Well some things are getting better with school. I am still having a hard time balancing study time with everything else.

I am working more hours at the YMCA. I have been going in earlier and staying as long as I can. Today I'll go from 7;30am until whenever I get done. I can't work past 6 hours however, without a 30 minute break. We did that the other day. I need to amend my time card so it looks like I had a break. It was an accident on the part of both my boss and I. We weren't watching the clock. I really like working with him. We have a good time. Day's that he isn't there I have a harder time doing some stuff. I like having a partner to work with. Not sure what we are planning on working on today, but I will start with tearing down and painting grates for the pool-room.

Took my first Microeconomics test yesterday. I don't know how I did. I feel ok about it. I really didn't study, I didn't have the time. I had been tested on that material when I took Macroeconomics also. I have my first Money & Banking test on Wednesday. Now I'm NOT ready for that. I have to do some studying tonight and hope I can pass the thing. My Management 2 teacher has posted work like we have nothing else to do in the world. I also still have 3 research papers to work on. I am PLANNING on working on those during February vacation. I really need to get a jump start on them.

I started working at the college again yesterday. I did some envelope stuffing and some filing. Rachel is leaving the office and going to work at the credit union in South Sanford. So I guess the rest of the staff is going to pass me around and use me as they need. That is fine. I may say something if they have me lifting and re-organizing heavy boxes again. I am not working maintenance for them nor am I a pack mule. I hurt my back last semester moving stuff around for them. I don't mind most of the other stuff.

Steve and I are doing ok. Nothing major to report there. Things seem to be going well. Trying to decide what to get him for Valentines Day.

Last weekend was busy. Steven went to the Klondike Derby, Kirsten had a swim meet, and Matt had the York County Music Festival in OOB. STeve and I were going in different directions. All 3 had to be dropped off at various places between 6:30am and 7:30am, then he went to his daughter's birthday party from 12pm to 2pm. This coming Saturday is pretty booked too. The kids have several places to be. I can't even remember all we are doing. Then Sunday is Matt's 13th birthday party. I may have to pick up Nana and bring her up. I certainly don't mind. I'd rather get her than have her not come.

Saturday is food stamp day so I go shopping first thing in the morning also. I have to make Matt's cake and I still have to do some shopping for him. Friday would have been Mom's 67th birthday. I am working at the Y and I am supposed to clean Nana's that day also.

Well time for the kids to get up and me to get myself dressed.

I'll write more when I can.
