Unbelieveable...two posts in one month from me!
I just found out last night that I made it into the nursing program. Now I have to figure out how to pay for it and make enough money to cover my share of expenses. I didn't think I would make it in, as it is very competitive, so I haven't worried about it.
Also, we got Andrew and Alexa's end of year testing scores and they both scored high average on almost everything. Alexa math scores were end of 5th grade - she just finished 4th grade - so she's a year ahead on math. Her reading comprehension is average. We are going to be working on that more this summer. Andrew scored very high on everything....even math...which is his downfall.
Alexa needs to take more scuba classes in order to get her skills down and get her closed water certification. Poor thing. The equipment was too big for her and taking the facemask off really freaked her out. We are going to work on that so she can pass. The instructor has promised to take her on a trip to see a plane wreck that still has a skeleton in it when she passes! I am trying to weasel my way on the trip, too. lol....
We went to the zoo on May 22nd when the tiger exhibit opened. Too cool. Once again SCZ did an awesome job on an exhibit.
I will have to try to remember to post pictures after Andrew's birthday on Monday. I can't believe he is going to be 12! And is going to be in 7th grade next year. Where does the time go?

May....
Well, as I'm sure everyone knows by now, I got in a bus wreck on May 4th. It was pretty scary. Fortunately I only had 10 kids on the bus at the time. And, contrary to news reports, I did come to a stop, I didn't run the stop sign. I stopped, looked both ways, twice, and never saw the SUV that I pulled out in front of. Fortunately, he saw me and swerved, I hit him and we skidded into a ditch about 15 feet away. That had to have been from his speed, because I was barely moving. Thank God, no one was seriously injured.
Thankfully, that weekend a storm hit Towanda and the focus went on that, instead of me! Again, we were very lucky that no one was hurt. We personally didn't have any damage. Which is frustrating because I have a huge red target painted on the roof. Apparently the storms don't see it! Maybe flourescent green would be better? We had to move some trees out of the road, so two neighbors used their manly chainsaws and went to work. I moved the cut limbs out of the road.
I finished microbiology and therapeutic nutrition on the 13th. I got an A in both of the classes. My GPA is now 3.78. After Developmental Psychology this summer, it will hopefully move up a little bit higher. I am still waiting to hear whether I got into the nursing program or not.
Andrew and Alexa finished school earlier this week. They will be entering 7th and 4th grade next year, respectively. We are seriously thinking about doing a different eschool program through Lawrence, called K12. It is so fabulous and we are really excited about it.
Alexa and I are taking scuba lessons this weekend. It was/is scary, to say the least. I never thought I would have anxiety about water. Breathing underwater is freaky. Alexa is having a rough time, but she is very young. The youngest age they will certify kids is 10 and she has only be 10 for 6 days.
Can you believe Alexa is in double digits? She is so excited about officially being a "big kid". I am really proud of her for trying scuba. Not many 10 year olds can say that they have scuba dived. Hopefully she can finish her certification. We went to Texas Roadhouse for her birthday and she got her picture taken on their saddle doing a big "yee-haw".
Yesterday we went to the zoo and saw the new tiger exhibit. SCZ rocked the exhibit. It is great. The two brothers were "fighting" and it was fabulous to watch. They are magnificent creatures. The animals were pretty active considering how hot it was outside.
I will try to get a picture of Alexa in her scuba gear - do NOT expect to see one of me. WOW!! They are seriously not made for people with ANY meat on their bones. Not an attractive sight.
