Final blog

Hello Professor and classmates, well we have reached our final week in this class and I can't believe that it is the end already. Throughout this class I feel that I have met some wonderful people and I am grateful for that. I have learned so much from this class and my writing skills are a direct reflection of that. As we move into the future I feel that the writing skills I have learned will travel along with me throughout my profession. As we all move on I wish you all the best of luck in the next step of your lives, and maybe we will cross paths again. Good luck everyone and remember, WE DID IT!!!!!

Well hello again professor and classmates, I can't believe that we are nearing the end of yet another term. I am ancious but excited to be moving on and just hope that the things that I learned in this class will help me in my future as I am sure that they will. I think that I have grown tremendously in my writing skills and also in writing a thesis statement. Before we know it we will all be starting our future careers and making a difference in people's lives. As our term ends my kids are starting a new school year and they are very excited. I can't believe that 2 of my children are entering their last year of middle school and then it is off to high school, what a scary thought. My other 2 are entering 7th grade and 4th grade and what a ride it has been. I can't believe how fast children grow up, and as they grow so do I. Well I wish you all the best of luck as this term ends and hope that you all have a beautiful future.

Week 8 blog

Hello professor and class, I can't believe that we are already in week eight, only two more weeks to go. It seems that when you just start to know everyone and get comfortable with the class it is time to move on and start all over again. This week has been a very busy and stressful week, my husband lost his maternal grandmother this week and it has been a week of school shopping for 4 kids. I just LOVE taking my kids shopping especially my son because it is always a battle, he hates to shop. Next time I am leaving him home with is father! Well another school year for the kids is about to begin, they have about 3 weeks of summer left. Next week they are going with my mom to a place called Horseshoe Lake where she rents a cabin and conoes every summer and just have a blast. Well I will see you guys on the discussion board, have a great week.

Week 7 Blog

Hello again professor and class, well I just got back from Alabama and it was a great trip. My 4 children were up there for 10 days and I was going nuts without them. I think that sometimes you have to have time away from your children to realize how much you appreciate them and visa versa. I loved the quite time but I sure am glad that they are home. Well they have about one month left of summer vacation and it is going by so quick, before I know it I will be the taxi again for my kids, getting them back and forth to 3 different schools. Another year gone, I can't believe how quick the years pass when your kids are growing up in front of your eyes. Well good luck to all of you on your final projects, they will be due before we know it.

Week 6 blog

Well hello again fellow classmates and Professor. Wow has it been a quite week, my 4 kids left on Tuesday to go visit their great grandparents in Alabama. I can't believe how weird it feels not to have screaming kids fighting all the time. I feel more like a referee sometimes rather than a mother, but you don't realize how much you miss it until it is gone. Before I know it though they will be back and I will be pulling my hair out once again. I am very happy though that they are able to spend time with their great grandparents while they are still around. My grandparents are in their 80's and still going strong. This week they were pretty brave by having all 11 great grand children with them, I give them much credit. Well I just finished my rough draft of my paper and I am so glad that I made it through it. I wish you all the best of luck on your paper and I hope that you all enjoy mine.
See you next week in the blog board.

Week 5 blog

Hello classmates and Professor,
Well my kids are driving me nuts and it seems that all they can say is I am bored. Summer vacation for them is going by so quick before I know it school will be back in. I still can't believe that this year I have two 8th graders, a 7th grader, and a 4th grader, wow they grow up quick. Not only is their summer vacation going by quick so is this term. I can't believe that we are already in week 5, before we all know it we will be starting a new term. It seems that it wasn't that long ago when I decided to go to college, and now I am half way through. I am so glad that I am taking the next step in my life by having a career. Well I wish you all the best of luck with your futures.

Hey guys,
Well today was a long day, I spent most of the day at the dentist office with my children.
I found out that three out of my four children need braces, and boy are they expensive. Well at least they will have pretty teeth. :) I can't believe that we are already in the 4th week of our term, one more week and we are half way through. I am a little nervous about our final paper, I hope that it comes out being as good as I am picturing it. I really don't mind writing the paper, I just don't like starting the paper. I seem to have a hard time with the introduction paragraph, but once I get started the rest of the paper seems to fall into place. What I do enjoy about writing these papers is the knowledge that I gain from them. I wish you all the best of luck on your papers and I am looking forward to reading them.
