Hiya Stranger!

Well...hello there! It's been forever since I posted anything, so I decided I had better catch up! Not too much is happening here at the Copeland house. Shaun and I are both busy studying for midterms. It is "Fall Break" on Friday, and we both have midterms! Not much of a break if you ask me! Oh well...

Tayson had his first parent teacher conference of the year on Monday. He is doing great! He has lots of friends, he listens, and does great work! He's a smarty and we are very proud of him. His teacher seems really nice too, so that's always good! He had pajama day on Tuesday and since all of his pajamas are either too short or WAY too big, he got new "publicly acceptable" jammies. Very cute and comfy! Now he wants to wear them all day every day! Me too, kid! Me too! Last weekend we went Halloween costume shopping and Tayson in going to be Indiana Jones. Now to find a shirt that works.... Tayson is still loving Karate and getting better every time he goes! It's fun to go and watch him! The first thing I hear when he jumps in the car after school is, "Am I going to Karate today? Please? " Poor kid...it's only twice a week!

Haylie is just as cute as ever. She just decided to watch Snow White last week and loves it! So...obviously she is going to be Snow White for Halloween! I think she will actually be old enough this year to understand what's going on with the whole trick-or-treating thing. It will be fun to watch her! She loves trying to pick up our pumpkins and keeps telling me they are "too heavy!!" Very cute.

Shaun had an interview the other day for a real-live-after-graduation job! It's crazy to think he is that close to being done! We have no idea where we will end up, but we are all looking forward to a change! He is such a smarty pants too...must have passed that on to Tayson! No really, he is an exceptional student and has supported his family through it all too! We are very proud of him!

I'm still liking school. It's a bit overwhelming at times to juggle it all, but we just paste on a smile and truck on through it! The house is a bit neglected, but it hasn't thrown us out yet! And we all have clean underwear...good to know, huh? :0)

Well, that's all that's new with us. I'll post more when I've got something new to say...

Quirks

So...Molly tagged me. The rules are: list six quirks about yourself and then tag six people. Then leave them a message on their blog (if they have one, or email them) letting them know they have been tagged. Here goes:

1. Hmmm...I'm a bit of a planner. This can be a good or bad thing depending on the day and the person you talk to.

2. I am very dependable. I will do what I say I will, when I say I'll do it. I like this about myself and wish more people were dependable too!!

3. Wow...this is hard..I've only done two and I'm drawing a blank. Oh..I'm a nurturer. I like to take care of people. If someone is sick or sad I like to help out.

4. I used to love the winter, but ever since Tayson has gone to school and I HAVE to drive somewhere every day, I've began to hate the snow. Fall is my favorite. A little chilly, beautiful colors and dry, or at least just wet, roads.

5. I like things neat and tidy. At least where other people can see them. The closets? Disasters!!

6. I'm childlike in my beliefs. I still want to believe in Santa, the Tooth fairy, and Cupid. What fun is life without a little magic?

Well, now. Let's see. Who should I tag? Melanie, Lindy, Kristin, Kim, Mom, Mara, and anyone else who would like to share!!

YES!!!!

Alright! I am good! I got 98% on my test this morning! I'm a little mad...I would have had 100%, but noooooo, I just had to change that one answer! Next time....no changing answers! Party time for me!!! Or..maybe it's just time to forget about school work for a day and make my house livable again...and do laundry..clean clothes would be nice! Thanks for all your good thoughts for me today!

Anxiety


Hmmm...a little test anxiety....


I have my very first test of my college career tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous! I never once studied for anything in high school, so seven years later, this is a bit of a shock to my system. I've studied up a storm and my head is about to explode! Hopefully it will pay off. I'll find out tomorrow. Wish me luck!
