Well, I have some news. I wasn't going to say anything until I started. I didn't want to jinx it. I am going back to school and I am going to get my nursing degree. Wow that feels strange to say. The reason I am breaking my rule and telling you now is because it is going to take longer than I thought to start. Why? Well, I just found out I have to re-take my ACT since it has been so frickin long since the first time. Ugh. I hated that thing. So much pressure...so much riding on one little test. I think I'll study this time. Who knows, maybe I'll even get a better score this time, if I can remember Algebra. Geez, I hate Algebra.

So, yesterday Jr convinced me that we should have some cheap physical activity that we can do together. His choice was Tennis. I had never played before. So, I was worried about making a fool of myself. He used to play with his mom when he was younger, but he hadn't played in a while. Verdict: Awesome! I really enjoyed it. It was very good exercise and it was a lot of fun. I did better than I thought I would. I guess playing Volleyball all those years helped. I can't wait to go back.

Sunday Andrew turned 6 years old! Our present to him was season passes to Magic Springs. We drove up early in the morning to beat the crowd, only to discover they don't open until Noon. So we had to think quick. We decided to visit The Mid America Science Museum which was nearby. They have changed it a little. Jr and Andrew have never been there. They really got a kick out of it. There was a demonstration where they had to go up front and make their hair stand straight up. I got a picture, but my stupid camera's flash is broken and it was too dark in there. I tried everything I know to lighten it. Nothing I did worked. Any ideas? Anyway, we finally got to Magic Springs. They have rides on one side and a water park on the other. I rode a bunch of the rides with Andrew, but I left the water park stuff to Jr. I am not a big fan of large public swimming areas. Just me? Anyway I got a good nap on a chair beside the wave pool in the shade. It was a good day. So here are all the pictures...enjoy!
