Well today I did absoloutly nothing regarding school, till now!
It was soooooooooo amazing. I went to church, did some chores and then went to a bridal shower for a dear friend who is getting married on the 19th. I hope that spring break will bring everybody a sense of relief and renewed energy. I know that I could.

Sadie Rose
Every semester I have used my nieces to to help me with my homework, but this semester Sadie Rose has been my ultimate guinea pig. She just turned 5 in February and is the perfect age for all of these assignments that I need to complete for Emergent Lit. I have so much fun, and I think that she does too, well I know that she likes getting a cookie or a hot chocolate out of it!
Yesterday was different, and our time together lasted longer then usual. I pick her up after school and then I get to have her till 3. So two hours of just us. I love it. Well yesterday was Ash Wednesday, so lent had officially started so there is no cookies or hot cocoa and Sadie was fine. We went to a different place to do our work, the Panhandle State Bank. This is a huge building in Sandpoint, built a few years ago and when you walk in there is a very nice fountain, and Sadie loved it. We had a blast reading books by the water, she also loved going in and out of the moving doors. (the ones that go in circles) We accomplished our reading then moved on to our next stop. Home, well my home Grandma and Grampas. We made a fire, she got to bunch up paper and use the long match to light the paper and it started right away! Then we cuddled up stairs and watched a movie. It was so much fun.
When it was time to go to mass for Ash Wednesday, Sadie let me hold her for most of the mass! I just love it. She is such a little snuggle Bunnie, well all of the girls are but Sadie does it so well. And I know that I won't be able to hold her much longer for she is getting so big. I treasure the hours that I get to spend with each of the girls for I know when I was growing up spending time with an Aunt or Uncle by yourself was really special. I just lover her to death and am so thankful that I have her to help me with my homework or else I would be sunk.

The Library
Today was a good day. I was off of work by 11, went to the health club, back home to pick up all my messes and then onward to the library for I knew that I would get distracted at home. I had a plan of what I wanted to get accomplished while I was here today and am a little dissapointed. The internet wasn't working so
I couldn't log on for over half an hour on my own computer. Now I don't know about you guys but when I get into my LCSC accounts it opens up 4 new windows and takes for ever. Now just imaninge doing that on a public computer with slow internet........................yep it was super.
I was able to download one of my assignments onto a flash drive and then work with it in window. I almost had it completed but they are now giving me the 'last call' for the library is closing so I decided to do my post instead.
Like I said Today was a good day. Oh and I voted!
Looking forward to tomorrow where I will be in a middle school :)

Sunshine!!!!
My long lost friend has come out to play. Mr. Sunshine!!! It was so great to wake up to him streaming through my windows, I know that I wanted to be out in it today. So I called up one of my friends and we went out to coffee, Then sat on the Library deck for three hours talking and soaking up the rays of vitiman D.
It was so awesome. So beautiful. So right. I am now back in my apartment, going to get a start on the never ending pile of homework. I wish that the sun would stay, but I know that it is going to go and hide again. Till then I have to be content with what I get.

Skype
Well today I woke up early and had this great plan of compleating the homeowrk that I am still behind in when I notice that my family is on skype. So exciting. I don't get to talk to them very often because of the 9 hour time difference. Kelly just got home from school it is (5pm in Italy) and is starting to get things out for dinner when John ( My brother who is deployed gets on skpye!) This is great we can have a conference call with the three of us for free when we are all on different continents. John is two hours a head of Italy so it is 7 pm there. So here we have a three way conversation, at three different times, at three different continents. It is great.
Mom and Steve soon get home ( in Italy) so now there are 5 Omodts talking.
Oh how I miss the business and chaos of a big family. I love having four different conversations at the dinner table and being able to follow each one. This was almost like it, but I was sipping my morning coffee instead of eating dinner. We talked for over an hour! It is amazing how much you can say to each other.
So I want to Thank the person who came up with Skype. For I would never be able to afford a call overseas for a minute let alone for an hour. So thank you for connecting me to my family.

Blah
I'm sitting here at the library trying to do my homework that was due yesterday. Once again I have no motivation. I have recently just gotten over being sick for over two weeks and was so excited to be well again. when Bam, now I have something else. I feel like a little kid that wants their mommy to give them 7-up and Popsicle.
If only time could stand still. Then I could accomplish so much. I could get better, get caught up, and maybe even ahead!
Well with winter still here full board, I am just going to take it one step at a time, and wait for the sunshine.

Scholarships!
Holy smokes! Who would have thought that writing a 250 word essay would be so difficult? Not me. But when money is at stake, it is good to make sure to do it right.
I had picked up the scholarship packet in January, thinking that I have tons of time to fill out the 4 page application. Well last night, I found it on my table under a pile of books that I want to read and of course the deadline is March 1st!
Well I start to fill it out and think that this is easy, when I read about the essay. 250 is not a lot, and trying to really get the point across is difficult. So who do I call but my Dad to help me. He is a genius when it comes to editing, but I couldn't get a hold of him. So I went to the next best thing. My sister and brother-in-law. Having two of them may have not been the best idea, but after a few hours we finally figured out what sounded good. So now I am off to drop off my packet to see if I am awarded scholarships!!! lets hope so for loans suck.
