Go Me

Yep, Im gonna brag some more. I haven't been able to check my grades online bc for some reason, my javascript isnt' working properly. So, tonight, while at my father in law's, I decided to check it. Guess what? I got four, yes FOUR 4.0's. That is 4 perfect grades. Go me! i let out a squeal when i saw those grades. And the best news is: It raised my overall GPA from a 1.35 (don't ask..that was from the "old" days when i slacked off) to a 3.019. Yes, I am ecstatic. The very best Christmas gift and I gave it all to myself. Ok, not without some help from hubby (who kept things going at home while I was at school and who pitched in to help things run smoother for me) and those who babysat during my day classes..my mom, sister and Uncle. So, it was a group effort...but initiated very much by me!

The next go me is I had a few gift items to pay forward for Christmas. So, I posted an offer on the freecycle board and I am going to help 2 families out with my meager offerings. But, these offers are going to help make their Christmases brighter and that makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside. I just love helping people and someone stop me bc I would help people til I couldn't help no more and then some. It is just one of the best feelings in the world. Trust me! It's better than any high. it's better than chocolate. This has just been such a great Christmas. And Christmas isn't even here. We were blessed, I have been able to buy for family and such and I have been able to help a few other families out. Incredible.

Christmas at my father in laws went good. The kids had a great time. They were showered with gifts. Makenneh got a baby doll that when you squeeze her one hand, she makes baby sounds and her face moves (read; bunches up, wrinkles up, etc) much like a real baby. ANd the skin on this baby feels sooo real. She also got a diaper bag for her baby, diapers, set of books, little purse full of lip glosses and girly stuff. Seb got a remote control car that does stunts, a truck that makes all kinds of noise (grrrr papa) and legos. I got a perfume set and a 50.00 visa gift card. And the funny thing is, when he called to ask for ideas, I told him I wanted a mini van, being a smart ass. So, on the top of my gift was a matchbox mini van. It was sooo cute. I love it! I am going to sit that thing here where I can see it all the time, to remind myself of the great things to come by being in college! Jeremy got a real nice sweater and then a gift card. Tomorrow we are going to his mom's, much to my dismay. Blah. But, i can suck it up for a bit. jeremy told his brother that if she starts up, we are gone, quick fast and in a hurry. LOL. I don't plan on staying long at all. I still have wrapping to do and those last min things before Santa comes. I did cheat and buy cookies today for Santa. i just won't have time for making them. Thankfully, I made cookies with the kids earlier this month, so they did have the opportunity to decorate cookies.

WEll, I am gonna get off here. I have to find time for sleep. LOL.
