The other day my son was in using the potty and I had run out to get something from the kitchen and I turn around and my son is standing there in all of his three year old glory and yells at me "Hey mom were out of paper toss me a roll." Note the fact that we have always kept the toliet paper in the bathroom right next to the toliet!

I am sorry for not keeping you guys updated with what is going on. There is just so much going on right now that it is hard. I am still working and starting to get in a few extra hours, which will be nice with the pay check. I am very lucky to have Fozi around, she has been helping me out so much with Eli. She was doing the mid day transfers with him and watching him when I had to work after day care hours. 
Eli started riding the bus this last week. Head Start comes and picks him up at home and then drops him off at daycare in the afternoon. It takes a lot off my shoulders and is a huge help. Not to mention he loves riding the bus. He is going so big, he is starting to grow out of his 4T pants, he is three and a half! Which means that I am going to have to buy him new clothes, which I really don't have the funds for. I don't want to get him to much because here in a few months it will be getting hot again.
My dad is doing really well. He responded to the chemo really well for it being his first round. In fact he is actually in remission! We also have a match for the Stem Cell Transfer. It turns out that my uncle is a match and willing to donate! He is going to be in the hospital for the next few weeks and then he is going to be out for 2 days and go back for the transplant. Seems kind of silly but it will give us time to go do some stuff as a family outside of the hospital.
School is going pretty well. Right now I am in a class called Color Theory for Web and Multimedia, let me tell you it is kicking my behind! I am so glad that I was not able to add an extra class for this session. I think I would have died if I had another class in addition to this one. The good news is that I have an A in the class. How awesome is that!
I hope that things are going well for everyone else.
Oh on a side note I have lost 5 pounds and in 2 days it will have been a whole month since I have smoked, which is just flat out amazing! 

Oh my goodness this last week has past in a blur and of course I had to work for most of it. Not that I am complaining, this next pay check is going to be well worth it. There has been so much going on that I have not even realized till a few days ago that there is less than a month till Christmas! Ahhhhh...... Where the heck has this year gone? So much has happened, I am scared to even try to recap the main events that have happened. 
One thing is for sure, I am going to be searching for another job. There is no way that I am ever going to get ahead working where I am now. Heck I am just now getting caught up on some of my bills. The really bad thing is that my insurance ends tomorrow and I do not qualify for any through work because I am only part time. I really can not afford to buy it privately but unless I can find something full time with benefits really darn quick, I am not going to have any other option.  Esspically now that they have hired another cashier at work and have already started cutting back my hours. Not that I am the one that the manager always calls when they are in a pinch and needs someone to fill in. Oh well, I guess they will figure out what they have when I am gone. 
In good news we got a little Chihuahua puppy today. She is 10 weeks old and adorable! I think she weights about 2 pounds right now and a really pretty caramel color. She is full breed, with papers and we got her for a really good price. She has not been named yet, we keep bouncing around different ideas. 
School is going really well for once. Right now I am taking a drawing class. We are currently in week 3 (about half done) and I still have an A! I am so super excited about this but I am kind of afraid that they won't believe it when they see it. I am actually really starting to enjoy the class.
Eli is doing great! He is getting so big and he finally broke 32.8 pounds, he now weight 34.8! He is 39 inches tall so he is really tall and skinny. That is not actually that uncommon for boys in my family, us girls end up with curves! He is in Head Start and doing really well with it minus the drop off and transition to day care in the middle of the day. Anyway, I better get off of here and get on to job searching. I will let you guys know what I find.
