Just a rambly update post

The weather has been so beautiful here lately, which is a welcome change after the freezing cold weather we had in November. I can't even express how happy I am to be able to take my kids outside to run around. I'm sure my tenant who lives in the basement is equally happy that I can take my kids outside to run and jump and be orangutans.
We went to the Zoo on Tuesday with a couple friends from our homeschooling group and it was SO lovely. We didn't actually see any animals, though...we spent all our time playing on this big hay pile and in a maze that they have set up for ZooLights. Oh well, that's the beauty of passes to the zoo!

I am *thisclose* to being finished Biology100!!!!! Holy fuck I can't wait. I will soon be done with this course and I'll never have to do it ever again! Woowoo! My final exam is on Sunday. I took my midterm about 3 weeks ago but it still hasn't been graded. The paranoid side of me is scared that it got lost in the mail on it's way to Utah...I think I might die if that's the case. I have no idea what my school will even do if it gets lost....guess I should check that out.

My goal to get Midwives Assistant and Medical Terminology finished by the end of December was a pretty lofty one...I'm pretty sure it's not going to happen. I'm still going to try, but I think that a goal of finishing them by the end of January might be more feasible. That puts me slightly off-track of my major map, but c'est la vie. Full time school with 3 kids, a gibbled partner and life in general is just a little bit (ok a LOT) insane lol

Speaking of thisclose...I'm almost done my Christmas shopping. I have a couple more people to get small things for, but other than that I am done like dinner. hooray for that! We're going to have a Yule/Solstice celebration on the 21st before we leave on the 22nd to Kelowna. I am so happy Jesse finally agreed to do that...he wanted to cart all our family gifts to Kelowna to open on Christmas Day, then cart them back home. Uh, no thank you!

I suppose I should get off the net, put this boy sleeping in my arms to bed and crack the books...
