh my goodness not only does that man look fine he can really play a guitar! It was such a good concert. Come to find out earlier that day he had ridden his harley up to Tybee! AHHHH,lol   It was a fun time with my 2 friends though and we even went out after and got an appetizer at a bar/grill called Locos. mmmm potato skins! Yesterday was spent vegging instead of cleaning the house like I was suppose to since my head felt like it weight at least a ton. I did get the floors mopped, yah for me.

Off to make some banana nut muffins and then church. Yes I know I still haven't put up the greek festival pics from last week, I will I promise! lol

The nice chill of fall came and left....its now humid and will be in the high 80s again. I know, shouldn't complain but I really was having fun wearing my sweaters for 2 days,lol

I have a psychology test today, math test tomorrow and a english test on Friday. Thats all I'm saying on that subject,lol

We had a blast at the Greek festival on Saturday. I'll post pictures later of it since my camera isn't cooperating with me this morning! The food was heavenly, gyros, greek salad, baked macaroni with yummy spices and so much more. My favorite of course is the baklava, a greek dessert that is so good! They even had traditional greek dancers entertaining you while you ate with music.

We've been invited to a Halloween party by one of my friends on the 30th. We'll get there after we take the kids trick or treating. Dressing up is optional so Ben wants to get into the spirit of things so we'll see what we can come up with. We have an idea but I'll tell ya later :)  This is the first time in about 3 years that he will be able to go trick or treating with us since he was either working or deployed. He won't be able to do alot of the walking but can follow us with the truck :)

Keith Urban is coming to Savannah THIS Friday and guess who has tickets to go? Oh yes me! 2 of my friends and I will be in attendance. The tickets were cheap and we actually go them on the floor.

Have a great Tuesday!

Continued prayers for our soldiers who are deployed. May they all come home safely!

Good Saturday morning everyone. I woke up to a chilly 45 degrees outside! Yesterday felt so very good outside. I know it won't last long for Monday brings in warmer temps again. Well I made it through my second week of school, whew! I passed by Math test with a high B and my English test with an A :)  Tuesday I have a psychology test, remembering all those terms are so much fun <enter sarcasam> Yes its very hard juggling school, housework and kids activites, but thankfully Ben has been wonderful helping as much as he can. He goes back to the doctor for his followup xrays this next week. So far so good!

 I've watched the news on and off and been praying even harder for Nathan. He is in Fallajuh, my step sisters son. I need to call mom to see if she's heard anything. Prayers for all the soldiers and that they can come home safely and soon! 

 Today is the Greek festival in Savannah....Caitlin's good friend, Teresa, and her family help with the food every year and this will be Caitlin's 2nd year helping. She cleans up tables and gets tips for it. Shes looking forward to it and I'm looking forward to the yummy food. I'll try to take some pics and share later.

Thanks again for all the wonderful comments you all have left me. I know somehow it will all work out :)

Where did the weekend go? I officially finished my first week of classes, only 9 more to go! lol  English and Math are actually going good, mainly a review of things right now and I have a test in each of them on Wednesday. Psychology is kicking my butt! 2 hours of psych homework and my brain feels numb....neurons, neurontransmitters, brain functions etc. I vaguely remember doing this back in High School...eons ago so its familiar its just remembering.

Saturday was spent cleaning ( I seriously need to get some kind of a new routine!) and going to yard sales. We picked up a few bargains so thats always fun. Then that night our neighbors was having Karoke night (they do this from time to time) and dragged us over there. I am NOT a singer but it was fun and felt good to just relax a bit and be silly. Going to church yesterday made me feel so much better about a few decisions that we have made. Everything happens for a reason and I know He has a plan for us. I'll go into our final decision later in another entry, we may have to twik it here and there.

Today is Columbus day. I remember when I was in school we had that day off. Here in Georgia they go to school that day. Isn't it an observed holiday? Maybe thats just for banks and postal workers :)

My prayers go out to Christopher Reeves family. He passed away yesterday. He will always be Superman in my book and I was sad to hear this news. I could always picture him being able to walk again, he had such determination and so inspiring. He will be missed.  Go check out Robbie's beautiful tribute to him - http://journals.aol.com/krobbie67/RobbiesRantsRaves/

Thats it for now here in rainy coastal Georgia, have a great Monday :)

Oh is anyone watching Desperate Housewives? I love that show!

Life can be very interesting at times. Yesterday I started school and thankfully I arrived early since I knew I needed to get my books. For some reason you couldn't get them early so I waited in line for an hour, ugh, and had 15 minutes to spare to make it to my first class, math. The teacher comes in and he says that he has 30 students in this class and the room can only handle 20 so we signed in and he dismissed us. Yes that happened AGAIN today thats why I'm home right now since I have 2 hours in between. English I had an assignment and Psychology I had some reading. Should be a very interesting couple of months!

I get home yesterday and Ben tells me that he has to go to Ft. Stewart to take care of some paperwork about our possible move to Italy. We hop in the truck and when we get there they are telling him it could either be Italy or Germany. They don't know yet. Also if he gets a doctor to sign saying it wouldn't be advisable for him to go overseas that would be considered having a P 3 profile, which is a permanent profile and it means they would discharge him from the military. We don't want that I just want him better before he goes. So after answering some questions we're still not sure if we will be leaving or not since he doesn't have enough time left on this contract to go over there. They could go ahead and send him and then have him reinlist over there, who knows at this point. Also the majority of the time soldiers who have been getting Germany end up going to Iraq! It's still wait and see and he should be getting more info today hopefully.

Tonight the boys have cub scouts, thats always a fun time and I've been helping Matthew's webelo leader with the boys.

Have a great Tuesday and continued prayers for our soldiers!
