Slim in 6?

I just received my Slim in 6 package today. Hoping to lose the extra baggage I have had since before Bekah was born.
I used to weigh 130 before I got pregnant. At 5'9" that is fairly skinny. Well, I'm officially sick of being disgusted with my body. I am going to start a two day tea fast starting Saturday, and kick off my Slim in 6 routine. Right now I am going to go take my before shot and start my first video, Slim and Limber.
Yeehaw.

Please Hold While I Transfer Your Call...

So the verdict is...

Kevin is excited that I want to go to college. My mom is excited, my grandmother's excited, and MOSTLY I AM EXCITED!!

Graphic Design is TOTALLY sounding like my area. Best of all, I would be able to assist Kevin with his business, even though lately he seems kind of bummed out about it. He doesn't really know what direction he wants to go with his business. I told him the other day I think it would be awesome if he offered some classes. For instance, he is really good at explaining how to use Microsoft Office, and he is an insanely patient person when it comes to teaching computers to people who just never seem to get it. I tell him all the time that I would smack some of the people he helps... That's why Information Technology is not my area of expertise.

I called MATC today and got the runaround. Hence the title of this blog. Started with the admissions area and ended up at the art department and had to leave a message. Hopefully someone will give me a call today, I can't wait to get the ball rolling.

Angela, who is like my best friend EVER, was worried last night. She thought she was going to have to get a new sitter this fall if I am started college. I assured her that I wouldn't do that to her. I am planning on taking my classes online at my own pace when I want to. There is something about being able to hop online at 3 in the morning if I feel like it to do my classwork. There are a few colleges that have formally invited me to apply, one in Pheonix, AZ, and one in Pittsburgh, PA. Both colleges are in the $40,000 range, while MATC is more in the $10,000 range. Plus, campus is right in Madison, so if I DID have any difficulty I could meet with a professor. And, I can graduate with my class.

The girls are still here until 1 this afternoon. They feel like my own daughters sometimes. Angela left for Florida this morning. She and her co-workers won this trip because of a contest they were running at Claire's. She really deserves it. She has had such a rough year because of personal issues, and she works so hard. I have a lot of respect for her, and really look up to her. I know what it is like to be a single mom in today's world, especially when you are so young. She is constantly working, but she doesn't let it rule her life, and she always makes time for her girls and me. I don't know how she does it, especially with her family being 3 and a half hours away...

Well, it is 10:40, and I suppose I should start getting the girls ready to go to school. Hopefully MATC calls today, I can't wait to get a start on what I consider my new life. Kevin and I have a lot of BIG plans. We are going to get married someday, have a house, dogs, you know, typical American dream. Plus, I could REALLY use a new vehicle.

Will write soon!!

Day Three at My House

The girls have been here for three days now, and it seems like I left my old job eons ago.

I love having them here. They listen, for the most part, however I wish the sun would come out so they could run around a little.

I bought a bubble machine (Gazillion Bubbles brand, I would bet that a lot of moms know what I'm talking about), and they have only gotten to try it twice.

I have decided to take some college classes, and hopefully obtain my Associates for Graphic Design. It's a far cry from nannying, but why not do something I enjoy doing? It's definitely better than Sam's Club. I don't know why I'm such a non-conformer, but I like being able to do things at my own pace, on my own time. I get tired of sitting at home, but we can always up and go to the park or the zoo if the mood strikes us. I don't have anyone to answer to, I never have to call in sick, and best of all my "employees" are UBER adorable.

Kevin even plays with them when he comes home! Imagine, the guy who though he would never has kids is dating the girl who already has one! It's really something to hear my daughter yell and giggle when he comes through the door at night. "Kevie!" That's what she calls him.

I suppose I am going to go set the girls up at the table to make cereal necklaces now so I can get another load of laundry done. Only in Wisconsin is it 80 one day and 45 the next. Hopefully next week gets better, we have a lot of plans for this year.

Will write again soon!!
