Im off today, and it is absolutely beautiful outside. The weather here lately has been quite indecisive. It goes from freezing cold-frost-on-the-windshield type weather to flip flop and picnic type weather over night. Yesterday was amazing, but I was stuck at work inside all day. By the time I got home last night, we had just enough time to eat and take baths and get in bed. When we woke up this morning, I was happy to see that the warm weather decided to stick around and we would be able to enjoy it today.
Emma is at school, and Mady is taking a nap, and I have been stuck in the house most of the week, so I decided to bring my laptop outside, sit on my front porch, and relax. Though I must say, this one little chair I have out here, is not going to cut it if I plan on spending more time out here this year. I may need to invest in some actual patio furniture of some sort. And the more I sit out here, the more this spot by my front door looks like the perfect place to put a little flower bed. Yep. We are giong to attempt to keep flowers alove this year!
I made a few phone calls today to OTC and Cox Radiology Program. Im just trying to find out everything that I need to do to enroll for school and see exactly what Im getting in to. It looks like I will have to take some prerequisites at OTC before I can enroll in the radiology program at Cox. And I have to get those classes done by Feb 1st 2012 to be considered for the program that starts in the fall of 2012. I didnt figure it would be so long before I could start in the program, but I guess since there are requirements I need to get done, time is a good thing. The whole application process is a little stressful. They only accept so many people each year. And theres no guarantee that I would be chosen to start right away. But. I still have to try. I am going to do this :)
The whole court thing with Kanen is over. And the outcome is not ideal. And definately not what I was secretly hoping would happen. But its over none the less. He accepted the plea bargain. He plead guilty to the charge. And in return, he was slapped with a misdemeanor for child endangerment, 2 years supervised probabtion, court ordered alcohol treatment, not to consume alcohol at all and no contact with me or Emma, and ordered not to be on the premises of any establishment where alcohol is the main area of sale. he will also have to do random, and weekly testing for alcohol consumption. If he violates any of the terms, he will be sentenced to 1 year in the greene county jail. And between me and you...the odds of him violating any of those terms are fairly good. Im counting on the fact that he cant stop drinking for anything. I know this man better than the courts do. And its just a matter of time.
I am thankful that all the stress of the situation is over and behind me. I am just about through all of this court stuff. 1 down. 2 to go lol. And both of the other 2 things should be done this month. At least Im hoping it wont be drug out any longer.
The sun disappeared :( It honestly looks like it could rain any minute. Which, would be just fine with me. A nice sunny day we were able to enjoy, and a rainy evening we could enjoy even more :)
Its almost time to wake Mady up to go get her sister from school. The girls are excited for a yummy dinner, and Im suprising them by making some homemade banana carrot muffins for breakfast in the morning. They LOVE to help me bake!
Im glad life has calmed down again, and we can actually do this kind of stuff again. Although, i do have to admit, this week I havent done anything. I feel lazy. And at the end of the day, I feel guilty that I didnt do anything. I feel like theres something important that Im putting off, even though Im pretty sure theres nothing of the sort. I am so used to being on the go 24/7 that relaxing is foreign to me lol. But Im enjoying remembering how to do it again :)
