This semester I took two classes for school. I took information systems & speech. What an easy load. It's like feast or famine. One semester I took Econ & Acct 2 in one semester. I thought I was going to gouge my eyes out that semester. But this semester was a super easy load for me. God must have known that there was going to be too much going on in my life for me to take a hard load. I was doing beautifully until all these hospital visits became necessary. I have yet to see how I faired in Information Systems, let's just say that it was a good thing that I had an A in there before this past month. I'm pretty certain that I will pass. But the GREAT news of the day was my grade for speech. I made an A. Now many of you probably aren't too surprised by that. I definitely don't fear speaking in front of people, but I didn't turn in 2 assignments. When I told my professor about the family health issues that had been going on & that is why I didn't turn in my assignments (I was just letting her know) she let me turn them in AFTER my final. Plus one of my speeches (the one that was worth more points) I researched & prepared for in 1 day. Not only did I make an A, but I had to give 2 speeches and I made a 98 & 96 respectively on them. I WAS SOOOOOOO HAPPY, I called my mom right away to tell her. She knew how much I was stressing about my grade. I was stressing a bit about my speech because I just felt so unprepared, but I hated the idea of not making an A in that class.

Grandpa is still in the hospital. They moved him back from Columbia on Monday. Now he is in rehab. Mom thinks that they are o/d - ing him. So she talked to the doctors today and told them to slow down on the pain killers. She also told them, that she would give them one week to work with him & then she was taking him home. You go mom. I know Grandma & Grandpa would both be happy to have him home. The doctors are also saying that he will probably be on dialysis indefinitely.

Tonight Cody had his Christmas band concert. He is in "preband". They make them take preband before they hand over real instruments to them. It was cute. Brayden enjoyed hearing the band just as much as Cody enjoyed being a part of it. We also ordered Cody's Trombone. He's super excited about. I hope he keeps it up. I'm all about having well rounded children. I wish I had stuck with an instrument. I never was in band, but I did take piano lessons for awhile. I wish I could have stayed with it. I would like to know now how. That's really the only instrument I was ever interested in. At the end of the concert the band directed said, "Have a Merry Christmas, I'm pretty confident that I can say that here." She got applause. You go band director!

Were you in band? Did you or do you play an instrument?
