I graduate this week with my Associates in Medical Transcription. I have loved taking online classes for the past two years, I am very much enjoying learning and being a student. I really want to continue my education and go for a 2nd degree in Billing and Coding. It's going to help me that much more in the long run and add something else to my resume.
Well I've been trying to contact I don't know how many people over the past month and not a damned one of them can send me an e-mail back with the information I need or atleast send me to the right person to ask about starting a new degree. It's fucken irritating. You would think they would want to help someone that wants to continue their education but maybe online students don't matter, I don't know, but someone needs to get off their ass and atleast point me in the right direction otherwise I'm just going to go to another college that will help me out. Just freakin irritating as shit.
Then on top of that I can't really get the things I want to for Kenzie for Christmas and her birthday which are two days apart. I know Christmas isn't about the presents really and I think we can do just fine with getting a few presents for her birthday and some for Christmas. Nothing we get is gonna compare to the fact that my dad and stepmom got her a Nintendo DS for Christmas so not wanting to go all out anyways lol. Since it sounds like they got her a bunch of things off her Christmas list, I think I will stick to gettin her the boring things like a couple outfits (cause Lord knows she's harder on her jeans then most little boys her age lol) and get her a bunch of books to start her a new library in her room cause her dog chewed up a bunch of them. She needs more books her reading level anyways. She happens to be an excellant reader and speller so I think that's what I'll do. Not the most exciting presents but I think she'll like it. There is one game I want to get for her that goes to the DS. Trapper also wants to get the dogs and the cat their own stockings, says they are apart of the family to so they deserver a stocking also lol. That's Kenzie's biggest favorite about Christmas is her stocking, not sure why but that's her favorite part. I'm also going to buy baking goods to make about 7 different types of Christmas cookies and have Kenzie help. Try to show her that the holiday season isn't just about presents, probably won't work but it can't hurt to try lol.
I know how you feel! I only spent 100 on the girls, maybe 110 dollars, but I wanted to make sure we had enough to get around Cali with. We always try to tell Shannon Christmas is about family and not presents. I remember growing up, my mom and dad were completely broke, but I never thought "wow! grandma gets me way better presents than mom and dad." I think Kenz will be just as excited it's from your stepmom and dad as if it was from you! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThank you for that. I'm hoping if we do something as fun as baking on her birthday that she'll have fun with that and then just hang out and maybe bake again on Christmas and make a yummy dinner that she'll be happy with the nice things she is getting but also be happy that she's doin things with us.
