I figure out powerpoint, woohoo!

Okay I finally mastered something new, I have
not been looking forward to this project for medical office management class that required me to do powerpoint. I have never done powerpoint before and I did not have anyone else who knew how to do it either. It took me a few hours but I did it , woohoo. It looked so professional , I am very proud of myself. Learning something new always makes me feel good about myself. I still moving forward on that road to success!

One year down and one to go!!!

I am so happy , I have been in kaplan one year now! I can' t believe I have come this far , this year seem to have gone so fast . I can not wait until next year . I am very proud of myself that I have come this far and I am still going strong. I don't know how parents go to school and work and still be good parents , my hat is off to every working parent who has gone back to school. That right there is a task for an army, lol. I am tired now but I will be forever smiling next april 2011 when I have my degree in my hand. Thankyou God for giving me the strength!

Cat Lady!

This week I decided to try and reduced the number of cats and kittens I have in my home. It is really crazy how I became involved. Last year in the end of winter we try to lure a black kitten into the house by feeding the kitten but that didn't work. In about another month or two , I noticed she was pregnant and in may she gave birth and brought her kittens one by one to my house . So we took the kittens in , now in total we had five kittens. One of the kittens became pregnant and gave birth to four more kittens , lol. Now , we were placing ads about giving away kittens but no takers . Meanwhile the first black kitten we brought in the house became pregnant , can you believe this, lol. So my husband takes her to animal shelter , when I came home that evening , I realized she already had given birth to three kittens under my bed , lol. Now I have given one cat away and gain three more kittens , lol. I want to know when did I sign up to be the cat lady!

Time off , what is that? (lol)

Okay , I finally get a weekend off and I still cannot rest , lol! Even though I love Easter , it could have come next week , lol. It seems like there isn't enough time in the day or week to get all my chores and homework done. I would ask my husband but if I want something done right , I might as well do it myself. Sorry men , but some of you are so dumb when it comes to important tasks but ask them about the score on the game two years ago and they will not only tell you the score but tell you who got the most points and who was at the game ! My post this week is short because I am short on time but I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter!

I'm still standing..........

I thank God for each and every day that I have with my children . I think about all of the obstacles we had to overcome these past few years but we are still here. My oldest , when he was five , was diagnosed as being mildly mentally challenged. I was told he probably would not be college material , well let me just say my son has been on the honor roll since the new school term. I actually got him into a school that was for children with behavior problems. I made this decision because I did not like the work they were giving him in other schools and this caused he to act out because he was not being challenged academically. He proves to me and to himself , that taking your time and studying can help you beat the odds when they are stack high against you. As for my middle son , just when I thought life was good , I found out he might have a cancerous tumor on his life kidney. I just wanted to die! This was just too much for me to deal with, not my son. Thank God ! I was a benign tumor and it was removed but the whole process , which took about four very very stressful months. Taking different tests , which caused my son and myself to stay a few weeks in the hospital , it was very sad to see so many children with cancer or other illnesses . I remember bargaining with God for my son to be okay! It is crazy how we all seem to do that ( bargaining) at some point or another , but I guess it work cause my son came through this with flying colors. Just when I thought the worst had past again , I found out that my youngest has Autism. Why does God think I am so strong but I guess I am up for the challenge. I could not imagine my life without my little one , he has a smile that can light up a room. Yes at times it can become frustrating because I watch him get frustrated when he knows what he wants to say but it doesn't come out that way . I feel for him but at the same time I am so proud of his little accomplishments. He just learned how to write and it just made me smile because this made him happy about his accomplishment. As a mother , you ask that your children are healthy and happy and God bless them with both , what more can I ask for! I'm still standing and I am definitely strong!

stressing over nothing

Okay , two days ago I went to see the surgeon who did my lapband surgery. For the entire week , I have been stressing even thinking about canceling the appointment . I did not lose the amount of weight I was suppose too. I was texting my sister the entire time I was in his office waiting for him to come in and she was telling me I was acting like a complete maniac, okay , I was but that is not the point! I was so scared because I knew I didn't do my part and I just knew he was going to let me have it. So he comes in the office and he says , I see we had a set back , well we have to try harder and if that doesn't work we will have to try a different option. Then he said the words that made me feel so much better, he said " look kid , lapband doesn't cure obesity and many patients have set backs , your not alone "! Finally , I was feeling like I am the only person in the world to have a lapband surgery and not lose weight. I left the office laughing because I was so relieved that he did not chew me out. I guess I was stressing over nothing!

I'm sooooo stressed out

A year ago I had the lap band and I had started losing weight but then my body was rebelling and I started to gain the weight back. Even though I am not the size I was a year ago but i should have lost at least 40 to 50 pounds. So I go to my medical doctor and she tells me that my cysts is causing me not to lose weight , finally I get answers to why I am still a fat person , lol. Now I how do I tell my specialist , that this is the reason I'm am still fat, lol.
