Psychology......I hate the subject. I mean why do we have to learn all about these dead guys, and their views on why we eat food, sleep, poop, and why we think what we think? Honestly I am only taking this because I need it to graduate. Ok the other reason why I don't like the course is because we have to share the course with the Police Foundations people. Not that they are bad people or anything, but they are so loud and obnoxious. In my class we have 3 exams worth 20% each, an assignment worth 30%, and participation worth 10%. The participation I have in the bag for sure. My first exam I got 60%. My second exam I got 48% (which I will be rewriting on Monday afternoon). And my third exam is on Friday. So here it is. I officially suck when it comes to understanding shit from dead guys.
But on a brighter note, I finished my volunteer training for the women's shelter. I have a certificate stating that I completed 28 hours on violence against women and children. I will be volunteering in the children's room. I think it will be fun.
Also I completed my CPR and First Aid....barely...lol...Yes that is another exam I failed. We were suppose to get nothing less than 70%, and of course I got a 68%. But he said that he would excuse the people in my class who would have a language barrier, due to the fact that the teacher spoke really fast. Well when I picked up my exam I asked him if I had to rewrite it. He asked me where I was from. So I told him I was from Toronto, and he said that I didn't have to rewrite it. Wow....can we say judgemental......

Anyways that's all for now.....I hope this week I start doing better in school.....I really need my grades to get better.....Maybe next time I will be on the honour roll.....(yeah right)....LOL

This Must Have Been Learned in School

So after work today I was sitting on the couch minding my own business, when something flew by my face and landed on the ground. Quickly I blamed my husband for annoying me. But as I looked closer to what the thing was I realized it was a wadded up piece of toilet paper that had been wet at one point. So my husband and I came to the conclusion that Mr B wet a piece of toilet paper and stuck it to the ceiling. Yes we thought it was funny at that moment. Saying that we would talk to him in the morning. Until I had to use the bathroom. As I sat there (on the phone with my sister) (yes we are close) LOL I glanced up and realized that there were 3 more balls of toilet paper on our ceiling. I'm telling you there is never a dull moment in my house lately.

After confronting Mr B, we told him that he had to clean the ceiling up. In which he answered.......Do I have to clean up the upstairs bathroom ceiling too?........LOL.....When I went upstairs I realized the wadded up toilet paper balls were everywhere.....

Little Miss Mullet

Well I have been wanting to tell this one since Thursday, but our computer has been down. So here it is.....
It all started when we got home from school/work/babysitters, I was in the kitchen getting supper ready, and the kids were quiet. I should have noticed something was going on because they were getting along. All of a sudden Mr B comes running into the kitchen and places a pair of scissors down on the counter. I looked at him and asked why they were in the living room, he shrugged his shoulders and went back to the living room. Then Little Missy comes into the kitchen opens the garbage and precedes to throw some ball type substance in it. When I took this substance from her to find out what it was I realized that it was hair. My first thought was "the dog". But then I took a closer look and realized that Little Missy was missing a patch of hair on the top and side of her head. Knowing that her ringlets will be lost forever. I stood in the kitchen speechless. And Mr B ran up into his room crying. I repeated to myself  "I will be laughing about this in a few days" I repeated that over and over, trying to convince myself that it was a thing that happens and it was funny. Needless to say when Mr B was asked about why he cut her hair, his response was simple....."She asked me to".

So after taking Little Missy to the salon to try to fix it, I told the hairdresser "Do whatever you can to fix it, just don't give her a mullet". Not realizing that the hairdresser has a mullet. And all she could do was give her a mullet. So now I keep reminding myself that her hair will grow back soon. I hope this makes you laugh, I try to make myself laugh when I think about it. You see this is something that happens at my sisters house, not mine. LOL

Before The final Cut After The Final Cut

This weekend I had planned a stagette to Niagara Falls for my bestest friend M. She is getting married in April, and I am honoured to be in the wedding. There are 11 of us ladies going. The schedule is dinner at 6:30pm, Casino after, Club at 11:30 or so. I found that planning this was hard. (I would fail travel and tourism class for sure). But finally after all my research, I think I did OK. Although I don't think my old body will be able to handle the liquor as in my younger days. But I will try, and hopefully pull it off.........LOL........But I must say M has some really amazing friends. Everyone has chipped in and helped me plan this weekend, and for that I am very thankful.
But I am also thankful for my wonderful husband who has taken the weekend to do fun things with the kids. And promised not to phone me unless it's an emergency!
But with me going away I know I'll miss the kids like crazy, even though I joke about wanting to run away somewhere in the Caribbean, that's just frustrated words. And honestly I think that I will be the one phoning home all the time.
That's my cheesy note for today.....I really wanted to talk about the crazy things my kids do, but lately they have kinda been boring...LOL....Sorry R & C....I will get crazy another day for your amusement....lol

Knowledge is Power!!

School, it has been challenging yet somehow I have been excelling. We are into our ology's. Sociology, Criminology, and the next 4 weeks it's Psychology. Sociology sucked!!! Criminology was OK. And Psychology I'll let you know when I start it.
As stupid as these courses may seem, I need them to graduate. Although since starting the CSW course I have learned so much about myself. Everything seems to be based on perception, non-judgemental attitudes, and self awareness. So needless to say I am trying to sponge everything in. Not only to get a certificate for a better paying job, but for my own understanding of how I work, and how I see the people I love.

I am getting a little stresses though. I am hearing people at my school talk about how they had such hard times getting the career management lady to help them find placements. I really hope I don't have that problem.

Although I have heard some shady stuff about the lady that runs the show. She use to own a chef college and ran it into the ground. She lost everything and came running to my school to run it. Crap.....That makes me worry too. I just hope she doesn't ruin it until I graduate. LOL

So this is my school garbage. I am working really hard to graduate and get a higher paying job, so that my husband can go back to school and we can both be educated.

knowledge is Power!!!

Think for a Moment

I learned a really important lesson last week.....This makes me feel so thankful for the support and love I have in my life.....

Think for a moment.......

Get three pieces of paper and write three most important things in your life....They can be tangible or not......One on each piece of paper.....

Now close your eyes and think of one that you are willing to give up......

Think about how that makes you feel......

Now close your eyes and think of the last two things you have.....Now give one of them up.....

Think about how that makes you feel......

Now close your eyes and give up the last item you have.....

Think about how that makes you feel......

Now picture an abused women having to give those things up to be able to be in a safe enviroment.....

We take things for granted in life and need to be thankful for what we have.....
