I can't believe another Term

If anyone didn't know, at the end of June, I enrolled in an online College. The school's name is Kaplan University. Now mind you , I have not really been to school since 1987 and that was when I graduated highs school. Back in 92, I went to a business school for a while (to study computers) but I had got really sick and was out for 2 weeks and at that time in my life, it was really hard to catch up, keep up with my work, then go to a job after school in order to pay rent.. So Guess what I gave up. So here I am at Kaplan. My courses this term is Software Applications and Effective writing 1.
Software class should be easy, but I don't know about the writing one. Well we shall see.

I found another thing to fix for dinner that my daughter loves

I am always looking on online recipe sites for different things to make for my family. Only person that is hard to cook for is my son, lol but that is for another post..

DIRECTIONS

1. Place the beef and butter into a slow cooker. Sprinkle the onion soup mix over. Cover, and cook on Low for 8 hours, or High for 4 to 5 hours. Stir once or twice.

My Celebrity Look-alikes

Mmmm this is quite intersting.. I love her hair color.. Hopefully soon after I go and get my hair cut, I may go and get my hair lightened. I used to have my hair done all the time, but with kids and all that, sometimes it is hard to find the time.. We shall see

I feel like a kindergardener:)

Why is it now that I started college, lol I feel totally stupid. I mean we had to write a narrative essay (now mind you I can write) but I just have problems having it organized and using the right words, and all that jazz. We have a site that we go to and we can send in our essays to get it revised or some help with.. Lol well I sent it in 5 times and each time something else is wrong with it. I get frustrated because I want it to be perfect the first time.. I feel like a 5 year old that went straight to college

Hubby and I are going to the Poconos

Lets just say in the past 11 years since we been married.. I can prob count on 1 finger, lol how many times we went out by ourselves, without the kids and no i am not talking about going with him to Walmart or something like that..

We reserved a really nice room.. lol even with Military Discount, it still cost a lil over 700 dollors.. Yikes for only 4 days and 3 nites.. But we dont go out too often, cause we are so into our kids and going out as a family.. So this is worth it and we need it bad.

Going to be so much fun.. The only thing that is not included in the price but is like 30 dollors for an hour is horseback riding.. I have never rode a horse and i have always wanted to.. lol but hubby thinks all we are going to do is stay in the room the whole time and only umm stop to eat.. lol fat chance.. I want to explore too:)

Well thats all.. it is late, going to bed
