Fear

My one big fear about my son being in Boy Scouts is when he leaves for summer camp. Is he going to be ok? Is he going to come back to me?

I ask these of myself every year when summer camp comes around. The reasons why? I remember once on vacation visiting Yellowstone Park. After watching 'Ol Faithful, we decided to eat lunch in the vehicle as a big rain storm broke out. As we were there, lighting struck the platform (where people watch the geiser) later I found out that a Boy Scout died after being struck by lighting.

A few years later, a Boy Scout summer camp was devastated by tornadoes.

My son got back safe and sound this year on Monday night. Today I read a news release about a Nevada Boy Scout drowning! My heart sunk!!! He disappeared while scuba diving, and was found 30 minutes later.

Yes, I know the scouts are teaching my son many things, but it is still the fear that accidents happen!

My blessings go to family and troop today.

Economic Value Added EVA

This is the subject that I had to write about tonight, 750 words, and have it done by 10pm. The teacher only talked about this yesterday! Luckily I had already done the other classes assingment, so I could concectrate on this one. So it is written and posted on the class discussion board area. Now I have until Sunday to reply to two of my fellow classmates. Make that 4, two in each class.

But right now I am going to go and read some of the textbook in Advanced Accounting.

Later all!

Going from EVA to Partnerships.... wheeeeeee!!!!!!!! hehehe

walking to and from work!

I LOVE LIVING IN TOWN AND CLOSE TO WORK!!! I walked home yesterday. Then I also walked to work this morning!!! I have driven it, the distance is 8/10 of a mile! If I walk the other way and visit the market it is 1.1 miles! Oh, something I am going to have to buy when I get the extra funds?? NEW SHAPE-UPS!!! This poor shoes are coming apart at the seams, at least the left shoe is! hahahaha

Sunday

Oh I am missing my son today. He has been gone for 8 days!! It is hard, but knowing that he is with the boy scouts makes it a little easier than when he goes to his dads. It is funny to think that the leaders at scouts know him better than his own dad!

Acutally I have been doing lots of missing today - my boy, my dogs, my cats, my rats and even my fish!!!! this coming week we are going to work on the fence and get it fixed up so that we can bring the dogs over. Next week dad is going to be gone for a few days and if we dont have the cats here by then, we will get them here then.

I have been so scratter brained today that I got some school work done but not much.... I have a 5 slide power point due tomorrow, as well as a 2 page paper. YIKES!! Looks like I am going to be sneaking school work in at work tomorrow!! OH and the boy scouts are coming home tomorrow!!! YEAH my boy will be home tomorrow!!!! probably not until really late! But he will be here!!

Anyway, off to get some work done.... :)

Blessed be all!

okay

Okay okay I have not been good about posting daily! been busy the last few days. mmoved in more furniture this evening, and tomorrow we are gonig to try the couch... wish us luck!!!

my infection is better the swelling has gone way down!

Later all
Blessed Be!!

oh joy

It feels like a Monday, even though I know it is Wednesday. Had Monday off from work, but called in sick yesterday. Oh this past weekend was bad.... for the past couple of weeks I have had a salivary gland stone that would not come out, well Thursday the gland decided to start swelling up. So I started the heat packs and massaging the gland. But it was not good, by Saturday I had a huge lump under my jaw, and it HURT to eat - chew, swallow. I had to basically put myself on a smoothie and liquid diet. Sunday, the inside of my mouth started swelling, it was so not good!! Woke up Monday and decided enough was enough, called and the walkin clinic was open. As I did not have a vehicle, I called a good friend and she came and took me. The nurse practitioner there said about the same as the doctor said the last time - hot/warm compress, try to milk (be rubbing and massaging the gland) and gave me an antibiotic. I slept so much that day!! And yesterday, I slept more then usually, but today, is the first day that I woke and did not feel the inside of my mouth swelled up. So I guess that I will try to go to work. I have to remember to take my heat pad, and my liquid drinks... now off to make a smoothie to get my day started.
Oh, and tonight I have two esssay due!! OH JOY!!!

friday at last... does my work load stop??

NO!

first let me say that I am totally upset! this morning before walking to work I typed up a blog but there was a glitch and it did not post.... no time to re-do as I did not know how long it would take to walk to work, as this was only the 2nd night in the house.

Anyway, yep I walked to work, it was a beautiful morning!! got to work with 5 minutes to spare... early? when I am usually like 5 minutes late! hahaha go figure!

after work today had to get the boy all packed up for boy scout camp, even though they are not leaving until 5 tomorrow morning. of course he was not ready!! he was about 80% or so... I did have to start putting things in the duffel bag with many threats about staying there if he was not ready and working his hiney off pulling the jungle of weeds (I should take a picture tommorow of the nevada jungle).

Anyway got him packed and down to load the trailer, now we are ready to settle in the new house for night #3 and wake up early to take him to meet the scouts at 445am.

So I am signing off and will update tomorrow, after I catch more zzzz's
