I have been doing some thinking, bloggy friends. Thinking about what do I really accomplish on this blog? I'll tell you what I do get done, a lot of blabbing about nothing, and that suits me fine. I follow quite a few blogs, some are themed, some are not. I like them both. A theme is good, but I'm going to tell you, once you go with one, you are expected to keep it up. Therefore, I am glad to be "themeless".

Themeless item #1.

The other day I was sitting at my computer (shock) doing, you guessed it, homework (bigger shock) and Morgan comes up to me and says, "Hold still". Never in my life has "Hold still" been followed by anthing good. Example: "Hold still, you have a bug in your hair", "Hold still, it will only hurt for a minute" (which is usually a total lie by the way), "Hold still if you move the building is going to collapse". You get my drift....so this particular one was followed by the plucking of the largest grey hair I have ever laid eyes upon. Now, I won't pretend that it's the first grey hair that has ever graced my head, but it's the first one I have looked at up close. Like I said, never good.

Themeless item #2

This only amplifies that I am pretty sure I am the oldest person in my Chemistry class, possibly including my professor. That's right, while I was sitting on my rear end, this kid was getting his PhD.

So, this is it. Life is good. For the first time in a while, life is good.

Surprise!!

So.....do you ever have your plans all laid out for yourself and then, all of a sudden they change and you are left in a panic? That's me. In a panic.

I was planning on having the entire month of May off. No school, good times. I was going to clean my entire house, and when I say clean, I mean clean. Like washing curtains, moving furniture, dusing ceiling fans kind of cleaning. I was also going to pace myself. I was coming up with the nice little calendar so that I could get a little done every day, and still have time to sew, blog, and well, sit on my butt. It was going to be glorious. I was going to cook dinner for my kids. I was NOT going to be setting my alarm clock for 3 a.m. to switch out my laundry because I didn't have time to do it during the day. Glorious, I tell ya.

Well, things change. It will be glorious no more. JSU was really yanking my chain (to put it nicely) about taking Chemistry at another school. They could not guarantee that they would honor the credits because I already have credit for the lab portion, and basically told me that it would be evaluated upon re-admittance. That was a chance I wasn't willing to take, if they decided NOT to transfer my credits, I would have to wait until January to start nursing school.

So, as of tomorrow, this will be my new home until June 16th.



I guess the upside would be that I am going to get it over with....but honestly I can think of more downsides at the moment....like having dirty curtains for another few months. It will also overlap with my spanish class, and I will have about a week after summer classes to prepare for nursing
school. It's going to be hectic. It's gonna stink. I have decided I need a manny. Maybe he will look like this.



He will wash the dishes.



He will do laundry.

He will cook dinner.


He will take care of the kids.

And yes, he will rub my feet.


Maybe it won't be so bad.
