A Week’s Worth of Posts

I should really be in bed right now… But I’m not, so I might as well blog about it.
I’ve been extremely busy lately. (Surprise, surprise.) Just the usual: working, being a mom, college, church, family stuff, household chores (sometimes), etc. I’m worn out. Right now I’m to the point that I just don’t feel like [...]

school, school, and more school

Tonight there really isn’t any rhyme or reason to my post. I’ve been a bad blogger, but I’ve been trying to juggle so many things. So here are a few random things from my life recently… Wow, an hour ago, when I was driving home from a movie, I had twenty different things I wanted [...]

Hello?

Is there anyone left?  Sorry guys.  I’ve been crazy busy. 

School starts next week and the Financial Aid office keeps asking for more and more stuff. 
I had to take Shiloh to the dermatologist (out of town) on Tuesday, because she has this big spot on her face that has been there for three months now. 
And no, this [...]

I Need A Break!

July has been a weird month for me.  Nothing extremely big or exciting going on, but it just feels different somehow.  I don’t think I’ve been in bed before 1am (sometimes later) all month, so that could be part of my problem. 
I’ve been tired.  I’ve had a hard time focusing on anything.  I’ve gotten behind [...]

Things Currently Keeping Me From Blogging

Applying for financial aid.  (a.k.a. Searching through piles of papers for tax records, etc.)
Stressing about the PRAXIS exam I’ll have to take to get in the education program.  I’ve been out of school way too long!
Relearning Algebra before I start classes in the fall.  (My brain is mush.)
Working on about ten loads of laundry.  (You [...]

WW: Saturday

Last weekend it was just me and Shiloh at the house.  We spent most of the morning being lazy. 
 
Then Shiloh helped me wash my car. 
 
In the afternoon we went to my cousin’s house and the girls played.  This is Ashlynn and Shiloh walking down to the lake.

For more Wordless Wednesday go here.  For more Wordful [...]

This & That

So… I don’t have much to blog about (or that I can blog about) today, but I’m ready to put up a different post, and forget the last one.  I’m so so so glad it’s Friday!  I don’t have many plans this weekend, but that’s a good thing after last weekend’s craziness and all the [...]

The “Perfect” Mother

I’ve decided that the “perfect mom” is some mythical creature that no one has ever seen or can hope to become.  Right up there with unicorns and elves and fairies.  (Don’t tell Shiloh that fairies aren’t real.  She’ll be heartbroken.) 
The thing is, ever since Shiloh was born, I’ve been trying so hard to do everything [...]

Work and Home

Yesterday Shiloh’s preschool closed at 4pm (normally it’s 5:30pm) because of flooding in the area.  That meant I had to skip my lunch break so I could leave work early. 
It was so nice getting home at 4pm!  I had time to cook dinner without rushing and Shiloh wasn’t starving so she was content to watch [...]

Writer’s Workshop

The Prompts:
1.) Who really helped you get over something? Write about that person.
2.) Is plastic surgery an option? Without being vulgar, write about the body part still attached to you that you would most like to dis-attach and replace with a better one.
3.) Share an interesting email exchange you’ve had with someone lately.
4.) Have you [...]
