Lillian Elizabeth Shook

My sweet granny has been very sick. I don't want to go into the whole story... but she has a fever again today and this is NOT good. Each time she gets sicker, pulls through but doesn't get back to her normal self. It's slowly tearing her apart. So I just wanted to ask everyone to prayer for her.... if she could just make it long enough for one more Christmas that would be an incredible blessing.

:-/

Hyper Hyper Hyper

Eek! So... let me give you a little history before I tell you about my day. In high school I started drinking hardcore coffee.... like large coffees with shots of expresso from this great little coffeeshop in town. Before school. After school. Another after school. Like seriously, if coffee was a drug, I was an addict. I got a $15 gift card for Christmas my Junior year for this coffee shop and it was GONE in like.... 6 hrs? So... in the past 2 years I have slowly dwindled this addiction down to having an occasional frozen coffee which doesn't have much coffee in it to begin with. At first it sucked because I had hardcore headaches and ugh. It was just awful. So I moved on to Coca Cola (oh my.... i do love me some coke) and that is my new addiction. Well my friends... this past week has been stressful. I have exams, tests, papers due, and all kinds of school related things keeping me up at night and I wake up EXHAUSTED.

So Monday I ventured to Sonic thinking I'll buy me a frozen coffee... a little pick me up to help me through the day. But it was FREEZING. So instead.... I bought a large hazelnut coffee. OH MY. Bliss. I had another cup that afternoon. And I just finished off one this morning. I think I have a problem :-\

Today.... I am HYPER! But I have no way to rid myself of this hyperactivity because I need to study study study.... but I'd rather party party party... if only Miss Hannah was here.

Anyways. I have today, Friday, Monday, and Wednesday and I will be done for the semester. Hannah will be home soon. Stephany is coming down from Michigan for Christmas. Janelle's babies will be here soon... and then I can party! Ah!

Adieu.

Almost Christmas

Basically I screwed up. Justin and I are trying a new way of keeping track of our checking balance because no matter how well I keep up with our spending/bills etc.... I'm always off. ALWAYS. So I started putting everything in a spreadsheet so that it would automatically deduct the spent or deposited amount.... so its always accurate. All I have to do is enter in the information. Well, generally I do. Except when I went to the doctor. I wrote a check, and I don't have the checks with the copies attached to them... and lucky for me the printer wasn't working at the office, so I didn't get a receipt either. So ofcourse, me being me.... I didn't record it in the spreadsheet. BAM. We're short after payinig bills. Fantastic. THEN. I get a notice from a national bank that we used in TN and still have open for savings, but we have NOT used it in MONTHS.... saying that we overdrew our account..... so I investigate afraid that my debit card has been stolen. No. I used the WRONG card one day. So not only are we short in our regular checking account, we are now overdrawn in our OLD account and have to pay a ginormous fee because they sent the notice to the wrong address (even though we have called to change the mailing address I can't even tell you how many times) and it was forwarded to the right address.... giving a delay of about 4 days. UGH.

So stressed is probably a good way to describe me right now. Everything will be worked out today, but geez. That's money down the drain we could have used for gas and groceries because I messed up. Bah.

I hate dealing with money... if only my honey was money savvy....

UGHHHHHHHH FUDGESICLES!

I REALLY messed up this time. Now what the crap do we do? I HATE money. And I wish I didn't have to be in charge of our finances ALL the freaking time. UGH.

School School School

Today is the day I register for Spring Semester classes... I always get excited about this because it's new things to learn... until I am in the middle of the semester ready to register for the following semester! Anyways... so this semester I took the Freshmen Orientation Class (stupid and required), General Psychology, Introduction to Sociology (ugh hate this class), College Algebra w/Lab, Expository Writing & I finished up a Public Speaking Class I started in high school. So that gives me 17 credit hours for the semester. In order to graduate with my Associate in Arts to transfer to UNCA to start my education for my future career (yay!) in Spring 2011 I have to have 17 credit hours a semester or take some of the classes in the summer (no thanks). Well my academic advisor seems to think I can't handle 17 credit hours... well psh. I can so do it! I did it this semester! So I have preplanned my classes until I graduate.... because well, I'm a planner. I've mixed up the "easy" and hard classes together. Really, none of them are easy, but there are ones that I know I will do well in.... like the Music classes! So here is my proposed school plan....

Spring 2010

• PreCalculus with Lab
• Foundations of Education
• Literature Based Research
• World Civilizations I
• General Anthropology

Fall 2010

• Art Appreciation
• Music Theory I
• Principles of Biology
• Introduction to Literature
• Elementary French I

Spring 2011

• Introduction to Geology
• Personal Health/Wellness
• Appalachian Culture
• Music Theory II

All semesters are 17 credit hours except Spring 2011... because all of my classes would be done, so that leaves a spot for either an extra class to go towards my Elementary Education Major or if I need to retake a previous course! Yay! So here I go.... 7 minutes I will be registering and hopefully I will get the classes I want!

8 DAYS!

Ok technically... it's not just 8 days, it's actually 16 days... but there are only 8 CLASS days left for me! Since I have MWF scheduled classes.... that means 2 weeks of regular classes and the last 2 for exams. I'm almost done with today, so that means SEVEN class days left! HOORAY!

I can't believe I made it! I didn't chicken out, or give up... or even let the stress and all the work I had to do pull me down. I made it. This is a huge accomplishment for me! So I just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU GOD for helping me get through this semester... honestly how do non-Christians get through anything with out Christ? I just don't get it! LOL

Anyways, yay for me! I feel very proud :-D

Hope

UGHHHHHHHHHHHH. It's too early to be awake! This sore throat is killing me, I'm fine during the day, but early in the morning it feels like somebody took sandpaper and rubbed my throat down while I was sleeping. So I'm up, I feel fine now, but now that I'm up I might as well stay up because Noah will be here in about an hour and a half.

Anyways, my grandmother is in the hospital. My sweet Granny is NOT doing well, but if I was being completely honest, I know she would be better off and HAPPIER to run into Jesus' arms and see my Papaw again. It's frustrating because my dad is in charge of everything, he takes care of everything that involves Granny and its tearing him apart. Dad has 3 siblings, one lives in Florida so I understand him not being as involved, the other is constantly at the hospital but if we were completely honest shes kind of nuts, and the third sibling didn't want to deal with it, thus giving the reins to my dad. My daddy is an AMAZING man, he is strong and faithful.... but the moment Granny (or even Papaw when he was alive for that matter) started deteriorating or getting sick... he falls apart. And it breaks my heart. I'm just ready for my dad to have some relief, to not have to worry anymore. My sweet Granny needs relief too, and I know if my heart that she is going to see Christ when she passes away so I'm not afraid to see her go. Yes, I will be sad and devastated... but if its her time, its her time... and Jesus will welcome her with outstretched arms!

Little Monsters

Let me be short and sweet and to the point. Life is good at the moment. We are ok (not great but ok) financially and things are finally starting to look up. We have a plan for next semester as to how to pay off some of our debt (ie car, stupid credit card to help us move, and prepay a years worth of rent to lessen the monthly bills), and I have workstudy going (which is awesome) and I get to help my favorite family with their kids. I like to call these kids "The Flint Monsters"... they're not actually monsters, they are AMAZING kids (yes Janelle, they are AMAZING) but it's fun picking on them. Joseph is my "JoJo" except he does NOT like being called that, he always tells me, "No Sarah, my name is Joseph Flint." LOL! Jesse is my Cuddle Buddy or Booger Butt (don't ask) and Miss Priss Joyann is my Pouty (or sometimes Sassy) Princess. I love these kids, they never fail to brighten my day and I look forward to helping Janelle keep them occupied and help around the house when she welcomes TWO more babies into the world! Jonathan and James will be here soon and I can't wait to meet them! Janelle, I am so excited for you and you are an amazing mother... thank you for being my friend and always encouraging me... I was thinking about you guys today and thinking about how soon the babies will be here! YAY!

Anywho... this is my random blog for the day... just thought I'd jot down the many things going through my head!
