Hi Beep,

Thanks...... It is that streak in me that needs for me to do well - one wrong still rankles though. I've been gone since 9/23 - I try to get home at least once a week to see Alex, so I've been around but not very much. I have made sure though that I will be home two days next week, not in a row, which kills me on gas but there are parent/teacher conferences and then Halloween.........if I don't take Alex trick or treating my husband won't - he refuses to go unless I am there and make him walk with Alex and I. And there is no way I would miss a conference to see how he is doing in school.

Actually, math was one of my favorite subjects in school. Senior year I took two math courses. Geometry is fun, as is trig and calc. It would take me a few to get back on track, but it would be fun.

You taking courses? That's wonderful. I always wanted to finish the degree I started in college, just haven't been able to go back.
