Hello everyone! I have not been here for a while. I kind of fell off of the map for a bit. I started my college classes in January and I have been very busy ever since. Things at school are going great though. I am taking five classes and I have an A average in all of them. The kids and Keith are doing pretty good. The twins are in daycare now and it is such a big load off of my shoulders to have some quiet time to study and get my homework done.
My mama is doing alright and my aunt is hanging in there. They both went and got their hair done this past week. That was a big feat. Mama said that my aunt seems to be feeling a bit better. It is good to hear this.
So how is everyone else doing?

@Shellyann36 I got my degree in my mid 30s so I do understand.

@BelleStarr Honestly it is so much easier now than it was in my 20's. I guess being an "adult" really does matter.

Things are going fine with me too. I wondered where you have been, and now I know. It is good to see you again. By the way, mylot has a new site that is running along side the old one, and I can suggest it to you, if you would like to check it oug. It loads faster and eventually, the old site will be removed, and only the new one will be availabel.

The app site? I thought it was just so that you could get to it on a smartphone or tablet. I did not realize they were going to do away with this one... I will take the link please.

@Shellyann36 It haS been suggested to you already, as it is a discussion thet @MyLotBugs had written, explaining the site. If you want to look it up though yoursefl, go to new.mylot.com and that will take you right to the new site, and you will really like it. I use it exclusively. I have pisoted from my iPhone, and it is so great, as I don't have to zoom in and out with the new site, where as the old one I did. The new site runs right along side the old one as the old one hasn't been removesd yet, but it time it will be.

Hey Now!!! Nice seeing you again. I am fine, thank you. Things have been going okay, I cannot complain. We all have to do what we have to do. I know you probably missed being here as much. But that is life. Hopefully you will get more time to be here now.

Ugh Math is my bad subject. My class is one of those fast track classes and I take my exam on the 24th. I am hoping to get a tutor on Monday and get some studying in with them.
Nah my aunt's liver is shot. If she does not take the glucose every day she gets real sick and has even gone into a coma once. She is hanging on though.

My heart goes out to both your mom and aunt @Shellyann36 naturally to you as well, but I figure this is hardest on those two. I'll keep all of you in my prayers, for your Aunt I'm praying she does not suffer.

Thank you. If I had this determination for good grades when I was younger I could have gotten a lot further in life.

@paigea Age makes a difference in so many things. If we only realized it when we were young!

@Shellyann36 I know the feeling. I was lucky enough to be sent to school for a year by my employer and I worked very hard that time!

@Shellyann36 Being a dental hygienist will pretty much always ensure that you will have a job. My niece went to school for it and she loved it.

It is quite a bit and I must admit that the housework is rarely done the right way. But my education is worth it.

@mysdianait yes Spring is right around the corner. The trees and flowers will begin their beautiful displays and the crickets and frogs will add music to the day. Glad things are going well for you.

I didn't realize you'd started college classes, that's a big investment and major decision too. I took three classes a few years ago, and even though my kids are grown up, I was still working both jobs, that was plenty for me.

It takes a lot of effort. My hardest classes so far are Biology and Algebra. My Algebra final is on Wednesday. That will be one load off of my shoulders. I am trying to figure out if I want to go during the summer semester. I am just not sure yet. Hope you are doing alright. @MarshaMusselman

Wow, great job on your grades! I've been pretty busy this week, so much so that I decided to skip the party tonight--it was the one thing I could let slide, so I opted to just relax, instead.
