Succession
It's pretty neat how the creation speaks of the Creator. Even in studying succession of forest communities, you can see parallels. Death must occur before new birth and creation. Old things must die before the new life can spring forth. A fire is cleansing and can reveal things unrealized for years. Without fire, some changes can never occur. New life comes in stages where the old is shed before the new, bigger and better things come. If you don't have wildfire, there are many beautiful wildflowers and strong trees that you will never see.
Just thursday....
The people are supposed to be here to fix the heat today, they were supposed to come yesterday but called and said they weren't. Today really is better I have to leave a little bit later. Not sure how the weather will effect their coming however...
It's been a light week, I've been trying to start studying for the upcoming ecology test because there is a huge amount of information. So far 150 or so slides and I can't even count the vocabulary to learn. Today will be working on ecology, I have lots of reading to do for it also and some videos to watch. And he has three long documents posted, he said all weren't req'd reading, but I know some of it will be. It can be overwhelming the amount of info he makes us cover. I would love to take the histology class or even herpetology, but he is teaching it and I already have to take him for another class my other choice is environmental chemistry, but I am hoping there will be another class to choose from. Since my SPED teacher was sick, there is not much work to do for that class this week and we had that reading test, so I just need to start the new chapter.
Tomorrow I will clean house, get my hair cut and go to Senior night and the football game. Mom will be here around lunch. Saturday study in the morning and party in the evening, hehe. At least the weather will be nice even if it is muddy. I hope there is a decent turnout because I have two cakes coming.
That Align the Gastro. Dr. put me on has made a huge difference. It really helps alot. My feet are still acting up. I walked night before last and then did Shred yesterday and they are hurting. I need to find an elliptical trainer or something....I have to be really careful with the Shred because I injured my shoulder doing it and it doesn't take much to get it to flare back up.

This week
Not too much to talk about today. I've got to write a paper on flu & tecnology, clean house, get fingerprinted, jog and work on ecology. There is a TON of information to learn so I need to get on with it. I took my reading test yesterday, but I regret not going over my flashcards beforehand. OPPS. i guessed way too much. UGH Not too much going on this week. No other test because my SPED teacher was sick and we had an online module. no IS395 this week. Good thing because I need to work on ecology and housework so hopefully I will be able to take most of Saturday off.
Our heat is not working. PTL we got a 'home warranty'. I called sunday, but haven't gotten a response, so I need to add that to the list to do today, call them back... Our fireplace needs something, but we aren't quite sure what, lol. They told us the insert was cracked, but it appears that there is no insert and we think maybe that is it, we just need to buy an insert?? There was a lady at the Dr.'s office with the flu. I'm praying that we didn't pick it up there.

The Propitiation
I John 2:2 He is the propitiation for our sins, not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.
propitiation: an appeasing, propitiating - sin-offering
So I had this dream last night. Well first, Sunday morning, I was reading some footnotes & scriptures when Audie was preaching, and came across propitiation. I know what propitiation means, but the Lord said, "I'm going to show you what propitiation is". It's one of those ok, if you say so moments, lol. Well I had a dream last night. I was in this 'event' in a stadium like place. It was supposed to ge a game, but as it went further and further with me narrowly escaping each time. I was being hunted. A man was with me. I had to go through all these obstacles and it was getting harder and harder to escape. When it was clear we could no longer escape, he turned to me and said to go on, that they would not be satisfied without blood. He would stop them and I would escape. He made an atonement for my sin, took my punishment....That's propitiation.

Back online
My dear husband picked up my modem for me yesterday and I got it installed this morning. It may be slow but it is better than the cell phone or nothing, let me tell ya!
Rachel cooked dinner for me last night for my birthday, it was really sweet. No one has done anything like that for me in a long time. Noel used to cook me Brie en Croute (a pastry with Brie cheese, mushrooms and other stuff), I had forgotten that, it was yummy! Other than that, no one else has gone to the trouble, it meant alot. Funny, I think only two people remembered my birthday last year and I couldn't count this year(hmm would Fb have anything to do with that?). Anyhow, their house is a ruckus. It was wedgie city and I wish I would have had a camera, hilarious those kids. I was hoping to at least have lunch with Tori before she left, but they were to far away. She needs to post some kind of itenerary next time she comes so we have a clue when we can see her.
Things are still fairly quiet, but I know it will all hit soon enough. No tests this week, two next week and I am not sure when the next ecology test will be, but there is certainly a ton of info. to cover so I am starting now. Today I've got a science club meeting at 12. I'll have to leave early to get to the next campus. It takes 15-20 minutes to get to the new campus from the old one because of all the construction and traffic. I use cowhorn creek which keeps it from being 30 minutes, but it still takes a bit. Then I may go look for a birthday gift for my mom and work in the computer lab for just a short bit. If I try to go for the entire 3 hours, it makes the day way too long and makes my back hurt. We are supposed to be outside today for a lab, but we shall see. Trying to decide about a laptop and if it will help any. I think I will stop at walmart and use some bday money to buy some rubber boots- it looks like I will be needing them.
I also found out I have to take genetics with my *favorite* instructor. The main issue now is whether or not I am getting the information I need to pass my test after I graduate. Guess I will have to study hard on my own. I may have to take him for my science elective also, but I am going to try not to...

Next few days
Ok, so here are the next few days: Ecology today then Forensics test tonight, NO lecture so I will be home before 8 I think. Thursday maybe meet for debate project (haven't heard from 3rd person, UGH), present posters in SPED class (no test this week yay!), puppet practice after class. Friday get up EARLY (be there by 7:30)and go to STEAM conference, here are my chosen workshops: Mat/sci applications in water industry, podcasting in your classroom, lunch, Come Wii with Mii -and I think I'll skip the last one so I do not have to worry about a babysitter (it ends at 3:30). Friday night go to tex with DH and buy freezer, saturday school stuff then Campmeeting. Sunday reverse that :-)

AHHHH Quiet
It's been a quiet day (other than Shawn's dog which barks incessantly for no apparant reason!). It's nice to have the entire day at home, I get few of those. Next week, I really need to schedule my last observation. It'll be nice to have that done! I got a 111 on my ecology test (out of 125), that is unless he changes it, we did a group 'peer' type grading. Whew, that is a load off. This test ought to be easier to tighten in on without 50 million videos to watch. Blake seems to like Youngs so far. Funny, you ask them if they like it and they say yeah, we get free food or cokes, lol, BOYS! Shawn jr. will be 18 this sunday, you can tell he is ready to 'make his own decisions', it's funny they think 18 is a magic number. :-)
I'm contemplating getting Hughesnet. It's about 40$ more a month though and money is tight, but it sure would help me out with school stuff. I am thinking of maybe dropping my phone and just getting one like Amberly's. I have to check and see for sure when my contract is up. I also am not sure how it would affect the boys phones. They are running a special so it would be nice to make up my mind by tomorrow, but I am just not sure that I can. Expenses are really heavy this year with senior ring (blake), TWO letterman jackets (sjr changed his mind), senior pic's homecoming, prom& all that stuff, plus a new freezer this weekend, I could go on and on. (You have kids, you know!)
This week, Amberly is going to Laura's but I don't know Blake's reg. schedule yet and I am not sure how she will get to church on wed. Just taking it one day at a time right now! Shawn might could swing through to church that way, but I want to make sure she gets her hw done.
Well that's enough of a break, back to work. I'm tying up lose ends on my ESL reading poster and then back to study environmental history and laws. (exciting stuff, lol)
