First test

My first test in Physical science went alot better than I thought it would. I ended up getting a total grade of 90%. I'm getting ready to take another test, probably tomorrow on unit 2. Not as confident with that test as the one I took last week. I will have to stick my nose back into the books for this one.


Eric has some surgery on his nose yesterday and it was a little more intense than either of us had imagined or planned for. He seems to be doing much better today and for that I am grateful. Neither he nor I got alot of quality sleep last night, so here's to hoping we both get better sleep tonight.


Other news from here is on my step dad. He was told at his last doctor appointment that she thinks he has about three years to live. What news.......I can't even imagine being told I have a set amount of time left to live, and KNOW it. I am asking for prayers for both him and my mother. She has already been through enough and I think this will be one of the hardest yet she will deal with. Please pray for them both for encouragement and support. Thank you.

And what was I worried about....

Blake did fine on his camping trip. I don't know what I was so worried about. There were a few times he said he had some "incidents" but for the most part he had a good time and is already talking about "next year..."
I'm glad he had fun, and that it was worth it for him to go. Now for what I wasn't worried about and needed to be.... school. I started my summer class last monday. *groan* I'm not doing so hot so far and am really starting to wonder if I should drop the course. It's alot of math, conversions etc that frankly, I don't know. Poor Eric has tried to help me, but I still just don't "get it". How frustrating. I didn't think I would have to worry about converting km to miles anymore. Man, i'm not sure this was a good idea, but for now, i'm going to do my best and stick my nose deep into this book!!

My son's first church camp

I sent my son off to church camp yesterday. I was a little worried about how he would do. He has autism and I know it is very chaotic there and not alot of heads up on what they do for the day. I got a call from the camp last night asking questions about him. I'm worried that by tonight I will get a call from them telling me I need to come get him. I just want him to have fun and to learn more about the Lord. I was hoping he was old enough to be able to handle this week, but maybe it's just not a good idea for someone with his condition. I know that if he does ok, and stays the week, I will try to do more next year to get him a "buddy" that will go with him everywhere (basically like a para). I know as kids get older it's harder for the parents to let go and let them do their own thing and live their own lives, but when it's a child with a disorder or disability, I think it's alot harder. I worry if they are giving him his meds, I worry how he's handling all the noise and singing. I worry that he will get scared at night and no one will be there to comfort him. The only thing that gives me peace is the fact that there are several adults and youth there helping that he knows and that know him. Several of them told me they would watch out for him. That made me feel a little better. I have found myself doing little short prayers for him since dropping him off yesterday. Is it bad that I'm thinking about him so much? Am I a worry wart, or is this normal......*sigh*

Someone shot my cat

Can you believe it, someone so cruel as to shoot someone's pet. He's alive, and for now ok. His leg was broken in three places from a 22 caliber. I was almost sick at hearing the news from the vet. We live in a nice little community and I would have never guess that someone could be so cruel and heartless. Our hope is that he heals ok on his own, and we will be able to let him stay inside. If him and our other inside cat don't get along, we will have to put him up for adoption and find a new home for him. He is such a wonderful cat, it just makes me sick.
*sob*
