Well we made it to our last week of school for this term. I am so glad this term is over. Between school,kids and moving I am exhausted! I only hope I get a good grade on both of my papers, because I found myself slacking. I didn't slack because I wanted to I just had so much going on. I did try to do my best though. Good luck to all of my fellow classmates in your future courses.

Well we finally have the new house ready to move into. Thank god. I didn't think I was going to make it. Taking care of two houses, three children and also going to school has really wore me down. Moving tomorrow and I can't wait.

Hello everyone. Well my son's party went off like a blast. The party turned out way better than I thought. We all sang karaoke and danced all night. At some point I believe the parents had more fun than the kid's, but then they all loosened up. I think they thought if our parent's can make fools out of themselves why couldn't,t they? Now we have graduation on Sunday and I will have to take a whole box of Kleenex because this is bitter sweet for me. My baby is graduating and I'm proud of him, but sad for myself. I will make it though I'm very proud of him.

I am really tired of the rain. We just bought a new house and we can't move in the rain. Today I go to my basement and there is about six inches of water. What else can happen? Today is my middle son's 16th birthday. Wow that makes me feel old. Saturday night is my oldest son's graduation party, boy am I ready for that to be over with. I guess I have to go help a friend that owns a cleaning business go clean out a basement. Wonder if I can get her over here to clean mine? I have ton's of stuff to do today. Glad I had time to drop a few lines. Have a good week or weekend.

First graded blog!!

I love being an online student. I tried to go to a local college in my town,but it didn't work for me. I didn't have the time to spend with my family like I wanted to. Being an online student gives me the flexibility to be able to work at my own pace (some what) and still be with my family. My family is my first priority so if I didn't have the flexible schedule I wouldn't be this far into my schooling! I will graduate in 2011 and it has really flown by so far. I love having the live seminars it helps me learn like I'm in a actual classroom. I hope you all get what you need out of this class. I also wish you all luck in your future goals and success!!!

I made it to Friday!!!! Yippie!!

Wow I made it to Friday without having a mental breakdown!! I am almost finished with my school work for this week. The final preperations for Bryan's graduation party are coming under way!! I'm loving that part. I told my kid's that it was a good thing I spaced them out,because after this party I would have to sale some kids to pay for it, if I had another party around the corner. They didn't see the humor in it like I did. LOL!! I'm glad Bryan is a senior Skyler is a Freshman so I have a few years to plan. Brookelynn will be a freshman When Skyler is a senior so it worked out great for us. My fieance and I are thinking about saling our house and buying a new one all this in one week. I told him how much do you think one person can take. He told me you will be okay you always are your a strong person. He said anyone who could have a child at 14 and raise him by herself and is about to see him graduate highschool is a very strong women. I had to kiss him for that one. I haven't yet figured out if he was just buttering me up for something,or if he really meant it. But he made my day so I guess I'll let it slide!! I am really looking forward to this weekend,because today is Cameron and I's 6 year anniversary (ya I don't know if we will ever get married)but why fix something that isen't broken right? Well I guess I have gabbed enough. Have a good weekend to all of you!!

Hello everyone!!

Hi my name Is Jessica Nichols. I live in a small town in Illinois. I have three children, Bryan is 18, Skyler will be 16 in May and Brookelynn is 11 1/2. They keep me pretty busy. Between getting ready for Bryan's graduation and Skyler's baseball games I'm glad I am a stay at home mom or I don't know when I would have time to do my school work. Brookelynn has yet to find a sport that interests her. I'm trying to talk her into going out for cheer leading or show choir next year. I guess I will have to wait and see. I am looking forward to reading some of my classmates posts,and good luck to all of you in your classes.

Wow I made it through Monday!!

I don't know about you, but I do believe we should be able to skip Monday's. They are always the hardest day of the week, and drag so bad for me. I had to take the kids to the dentist first thing in the morning. Then when we got there my heater in my van wouldn't stop running, even when the van was off. My son had to pull the fuse so the battery wouldn't run down. Later in the day I had to help my daughter with her homework in between trying to do mine,cook supper and run to my son's baseball game. By the time eight o'clock got here I was pooped and ready for bed. But guess what of course I couldn't sleep AT ALL. So here it is Tuesday and I do believe I'm walking around half asleep. Mondays just wear me down and I want to skip straight into Tuesday's from now on. Don't see that happening.

Another crappy day!!

Well it is Saturday and it's raining again. I have no kids this weekend and wanted to do some stuff outside. I don't think thats going to happen. I guess I will just get together with some friends and go listen to a band tonight. I hope there are some good ones playing. I'm also waiting on news from a good friend telling me that the new addition to their family is here. Her water broke at 10p.m. last night and still no Lexi. Can't wait to meet her! What a joy new babies are.
