The Dreaded Comps

Well Saturday is the dreaded comps day. I have TRIED to study but I have never been that great at it. I can't believe you have to pay to take all these classes then you make A's and have to take a comprehensive final to actually get your diploma. Ugg I am so ready for it to be over with. I have to wait 3 weeks to get my results. The test is 5 essays and so I guess I will be typing my heart out.
Chase is still playing baseball. He has district starting Monday. If we win Monday and Tuesday then his team will go to state. I have mixed feelings. I love to win but I am ready for ball to be over. He is so excited he is playing 3rd base and has been doing a GREAT job. Go Bulldogs!
Zachary has been a really good helper here lately. He has been doing so much to help me get things done and taking care of Garett so I can study and get things done. I know he is ready for me to be done with college as much as I am.
Garett has been having to learn that he can not always get his way. His brothers are no longer giving in to him when he whines. He will come tell on them when they don't and I have to explain to him that he has to share. But of course his response is but I a little boy. That seems to be his response for everything when he wants to get away with something. He has a hard time keeping his clothes on. He prefers to be in the nude ALL the time regardless of who is around. His dad said boy at least but some underwear on and he told his dad that boys are supposed to be naked. Chuck said is daddy naked and Garett informed him that he was NOT LITTLE. I said HELLO daddy don't you know that. I just laughed.
Chuck has been going on motorcycle rides the past few Mondays with our preacher and other guys from our church. Sometimes they go to revivals and others they just ride and have dinner. He really enjoys it. I am glad he has that time.
My neighbor and I have been walking about 2 and 1/2 miles at least 5 days a week. I feel so much better and have already lost some weight. I enjoy being able to talk to another women and not have the boys falling me around on my heels. It makes me feel so much better.
Well think of me this weekend when I am sitting poring out all my knowledge on these lovely comps.
Hope you have a great week and weekend!
