I’m supposed to be working on an assignment for the Political Theory class I’m taking, not to mention the term paper I have due in a week. I can’t think of anything that I want to write and instead I find myself watching game shows with the Little Dude on GSN. We’ve been watching GSN (which is Little Dude’s new favorite channel) for the past 2 hours and I’ve come to realize that they will turn any and every idea into a game show. I’ve also come to realize that Little Dude is an old man trapped in a little kid’s body and that anything and everything will distract me from doing my school work.
Earlier today Little Dude was in the yearly G’town Christmas parade, on the Cub Scout float. It was so much fun. There is nothing like a small town parade and this one does not disappoint. The starting point is in one of the first subdivisions when you come in to town, that’s where all the floats and bands line up, and it goes down past the fire and police department and city hall about two miles to the IGA. The participants throw candy to the crowd and if you sit in the right spot (right at the start of the parade route) you can get as much candy as you would going trick or treating with none of the effort. I have to download the pictures I took today and I’ll post some.
Speaking of pictures, Army Dude downloaded all pictures that I had trapped in my camera. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll have some time to post pictures from the Saxby Chambliss rally. But first I want to finally get down to the Christmas tree farm and buy a wreath and work on these last two assignments for this term (yes really work on them). By the way I just got an email from the professor from the other class. I got an A on the final, add that to the fact that I got an A in all the assignments turned in and YAY!!! I survived that crazy lady’s class! HA!

Busy Little Bee
That's me!
I have been super busy lately. That's why I haven't been able to post much, although, trust me, I have wanted to!
Like I said before, last week I got sick just in time for Thanksgiving and didn't start feeling better until Monday afternoon. While I was sick I slowed down on school work because I couldn't concentrate so now I have to pick up the pace. The term is almost done, today I did the final for the political geography class and now I have to finish working on the term paper for political theory which is due next weekend. We also have our town Christmas parade that little dude is going to be in again this year (we have to set up the float Friday too) and of course the SEC Championship is Saturday as well, ROLL TIDE! and next weekend is little dude's birthday. I can't believe he's going to be 7 already.
Oh and did I mention the Army Dude has a new assignment. Looks like Korea. I don't really know what to think, I'm relieved in a way that we get to stay put but then again I want to go with him. I love to travel and to experience new places and Korea would be so cool. I've had a couple of friends who have been there that liked it and one of my good friends lived there when her dad was in the Air Force and she loved it too. We've done the year separation before so we know what that's about but it wont hit me until he leaves and we don't know when that will be.

This Week's Developments
Can I just say TGIFF (Thank God it's finally Friday!)? It's been on hell of a week.
It started Monday, I still wasn't feeling well about five people asked me if I was pregnant, too many cars in front of every CVS on the way home so I didn't stop. Tuesday, still felt sick, went to a sushi place for lunch with some girls from work and the overpowering smell of raw fish smacked me when I walked in and I thought I was going to lose whatever I had eaten the day before. Someone else asked me if I was pregnant, stopped at Walmart got a test, wasn't.
Wednesday two of my good friends got laid off (I'm so sad about this).
Thursday, still don't feel well, passed my Karate test, received red belt (YAY!) felt so bad I almost didn't make it through and things started to go downhill after throwing one of my male classmates three times, luckily that was with about 10 minutes left in the test. The Army dude wasn't feeling well so he left school early and stopped by the studio on the way home to watch the rest of my test which was a nice surprise, and then he says he's impressed with how well I'm doing because he didn't think I had it in me when I started. Gee buddy thanks for the vote of confidence!
And today it's finally Friday and we found out that the Army Dude is no longer on assignment for Colorado (WOOO HOOOO!!!!). And I find out that, according to my political theory text book, I am a right-wing extremist. Apparently, anyone that isn't in step with Al Gore on the environment, is against the government raising our taxes and miss using what they are already taking from us, is for the Second Amendment and thinks Socialism and Liberalism is suspicious or bad is a right-wing extremist. And by the way if you are a right-wing extremists are also racist OK... that's news to me... I have a whole laundry list of complaints about this book, there are a lot of margin notes where I have written "Is this guy serious?" "What the hell?" "This never happened!" and so on. But that is another post all together. But at least we aren't going to Colorado! And knock on wood that we don't end up somewhere worse!
By the way the Army Dude had a good idea for bailing out The Big 3. Since OPEC makes so much money off of us driving around in our SUV's and such and because without The Big 3 and their gas guzzlers OPEC would stand to lose money, OPEC should bail the car makers out. With all the money that we have sent to these "friends" of ours they can bail out our car companies and send that money back our way. It's a win win situation, Our tax money doesn't bail them out, they get their money, and OPEC keeps them in business to make more cars that will need more gas. What's not to love? Army Dude in 2012

It's Here...
My Halloween costume that is! And it is so cute! Now I'm really excited about Halloween, there is nothing like getting the costume to get me in the mood for real. Tonight we'll be bringing down the decorations (of which we have more than Christmas decorations) and I'll start decorating tomorrow evening. I can't wait!
About this costume, it's short, really short. It gives me a lot of motivation to work out like crazy for the next week and a half. I'm also trying to decide what shoes I should wear with it, T-strap heels or knee high boots? That is the question of the year! LOL and it's a critical decision, these things really matter. LOL
On to more serious matters. I got so mad while I was reading my Political Theory book today. I knew from the get go that it was going to be a really biased book and it has not disappointed. It is just ridiculous what it says about conservatives (and how conservatives invaded and occupied Iraq in 2001, yes that's right 2001!) and how Libertarians are the extreme of the right and that they want to go back to giving the wealthy all their wealth and power so that they can once again oppress the poor. What??? Seriously? That's not what Libertarians stand for, they just want government out of our business and that's really not such a bad thing. I think this person needs to have his head examined. Needless to say I got a lot of reading done but I was fuming the whole time LOL.

By the way...
Speaking of going to school. I got my grades for last term and I had straight A's again. So I am now officially on the Dean's List. YAY! I am so excited! Not bad for working full time and going to school full time and doing all the extra curricular family activities. But there is no rest for the weary, second term started yesterday.
Self Sufficiency
This one speaks for itself...
And that is the definition of socialism.
And there is this totally slanted piece but what more can you expect from Andrea Mitchell?
The part that gets me is the college student crying to Obama. OK let me pull out the world's smallest violin here. I am all about people going to college, but since when is it a right? How many people in this country have busted their ass to put themselves through school? How many people have taken out student loans or worked their butts off in school to get scholarships and plugged along and did what they had to do. I'm sorry that this girl didn't get scholarships to pay for her tuition and I'm sorry that she thinks she's above going to a school that doesn't charge so much that even after grants she's $24,000 in debt for what two years at the most (she says she's 19) and I'm also sorry that she didn't have a college fund set up. But plenty of people have been in the same situation as her and plenty of people have put their big girl panties on and dealt with it. And speaking as someone who has delayed going to school because I couldn't afford to pay for it and who now works full time and goes to school full time so I can afford to keep going, I don't care for her sob story. Go cry someone else a river. Show some character and help yourself instead of expecting the government and everyone else (who has already helped themselves) help you. You can start by getting a job, sure it's not as much fun to have to work while you are at school and yeah it really does make it harder but there are hundreds of thousands of people that have done it.
Self sufficiency, try it!

Two More Down...
And a lot more to go LOL. I just officially finished my last American Lit. class and not a moment too soon. I have the biggest headache now. That class had that affect on me. Friday I took the proctored final and he had stuff in there that he previously said was not going to be covered in the final so of course I didn't pay much attention to those selections. Grrr.... So now I'm just hoping for the best. I'm really worried about my grade in that class now so we'll see. I know I got an A in my other class. We'll see.
I also ordered my Halloween costume for this year and here it is:
Except for the boots, I'm not doing the thigh high boots, I'll probably do strapy sandals haven't decided yet. And I've decided that we'll most likely do like a trick or treat after party but now my husband is mad that he'll be at work that night, but it's the only night we have and he doesn't like Halloween anyway. Plus I told him that he's taken a day off to go to some one's goodbye dinner he can take a night off if he really wants to be here for the party. Like he never does anything fun when I'm at work.

Stressing
I've come to the conclusion today that I just can't have my yearly Halloween Party. :o( I am so sad. I really want to have it but I just don't have the time or the funds to do it right. I may just have people come over for a little after trick-or-treating get together on Halloween night.
I realized today that I have to sign up for next term like, today! I have to get the books and all ordered. I chose one but I can't make up my mind about the second class I want to take because I don't want to completely overload myself. I may just take the computer class and get it over with. But then I realized that tuition is due at the begining of next month, Yikes! I'm thinking I'll have to take out a student loan, which I really don't want to do but more than that I don't want to quit school again!
And now that my husband is on swings we're alone all evening and little man's boy scouts is going to conflict with my karate. grrr... every Thursday, I can't be missing every Thursday, those are test days. So we are going to have to work something out.
Well then, It feels so much better to let all that out! LOL
