I have been really busy with my homework lately. It's pretty insane actually. I just had a Meet and Greet at the College of Nursing I'll be attending in January. I have to finish all these prereqs though. I have to work my butt off to stay at the top. It's so not easy and honestly I am so tired of doing prereqs. I just want to get to the nursing stuff already.

Anyway I'd like to give you all ONE more chance to enter my giveaway for a Digital Photo Album. These things are great and make great gifts. Just leave a comment here:

Tweet it, etc. Whatever. Read the post for options on additional entries. I'll be selecting a winner this week!

The Halloween pics! I love Halloween. I love posting pictures too. So it's a win win for me. I have been studying like mad. I am nearing the end of this semester and two of my classes are like double classes. Everything is done several chapters at once. There is triple the homework. Add this onto my daily life of caring for four (yes four) kids and a hubby, not to mention all my other classes and trying to get the planning and financial stuff done to start Nursing College in January I am slightly stressed. Halloween was a nice break. I met some nice new people. I had a great party and it was fun getting to know everyone I didn't know and visiting with good friends.

Do not forget to enter the giveaway for the digital photo album. The link is right there at the top of this page in the little box links at the top. See it? Enter my giveaway, right up there? Just leave me a comment to enter! It's so easy. Come on folks.


Here's a couple of extra pics for your enjoyment.

I have a seriously awesome giveaway going on folks. We need some entries here. I am pretty sure I linked it at the top of this page. Look for it. Got it? Ok. Remember that and go enter when you are done reading this post.

I have been of course busy as usual with classes and all that jazz. I have a lot of work to do and things are in full swing right now. I just started my English Composition class on top of all the other ones I was already doing. However yesterday I was feeling pretty good. I decided to swing through McDonalds on my way and grab a "hot, nonfat, mocha". Yes I love those things. As long as they are made right. I must stress more than once I have ran through and drank bitter crap. I am never happy when that happens. Anyway they actually made me pull forward to wait for my medium mocha. Seriously.

However it took only about 4 minutes tops and the guy comes out looking sort of down and goes to hand me my drink, he looks up, looks noticeably surprised, stumbles over some words then tells me I'm really beautiful. Ha! I blushed, said thank you and enjoyed the rest of my day. :)

It's kind of a lazy day too. I did some homework and read a little but I am not into it at all. I need to focus.

My daughter Gabbi is really talking a lot these days. I have taught her to hold up two fingers and say two. I love it when asked how old they are little kids do that. So I thought better teach her now before she is 2. She absorbs everything like a sponge. I taught her in a few seconds. She says 2 and holds up two fingers on each hand. So I went a step further and taught her it was also 1+1. So now if you ask Gabbi what is 1+1 she holds up two fingers and yells "TWO!"

What a genius baby.

Also please vote for me. This is totally based off popular vote so it's completely possible. The problem is the chick in the first place slot has like over 3000 votes. I have about 249. I have a ways to go. Still, that is a lot of votes and I have you all to thank. Thank you so much!!!

Be sure to read my update on my dad below. Things have been so somber on my blog lately that I thought it was time to do a giveaway. I don't make mine hard.

If you want extra entries go ahead and tweet this, then link me to your tweet. Add me to your blog roll for another entry. Or if you want, grab my ad here and link it to my blog.


Take your pick. Do one, do all. Just tell me which you did in a comment and show me where I can find them because you know, I can't give credit it if you're not telling me the truth! haha

Now let's get to the point. What am I giving away? It's a digital photo album. These things are awesome. I have one at home and the hubby has one on his desk at work. These things make great gifts too. Let me just list what it says on the box.

Honestly things are at a standstill. The surgery went well. The medicines seem to be doing the job. He has some relief and is breathing better. He has a tube draining fluid out of his liver. I wish I could actually speak to his doctor to know the details. I get this information from my mom who honestly doesn't understand anything medical at all. I have not been able to go see my dad in about a week because we have all been so sick in this house. I will not risk my dad catching something, nor anyone else in the hospital as I am sure you can all appreciate. I miss my dad and just wish he could be his old self again but I don't see that happening any time soon.

He is back on a feeding tube. He is just not eating right on his own. His mouth gets so dry and they just swab it with those wet sponges. I feel for him. He talks very short of breath so I don't even like to call him because I worry it is too much. At the same I remember when people did that to me when I was sick. Even though I knew I couldn't talk long I still liked talking to people. I needed to feel cared about. I felt abandoned in many ways.

This is the most I have right now. We are so thankful the surgery went well. The screen was put in to prevent any further clots from going up into his lungs. Hopefully all these things work the way they should. I would like to get in to see my dad but until the illness totally clears out I am not risking my dads life. I am going to call though. Right now actually. I'll post new updates as soon as possible.
