Good Morning fellow streamers!

I only seem to have time to post or visit any of your blogs when I am at school and have gotten there early. so here I am sitting in the Computor Lab before my keyboarding class with a half hour to kill catching up and updating y'all on what is going on over here in my happy little hectic stressfull life.
I am a full two weeks now into my Liscenced Nursing Assistant classes and I have completed my first two exams.I took the second one last night and scored a 96% ! WOOHOO!
I am doing well so far in my Algebra and my Keyboarding classes as well. No tests in those yet.I am certain that the only reason I am doing half as good as I am doing in my keyboarding class is that I get alot of extra practice when I do my blogging.
I also have a Psychology class and so far that is going alright as well. I have my first big exam tomorrow so I wil let you know how that goes.
I want to thank all of you that prayed for my friends the Barrett family on their recent loss of Mary. I am very gratefull and I am certain that they are as well. I am blessed to have y'all as my blogging friends and that I could call on your love and compassion in a time like this.Y'all are so awsome. Thank you.
Hubby is doing alright since he has been home from the hospital and he is exercising every day, eating better and is taking his meds like a good man. I am very proud of how well he is handling this time in his life and how he is delving into his relationship with the Savior to guide him through this trial. He is doing so good handling the kids and the stressers they can give and also me and my attrocious scheduale as well. He has a doctors appointment today with a specialist about his back and the Spinal Stenosis. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers for me today.
The daily reports I made up for my kids at school and the behavior modification plan I have been working on with my little hellions is appearing to be working. They have been really responsive to the color charting of their behaviors and the fact that what they do and how they act in class and at school impacts thier home life as well. The charting for special time is coming to the end of the second week and I can already see some positive changes in their attitudes and overall behaviors. I am overjoied at this. I takes alot of the stress off of Hubby when he can have a completely schedualed time with them everyday that doesn't change anf that they can easily know what is expected of them and when every day.I will keep you updated on what is going on and how this is working.
Well, I am going to go and read and comment on your blogs and see what y'all are up to lately before I have to go to Keyboarding class.
Much Love to all,
RED

Good news first:

  I took my very first test in my LNA class tonight and I passed it with  21 correct out of 25 questions !

Thats an 89% !!

WOOHOO!

 

On a sadder note the bad news: 

I am asking for some prayer for a family that I grew up with and their recent loss this week. A freind of my bio-moms has daughters that I literally have known all my life. This family is suffering the loss of one of those girls suddenly and unexpectedly.

Mary was only 27 years old and a teachers aide at the local high school. I wasn't as close to her as I was her older sisters, but her loss is still heart saddening for me and my family.

 If y'all could please remember the family of Mary Barrett and her Father Butch tonight in your talks with The Almighty I would be most appriciative.

Thanks,

RED

I have been noticiably absent from the stream for a few days and i would like to ask all my fellow streamers for some prayer regarding the reason for my absence.
I have just started school for the fall semester last week with a full class load. Algebra, Keyboarding and Psychology ,with the added pressure of having been excepted into the Licensed Nursing Assistant Program three days a week. I will even have classes on Saturday!

I also have all three kids in school this year and have been having a problem with a bully on the bus beeting on my little son. Last year this kid had a crush on my six year old daughter and was too affectionate towords her and she rebuffed him( he is 7) and now aparently he has decided to try a new tactic...beating up her little brother to get her attention. We are talking with the teacher and have moved all of them away from each other on the bus,but he is relentless and Friday he started in on my son again and my teeny tiny little son(who is five) had enough and beat the kids but so bad the boys older sister had to carry him off the bus!!!!
Needless to say we talked to him about not fighting and that Jesus would want him to turn the other cheek, but I can't help being proud that my little boy kicked the older and much bigger bullies behind! I am bad I know...
I have to go to the school today and talk to the teacher and the principal about the incidents today. Why do I feel like I am the one who is being callled to the principals office to be disciplined? I feel like shouting " He started it! My boy just finished it!" LOL
I am not looking forward to this afternoon to say the least!

Plus all this melodrama I have the added pressure of the fact my husband is not here to help me out. My Hubby is in the hospital.He has been having chest pains and anxiety issues for a long time now and they have come to a head. He went to the Emergancy Room on Sunday morning with chest pains and some shortness of breath, His arm was hurting and his face was feeling numb. This has been happening alot for a long time now. The doctors did some tests and put him in the Behavioral Health Ward for some observation and gave him some massive doses of anti- anxiety meds to calm him down,but about the middle of the night he had the rapid heart and the pains again. The doctors have moved him to the ICU and are monitoring his heart. They think(finally!) that something is wrong with his heart. He has been going to the ER for about six years now with this and the problems have been getting progressivly worse. They kept on saying it was stress, heartburn, acid reflux problems, or anxiety.
When he had his 'episode'a year and ahalf ago they said it wasn't a heart attack that it was 'heat exahaustion' and sent hime home. I was pissed off because I knew it wasn't 'heat exahaustion' it was an attack anf that they didn't even do the tests because we did'nt have insurance. I think that is the root of most of the problem here. If we had good insurence this would have been taken care of a long time ago. The doctors think that he may have an infection in his heart lining that has gone undetected and has been getting worse, or he has some kind of blockage. We won't know for sure untill they do some more tests. I am a complete wreck at the moment. I am so scared that I might loose my man. I don't know what I would do without my love. He is my other half of my coin.He is the gift GOD gave me and I am petrified at the chance that I might loose him.
I am asking all streamers for help. Please please, PRAY for me. I need your support more than I can say right now.
I know that GOD will lead me through this,and I am mad at him right now for giving me all this on my plate. I am not sure I am strong enough to handle this on my own. I am trying to be strong for my kids, do well in my school work and I am floundering and feeling overwhelmed. Please pray for me.
