My week back to real life

So, this was my week back to school and somewhat normal life again. No more "sitting at home" and doing nothing. But, then again, I didn't really get a Spring Break since I was sick all week and couldn't do anything. But I just kind of feel normal again. I'm back into my routine of taking Alex to school everyday and going to school myself twice a week.

Speaking of my school, I just figured something out that's pretty ROCKIN'! While my parents were here tonight, I got to looking at the schedule of courses that are offered next semester. While there's not much available for me to take, I will be able to take needed classes. But the interesting thing was, that I may actually graduate in Spring 2010 instead of Fall 2010! Can you believe that? My last semester will end up being 12 hours, but 3 of those hours will be my Capstone, which isn't really necessarily a class at all. So, I'll be done sooner than I thought. Can you believe that?!? I'm so excited! The only thing is that Reesey will only be starting pre-k, not kindergarten. So, I don't know what we're gonna do as far as childcare goes. But that'll all depend on a job that I get...if I can get one then.

Being sick kind of put a kink into things around here. Last week, Alex had his first t-ball practice and I wasn't able to go because I was running a 101.2 fever and didn't think I needed to be around other people. So my mom took him and Ryan picked him up after he got off work. Well, I was hoping to be able to go to his practices this week since I was feeling better. Yeah, that didn't happen either. It rained out practice on Tuesday night and I am in class until 10 pm on Wednesday nights, so I didn't get to go again! I'm really bummed, because I've never even laid eyes on his coaches or any of the other parents. It's awfully strange.

We went to get Alex fitted for his t-ball uniform today. They had brought samples to practice on Wednesday night, but it was too cold and disorganized for the kids to try them on out there at the fields. So, they suggested we go to the place that's going to do the uniforms, "The Scoreboard." They've been in business FOREVER! Seriously. My brother and I used to order our baseball and softball uniforms from this company when we played growing up. Anywho...so when we went over there this afternoon, the man who runs the place was an absolute jerk! He acted like we were idiots for being there getting sized. I mean, come on! Isn't your job to sell uniforms and other sports paraphernalia to people? Don't you think it would be smart business to treat people with respect. I mean, if we didn't HAVE to use this company, I would never go back there after being talked to like I was today. It's not my fault that our team couldn't try on uniforms in 40 degree weather. Who acts like that? I mean, really?

I don't know. Maybe I'm a little sensitive, but I just don't like being talked down to or being treated rudely by people. Especially people in customer service. This company relies on word-of-mouth for a lot of their business and I'll just tell you this: the words that will be coming out of this mouth will not be in praise or complimentary to his company. He'll be sorry. I just hope that he doesn't treat the other parents like he treated me today. It's uncalled for.

Oh, and another development that I thought was interesting: Ryan may get a facebook page! :-) I think it's funny because he teases me all the time for having a facebook page and says that it's ridiculous that people use facebook. And now he's seriously considering it. He actually told me the other day that he wanted me to help him set one up. Now who's being ridiculous?
