In the life of Mapgirl

It has been a crazy busy couple of weeks. I am running my head off with all of the sports practices, plus the games and then there is the supportive mom (dinner for the football boys both helping and just being there). Last week was supposed to be the homecoming for the school but the game was called off due to the other team (they only had 7 boys not sick or hurt) so the school is redoing the homecoming week for this week. Plus there has been school pictures and one field trip.
whew! That's just school. Then Seth has confirmation every other Wed. night. Oh and I'm still working. Lots of changes in the work dept. Both good and bad, but I am over the bad and have decided to be a team player.
Nate is out of town this week for a few days, and I really don't like acting like a single mom. I don't see how they do it. It seems that I don't have much down time (and I am realizing that I really need that).
I have registered to go back to school. I have already picked out 2 different degrees that I want. Both require that you are accepted into them. Both are hard to get into, but I am definately a different person than I was 17, 18 years ago. Play time is over! I have taken my placement tests and am happy with 2 of my scores. I'm not so happy with the math score. I am going to retake the math part the day of registeration for the Spring semester (Oct. 28th) so keep your fingers crossed. That score decides if I am eligible to apply for the 2 degrees. So every day for the last week and every day until Oct 28th I am/will spend an hour or two studying Algebra, Algebra II and Trig. Yep, I'm serious. Crap, I'm even playing algebra games on the computer just to try to refresh. Soooo, it has been "do or die" mentality around here. There is alot of pressure to pass this. So far my plan (if I dont get into the programs yet) will be to take Eng 101 (several of my former credits didn't transfer) Either Math 100 or Math 116 depending on the scores of my test, and Anatomy. The later will be my easiest class. And so far everything that needed to fall into place has. God has definately had a hand in this.
I've started a new leg class and it is killing me. It's odd how you think you are in shape and quit really working out and pushing yourself, then take a class that you think will be somewhat easy and then afterward you try to walk and you start whimpering. I don't think I could do another lunge or squat. But, tomorrow I'll be back at class. This is another do or die thing. I can't give it up. Not in an anorexic way (quit laughing, everyone knows I love food) but in a mind/mood soothing way. I have horrible days when I don't work out or jog. My mood is the pits. So, I just try to incorporate it with the kids. Ali now loves to jog and Seth? well Seth is working out on the field 5 days a week and on the court 3, so he misses out on our new "girl time".

Well, the morning is gonna come early so I better hit the hay.
