I hate to jinx myself but I am feeling just a bit better now. I had parent teacher conference on Friday, and if you  have a child that has behavioral issues like I do then you know the anxiety I was feeling before that not to mention the kid had left me with a discovery that morning that was going to cause an argument when she got home. Oh and did I mention that math test that had to me taken that morning as well?

Anyway the conference went GREAT my daughter even made the honor roll. Talk about a proud mama. It was so needed hearing how well she is doing in school. Especially considering all the drama at school until recently. We have the report card up on the fridge and she now how big incentives to keep her grades up at the tune of $5.00 for each B and $10.00 for each A from this point on when report cards come out. She has never made honor roll before this so it was a proud moment for her as well. I know she can do it she is very smart she just needs to make better choice and that comes with age and maturity so I am hoping the trend continues.

We had a great time in Vegas! I zip lined down Freemont Street, saw a Legend in concert Mr. Barry Mailow, and even learned how to play and made money on Craps. It was a great trip and the hubby and I so desperately needed the brain break. The only down side was the plane ride home. It was fine but left me with the worst flu. Dang I always get sick from plane rides, but it was a small price to pay for the great time.

I am still struggling at times to cope with LIFE, but I know that I have been dealt the hand and have to play it as I can and that means good times and bad. If I can just get a few good ones here and there I will persevere as I always do. I am still looking at things in the long term and not knowing where it will lead me. I need to concentrate more on enjoying the ride and not worrying about the destination. I will get there where ever that is and when the time is right. I am still conflicted about school though. While I want to continue on and get a degree I am stuck now on what I really want to be when I grow  up. I thought I knew it, but lately I seem to find more and more flaws with the idea I had. I want to be part of a solution not part of a problem and this is putting a kink in my plan. I still have many classes to take before I am even done with pre-reqs but I am really thinking I will change what I ultimately go onto do. I wish this were my last semester in math I really do. I have never been good at it, even in high school when that was all I had to do let alone now that I have a family and a job. I mean in reality I can stop here, BUT I will screw myself if I want to ever transfer to a university so I am torn. I wish it came easily for me but I do not have a math brain. Not to mention that I know you will never use 90% of it for fact.

I am also kinda conflicted on my blog. I love having it here for me and I have the best intentions and really want to get back to using it to reach the outside word at least weekly again. I miss the friendships I had with some of you folks! I think I have outgrown blogger though. Wow that is something I never thought I would say. I want more freedom, more reign to play with the big boys ya know. Hell I'd even like to make a buck or two and I think that once I get back into my grove, me holding me back is gone so then I need to work on my platform holding me back ya know. So I am seriously thinking of moving to a self hosted wordpress blog. What?? I know right It has been over three years here at blogger. I never wanted to give up blogger because it was comfortable and I was feeling like I would be giving my hard work up and starting over with PR and such, but umm hello Lisa it will all come back and you love to learn new things so what is your reason now? Well nothing I suppose! I guess paying for hosting bothered me too, but ya know who cares will it make me happy in the long run? Hmm only time will tell on that but I do know if I never try it I will have nothing to compare it to so I cant answer that honestly until then.
