A poem

My Play
by Bonsie, age 5

Make a choice
for your voice.
Cuz you're going to be
in my story.
The frog that lives
in the log.
The bee that lives
in the tree.
The sky up high.




I'm not sure what it means. But I love it anyway :-)

I'm going back to school!

I'm taking a correspondence course towards my BA in English. The plan was that I'd do the online learning thing and work part time for as long as it took to get my degree. I do have a college diploma...but I've always felt like something was missing and have wanted to go back to school for years! Anyway, this plan would work if I didn't mind it taking me 10 years to get my degree! I'm not a young woman, for cripes sakes. So, I talked it over with hubby and he agreed that if I can get the funding, I will enroll in the three year program at our local university. I'll still have to work three days a week but I'll be done school a lot sooner. I'm excited. And scared. As anyone who reads this blog can attest, I can barely form coherent sentences sometimes!

Yikes!

NaNoWriMo

Ever heard of this? November is National Novel Writing Month and the idea is everybody who signs up writes a novel of at least 50,000 words in November! It's crazy! Could be fun...

Let's talk about something else for awhile.

Next year, Bones and Berio will both be in school full time. I work part time and that part time work includes evenings and weekends. So, there may be entire weeks that go by where I will be alone in the house for the whole day. I know I'm not supposed to wish time away, but can I just say, I'm reeeeeally looking forward to that? I have visions of me dropping the girls off at school and taking a morning walk or bike ride. Coming home, having a shower without someone knocking on the door because they have to pee (even though we do have another bathroom...), cleaning and organizing my house, working on my correspondence courses, and maybe developing one of the many hobbies I have.

Maybe I'm imagining it will be better than it actually will. Probably, I am. But this little dream keeps me going on the days where it feels like everybody wants a piece of me.

A vent. Don't even read it.

Still here...kind of.

My husband was out of town for a month. My daughters are acting like rowdy little boys lately. I've been working. I'm taking a correspondence course towards my degree. I'm busy. I'm tired.

I'll be back.

Nothing to see here...

Shy Girl commented yesterday "the day doesn't end at lunch." Let me tell you, it would have better if if it had!
