I am a mother of five beautiful children and one handsom husband. I stay home for now to care for them untill the little ones are off to school. I don't mind this at all since I know no one can love them the way I can. I care who they grow up to be and I want to be sure that we install good and moral values. At the end of the day I'm glad I've spent it with them and them with me and I know these memories will be with us forever.

Update on the yesterday's vent

       Well, I feel a whole lot better today then yesterday.  Turns out I put to much into the homework assigment that was stressing me out because it was taking to long.  In my efferts to do my best I'm over doing it.  Typicle for me.   Now I understand a little better my intructors method.  That helps.  On a good note, I got an A on my computer final!  I thought for sure I was not going to get a good grade even to the point that my hands were sweating when he was passing back the papers to show us our grades.  All I could think was "don't cry if it's bad, wait till you get in the car".  After being a stay at home mama for so long I just don't have anything to put on an application and have very little if anything to brag about at an interview.  I need to at least excel in my grades so I have SOMETHING going for me.  I'm just glad I'm starting off good.  God willing I can keep this up.  It's so hard trying to do the school thing and still be the mama.  Anyway, I better stop yapping and get some stuff done before I have to go. 

P.S. Just in case I'm giving the wrong impression I want to add that I'm loving school!  Why did I not want to go when I was young?  I guess that how the saying "education is wasted on the young" got started...or is it "youth is wasted on the young"?  What ever, both are true. LOL Wink

A quick vent/break

       Before I vent I just want to say that I in no way am sorry for my choices or my situation.  I am very happy and thrilled to have the opertunity to go to school and have a loving family who supports me in every way.  That being said I am feeling a little overwhelmed by it all and I have only been to two classes!  Now that I see just how much homework is going to be continually piled on me I am afraid, no I know, I will not be able to keep up with everything I did before.  I knew I would have to let a few things go but now i see just how much.  The laundry is already getting behind, the floors need to be mopped and I know I wont get to that untill Friday (ewww), I need to clean out the fridge (again, ewww), and I am missing more time then I expected with my kids.  I know there has to be a way to manage all this and I know I will in time figure this all out but for right now, at this very minute, I am feeling a bit over extended.  Not to mention that my internal clock that has always woke me up at 6:30am on the dot to get the kids ready for school is no longer working.  I didn't wake up till 6:45am this morning! I guess it's back to alarm clocks for me.  I was so hoping that me going back to school would not effect to much the rest of my family but now I understand that it is going to have a huge direct effect on them and I am so sorry for that.Sad  I still have to and will move forward because in the end this is FOR them and will benifit us all.  The sacrafices are so hard for everyone but I am determined to make it well worth it for the whole family.  They deserve the very best from me and that is what I am going to give them!  God willing.
       A far as my class goes I am enjoying it very much and feel I am learning allot.  There are a few things I don't understand about his method though and I don't know if I should open my mouth and ask or just keep it shut for fear he may get offended.  He did give us an evaluation card so we can tell him what we think without putting our name on it.  That's funny because my horrible hand writing and spelling tells my name for sure! LOL  Oh, well.  I guess I'll just have to see what I will do as I go.  I have to say my head is spinning and my brain hurts.  Yes really!  My brain hurts.  I'm even getting dizzy a little here and there.  I hope this all goes away as I get used to useing parts of my brain that has lain dormate for a very long time.  Is there a way to get in there and clean out those cob webs?Confused  We shall see huh?
        So that is it.  I just had to unlaod so I can keep moving forward.  I do feel better now and remember why I am doing all this craziness.  Now I have to stop wasting time whining and crying and get some laundry going, pick up a little, possibly clean the bath room at least and then back to homework and studying. Oh, I can't forget that I have to at some time sit and pay SOME attention to my little Despina! Good day to all!!!!!Red heart

A new road for mama!

   After spending what seems to be most of my life being a stay at home mama I am off tomorrow to register for school.  I 'm taking classes for Medical Assistant.  I thought before about doing EMT but after thinking long and hard I decided it would not be fair to my family to have to deal with me deal with the pain and sufffering I'll see on a daily basis.  They say you get used to it but how long does that take?  It's just not fair to them.  I think I'll like Medical Assistant even if it may not be all that exciting.  I hope that I'll at least make a difference in some way.  I may not be in the position to save a life but I may be able to make someones medical experience a little easier.  I hope at least.  I am so excited to do this.  I just hope I CAN!

Time to blog again!

    I was just looking at my space and i realize I have not bloged or added pics since Sarah sang in the choir.  Well!  Now the choir did another perfomance and this time Joshua's class was in it too!  That's not it.  Sarah finally got the solo and she rocked it!  I will post pics tomorrow and blog more about it too.  Right now I have to lay down with Ari because he's feeling so needy lately.  I'll bragging on kids soon!!!

OOPS!

Okay, looking at my posts you would think I only have one child!  I'm not picking favorites, really!  I just spend so much time with just her now that the others are in school that I see so much more of the things she says and does.  I really like that she get's some time to be focused on.  I do try to make sure I give everyone time to be focused on though.  I do have to be honest and say I'm loving the time alone with my littlest one. 
I have some pictures I'll be posting later of Sarah singing with the school chior last night.  It was so cool watching my daughter up there singing her little heart out.  She didn't get to do the solo but that's okay, she did great!  Nektarios and Despina gave her flowers when she was done.  Oh the smile that came across her face when she saw those flowers was priceless!  She said "I feel so special".  Love it!!!
