Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

I don’t know how I ever used to work full time. I’ve either gotten old or lazy (or both!) because working part time and going to school part time is KILLING ME. Seriously, I don’t know how I used to do it before kids.
I have class three nights a week for four hours each night, and I work before class on those same days plus some Saturdays. That still gives me three days off, plus some Saturdays. On paper, it looks like a piece of cake. So why is this so hard?
First of all, my house. It’s a mess. I have a basket of clay covered pants that’s not washing itself. Then there’s my yard project that’s not getting done. The five yards of gravel sitting in my driveway isn’t moving itself. I kept the boys home from school AGAIN today, just because I miss them so much. Yeah, that’s not good.
The dogs aren’t getting enough exercise. I’m not getting enough exercise. I’m too exhausted on my days off to do much of anything. And let’s not even get into how exhaustion factors into the whole baby-making thing.
Working will get easier, right? I’m just out of practice. Right???
The good news is that you’re graduating in December. Yippee!
Sure…….easier. Let me know how that goes. I realized today how un-social I have become during my lunch hour (literally and hour). It seems to be my only alone time. I don’t give it up for really anything. Someone will come by and be like “hey we are going here for lunch, do you want to join us”. I think to myself are you and all those other people going to be there. Um “Not so much thanks”.
Ozzilyn is right at least you are done with school in December. I wasn’t sure the day would come and it isn’t too far off. Keep pluggin’ you’ll get there. Miss ya.
Yes, this is true. I will graduate in December. If I don’t DIE FIRST.
It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
