For the Last 2 weeks........

Let me tell you...omgoodness!!! These last two weeks have been ruff. I hope our English teacher let's me count this blog for the last two weeks. I have been in and out of the hospital with ammonia. The doctors say I'm okay to go home, then I go home and I get worse. I've been sent home with an oxygen tank and a nurse comes by to check on me twice a week. I'm slowly getting myself off the oxygen, my oxygen level has gone up 10%, I'm at a 82% I'm suppose to be at 100%. So it's been very hard to keep up with my homework and take care of my kids as well as myself. But my husband has been very helpful I am so thankful for him and all that he's done for me and my kids. We are trying hard to catch up on everything with school. Fortuntly our teachers have been very patient with us both and we appriciate it greatly. I hope you all are doing great in school and with your families. Much love to you all, have a wonderful week.

OOhhh NNNoooo!!!!

I'm kinda nervous about the blogging. Last week we had a mild snow storm, but it was bad enough to cut off our internet service for almost two days, they had the phones working before the internet. I couldn't blog, so i'm wondering if that will be counted against me, i hope not. back to homework, best of luck to you all. Do we get spring break also???

Spring Break..Finally!!

I am so excited Spring Break is almost here! Not only is it a break from school but my family is visiting from New Mexico. My kids are so excited to see their grandparents. And I'm excited to see them as well. We were planning on going to Elich Gardens in Denver but sadly they are closed until April. You would think since Spring Break is at the end of March they would be open, well I guess not. So I'm looking around Colorado Springs to see what there is to do as a family. We have a zoo here but I don't know if it will be to cold. I'm at a loss, mostly everything they have here we have back home. It would have been awesome to go to the amuzement park. I hope everyone is remembering to post in their blog, would be awful if you missed it and had to do a final. My family and I are doing well, I love my job, you could say it's an easy paycheck. My little sister's birthday is on Saturday and she will be turning 16 years old. She is the baby of the family and I can't believe she will be 16, how time flies. You know people always say, I remember like it was yesterday that she was just crawling. Well that is so true, I can remember so clearly when she was crawling and when she took her first steps. It's amazing how they grow up so fast. My son is turning 3 in November and I can remember when I was in labor with him like it was yesterday, lol! And my daughter will be 7 in October and she has grown up to fast. She talks to me like she is 12 or a teenager. I spoke with my mom on Tuesday and she was telling me that when she spoke with Kaitlen she thought she was conversing with a 9 year old, lol! She gets along with adults and can carry a conversation with them, reminds me of when I was her age, I was the same way, lol! Well, I hope everyone has a good weekend and Happy St. Paddy's Day!!!!

Relieved...

I am finally all caught up with my homework. It's been a rough month, with my family being sick and financial problems. My stress level is at a normal level, hopefully it stays that way. My job is good. Everything has been going good. Let's hope for the best in the future. I can concentrate better on things. Just taking it one day at a time. Other then that, I hope everyone is doing good in school and with your personal lives. I've missed church the last month, so I'm looking forward to attending on sunday. Getting back on schedule is a must for me and it works well for me when I am organized. I bought myself a new planner and I'm loving it. My sister thinks I'm a nerd for having one but it makes my life easier. My husband and I need some time to ourselves so I'm hoping we can go on a date next week when I'm off work. Having nights out together really helps in our marriage, we never really dated before we got married, so it's fun for us. We just don't know where or what to do yet, but we have several days to plan. I hope everyone has a great weekend. And it's back to my homework. Goodnite.

Back on Track...

My days have been good and I'm looking in a positive direction. My school is coming along and it's getting better. For a few weeks I've been struggling with my kids being sick and I've been sick. Horrible combination being sick and tons of school work. I am so glad that I'm not sick anymore so I can catch up on my schoolwork. But one thing that I am so glad about is not having to do a final, if I post once a week. That's so awesome. Well, I better get back to doing my homework, done my posting for the week, until next time, have a great week everyone.

Being sick is horrible...ggrrrr

How about that, only posting once a week and no final, pretty awesome i think. I'm still posting like twice a week just to be on the safe side, i don't want a final lol. my head has been pounding like crazy for the last three days, it wont go away. my typing is horrible, sorry, but my head hurts and i need to go lay down, just had to get some homework in tonight before i go to sleep and tomorrow the same thing all over again. i just need to concentrate on one class tomorrow so that's good. well everyone bundle up outside, being sick is not good, especially a sinus cold, the worst in my opinion. well good night and hope you are all doing good in school. later gators.

Hitting Rock Bottom...

The last two weeks have been so stressful. I'm glad that my husband has been by me through all the problems that we have had. Moving to Colorado has taken our financial situation through the roof. Thank Goodness for Income Tax LOL! Seriously I don't know what we would have done without the help of tax season. When we moved here we didn't have jobs, we were living off our savings which wasn't much. For a month we didn't have work and money was very low, then February is here and more money is accumulating ontop of the bills already owed. We were two months behind on our truck and already they had the repo people on us. How did they know we moved, we don't know. We have never been late on our truck payments and the first time we don't make a payment they are on our behinds. We figured they would be understanding, considering that we've been on time for the past three and a half years. But no they weren't. Two weeks ago we had a knock at the door and my sister answered and it's the repo man. She totally played it off and it was all good until they came back a second time. And this time nobody answered. But trying to dodge the tow truck was so nerve racking, just driving to work we had to look around us to see if we were being followed. Just to lighten the situation Dan would call it "Operation Ninja". Just that feeling of, "Will we get through the day?" or "Will our truck get taken?", was totally awful. We hid the truck for a week in the garage, it sucked so bad. I hate that feeling. And on top of that our bills are due, we felt as though we hit rock bottom.

We filed our taxes and things started to look okay but we weren't out of the woods yet. Still feeling uneasy about driving is not a very good feeling at all. We didn't deliberatily do this to ourselves. We could have made better judgements on things and done things differently. But we had to work on the current situation. We didn't know that it would affect us emotionally, physically and mentally. Having the support of one another and getting through the tough times, really meant alot to both Dan and I. It was hard trying to keep our emotions and troubles away from our kids. But we did, we worked on making their lives as comfortable as possible. We worked together on getting ourselves out of this mess.

It was such a relief when the phone call came and our refund check is in. Oh my goodness a big weight has been lifted off our shoulders. We can finally get caught up on everything and also pay a month ahead. It feels so good to be out of repo status and clear of the stress. Now that we have an income coming in each month, we feel more comfortable and stress free. That was a big eye opener for us. We don't ever want to feel that way again.

When you have a plan, stick to it, once you start to steer away, things can get hard. Luckily my husband and I worked as a team and supported one another instead of bringing more problems to the table. Everything worked out and it brought us closer together. We realize things that we have been lacking both in our relationship and with our kids. Things you don't notice start to pop up. The last two weeks have been such a learning experience. We can finally get back on track and focus on all the important things.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day!!

Training all Week....

I have been in training all week and my mind feels jumbled. But it's nothing that I haven't done before. It's just learning about policies and procedures and how the system works. I have two more days of training and next week is the final test for me in the office by myself, only for two days, I think. It's just hard to be away from my kids, I'm so use to being with them all day. But my honey is my stay at home dad and he is holding down the fort just fine. Daddy is doing a great job. He just didn't realize how hard it is. But i'm proud of him and my kids love that daddy is home now, before they would cry when he had to leave for work. School is going..just going..lol. It's hard to discipline yourself when you don't have to be in class, but it's also good training for the up coming semesters. Have to get back to work then sleep and start a brand new day. Have a wonderful weekend.

Back on Track

Wonderful Day, I got the job and I start on Monday. Yey me...lol. Not to much going on, just doing homework and trying to comment of blogs, which is hard when there is no blog and no place to post a comment. So hopefully I still get a good grade..lol. This entry is short, maybe tomorrow I can write more. Have a Good Night and a Good Weekend.

Relief..finally..lol

Good Morning, Ya'tah'hey Abiini. All this week it's been homework, homework and now I'm all caught up, Finally. My husband and I received our books late and had some catching up to do. Nothing much has been going on with our family. Just work and school, we had some snow the other day which was nice. We drove around Colorado Springs and took pictures to email to my family. I've been helping my sister find a job, good luck to her. Oh I finally hung pictures up in our home, it feels more like home now. I'll post pictures up when I can. But right now, just entering comments in blogs. Take care everyone and have a good day.

Busy with Homework

This morning I woke up with such a stiff back, it still hurts like crazy. But anyway, I well be very busy today and probably through out the weekend. So this might be my last post until Monday, hopefully sooner then that. But right now I really don't have much going on, just school and homework. So everyone else take care and good luck on your homework as well. Have a good weekend.

I don't like waiting...

I have a job interview today and I'm kind of nerves. I also had one yesterday and they are suppose to be calling me today. Let's see who will pay the most and how many hours I will work, then I will choose. Moving to a new place is always nerve racking to find a job. Wish me luck.

Getting to know Me

Hello, my name is Lehua. I am a returning student to United Tribes Technical College. I received my Certificate in Business and Office Technology with Medical emphasis, in May 2006. I always new that I wanted to further my education and now is the time. My majors are Medical Coding/Terminology and Health Information Technology.

I have a wonderful Husband that I am very proud of, he served in the Army for 5yrs. He was stationed in Ft. Hood, TX, Korea and was deployed to Iraq. We have two beautiful children, Kaitlen 6 and Chapa 2. We live in Colorado Springs, Colorado, we moved here after Christmas. We love it, it's a big change from Kirtland, my hometown, before then we lived in Killeen, Texas, Ft. Hood Army Base.

My goals during and after receiving my degrees are to work from home, to have the ability to leave when my family needs me, to be home when my children get out of school and to still be able to provide for them financially.

I was raised in a strong family oriented home, with both parents and eight siblings. As a child and teenager, church was very important, it has taught me the importance of family values. Our family has grown so much, my dad and mom are proud grandparents of six grandchildren, five girls and one boy, ages range from 14-2yrs old. My son is the only grandson and is very spoiled by his grandparents.

My favorite hobbies are reading (favorite author VC Andrews), scrapbooking (i'm a beginner), cooking, baking, crocheting, quilting (they make wonderful gifts), and photography.

Moving to a new location is always difficult, adjusting is the hardest. Kaitlen is still having trouble getting out of bed in the morning for school, but she loves the half day kindergarten and riding the bus. She is always wanting to learn new things and is curious about everything, you will always see her with a notebook and pencil. She likes to dress up, put on make up and walk around in my heels. She loves watching the Disney channel, she likes Hannah Montana and The Jonas Brothers. She is excited about starting Kempo Karate and can't wait until Spring Break, when her grandparents will come visit. Our son Chapa is our fun, off the wall energetic, trouble making, then loveable, cutie of a terrible two year old. He always keep us on our toes and in full alert 24/7. He is learning to pick up after himself, we are in the process of potty training (very difficult, girls are easier), he has learned not to be so messy during dinner time. He is talking so so much and he loves to be read to at bedtime. My husband an I have been together for six wonderful years, we met on the internet and have been inseparable since then. We want a big family, maybe three or four more children. We hope to make Colorado Springs our home. We do have family near us which is wonderful, my husbands sister and my sister. So we are not to far from home.
