School is OUT!

I am so happy! I feel like a huge weight is off my shoulders..well atleast until mid January when school starts again. I just got my grades. I have an A in my Music and Culture History class, I have a B in my Computer lab class ( a B is fine in there cuz I worked my butt off and I know I did my best). My computer teacher gave killer tests, test that I gopt C's on, but I got A's on all my labs! I got a C in my Intro to Theater Class. I would have a B, but I had a play critique to turn in. WEll I thought it was due last friday, Wrongo! It was due last Thurs. So yah, I lost 100 points on that one :(. All in all am pretty happy with my grades. I have a 3.5 GPA tgis semester and I think my cumultitive GPa is still between 3.0 and 3.5! I am glad I will only be taking 1 or 2 classes next semester! It has been so hard to get enough time to study and do my essays and labs with little kiddos, and a house to clean. So a lighter load should ensure better grades. I am not in a rush anyways. I can't transfer to ASU until all the kids are in school anyways, so I will spend the next 3-4 years getting my associates and maybe take ASU entry level classes for awhile.

I am on a baking frenzy today! I have made 4 batches of cookies and two batches of fudge (the best and easiest fudge recipe ever!)I still have 2 more batches of cookies and 2 batches of brownies to make. Then Mike, the kids and I will decorate and deliver tonight. I had a goal to actually get all my holiday cards and goodies out this year. I have half my Christmas cards out and the goodies will go out today! I feel so accomplished, lol!

Mike and I also have to detail the jeep today. We have given in and plan on selling it. We never use it anymore. It was our fun toy before we had kids. Since I have my van (That I absolutely LOVE) we are gonna sell it and get Mike a newer SUV. Wefound a '99 Isuzu Rodeo for like $5,00 on the auti trader today. I hope we can get atleats $5,000 out of the Jeep! It was a pain in the butt to wait and save for our vehicles, but it has been so nice to not have car payments. We paid off the jeep a year ago and I hateed the payment, it was almost $400 a month..ouch! So I don't mind getting an older, but still nice vehicle if it means no car payment.

We will have our Home Equity money by next Wednesday (my birthday!)I am glad about that. I am getting a new stainless steel stove! Our stove sucks! I hate that the knobs are where the kids can get them, plus the thermostat is so off by like 10 or more degrees, so nothing cooks right. It will be nice. Then we will get our wood floors (laminate ofcourse, lol!) and carpet! Oh and a new leather sectional and *drumroll* the backyard done! I so want the backyard done so the kids can go out and play. It can get boring in the house!

Well, my oven timer went off, gotta go!

The Price Family 2005 Christmas pictures!

We had these taken last week. While Emm did not smile, I was very happy that she behaved wso well the whole time. I scheduled this appointment in the morning instead of afternoonn or evening. She never whined cried and the kids didn't fight. I walked away unstressed for the first time after getting their pictures taken. It was wonderful! I cannot believe how much my kiddos have grown. It makes me feel so bittersweet to see them grow.
