my sister just phoned to tell us that my sister in law, tanya, and my nephew, aidan, are going to be up this weekend...
tanya's aunt passed away and her mother is not doing well, so tanya & aidan came down to massachusettes from alaska...they will be up in NH on saturday, so i will get to see them...the circumstances aren't the best, however, i miss my family in alaska, so having tanya & aidan, even for a day or two, is something i'm grateful for...
by the way, these were not the original plans i had for saturday...we were planning on attending my aunt's 60th birthday party...and i was really looking forward to that...but now plans have changed and it will be a day of staying close to home and visiting with more immediate family...
which isn't always a bad thing...

college news...
today was a fairly good day...i woke up at 5:00 and couldn't go back to sleep, so i got up at 5:30 and took my time getting ready for work...then i left early, which was a good thing because the roads were rather slimy...a mixture of snow and sleet and rain made driving less than ideal, and the road crews weren't out yet -- or if they had been out, the snow had piled up again before they could take care of it...(but usually they treat the roads as well and any snow that falls on it ends up melting and things...)
anyways, i got to work and i had a great morning with the kids...i accidentally hurt j's foot in the couch recliner thing, and i felt TERRIBLE about it...but a little cuddling and a wet washcloth with cold water and he was (almost) as good as new...there's a bit of a bruise, but he assured me that his foot felt "really good"....
he's such a trooper, that little guy...today i got a phone call at their house from lyndon state college...things are in motion for me to apply there and hopefully i will get accepted...
i will take a tour of the place on the 23rd at 2:00 in the afternoon...in the mentime, i will be sending in my request forms for my transcripts so they can be sent right to LSC...and i will also be getting my GED test scores sent to them i think as well...
after that it will only be a matter of time before i find out if i'm accepted or not...
if i am accepted, i will be attending in the fall and will be working towards a bachelor's in education...wow...that's just such an amazing thought!!....
also on the 30th i will meet here in berlin with the director of the education program for granite state college and see about their education degree...that way i will know what's what, and i can decide how i might want to do things...
so, this is all very amazing and very exciting at the same time...
....
i start my winter term tomorrow with a drawing course...and then wednesday is my creativity class...i'm glad that classes are starting back up...i always get bored during the long holiday break...
i guess there's not too much else going on right now, but as i look ahead at all that's happening this month, i can tell i'm going to be one very busy beaver!...i've got something planned for every saturday this month...as well as some other things scattered throughout the month...it's going to be a busy but hopefully enjoyable month...
....
last night when i went to bed there was mostly bare ground...today there is about two inches of wet heavy sticky snow...but it's so wet you can't do anything with it except maybe splash in it...
this has been the most unusual winter i've ever seen...
anyhow...i'm off to find some supper and perhaps watch a movie with mom...last night we watched "fly away home" which is such a sweet movie...
tonight it's eitehr the phantom of the opera, a prairie home compnaion, or children of a lesser god (but i don't know how she'll like that one) ... i might stick with one of the first two...just because chidlren of a lesser god might be a bit rough for her...still, it's a good movie...
i guess i'll see what (if any) she feels like watching...
....
have a great week, everyone....
