Man, this was a crazy week!! I have a reminder on my calendar set to pop up every Tuesday and remind me to post my blog. This week I needed it and I still didn't do it until today.
Last weekend my boyfriend and I went to a friends vow renewal reception party (yea, type that 10 times fast). I got food poisoning. I'd never had food poisoning before and let me tell you, when your insides are trying to become your outsides there comes a point when you start to curse chicken. On Sunday, even though I was a sickie we had to go to a friends for dinner. We had put it off one already and just needed to get it done. Then on Monday when I woke up I was having a lot of trouble breathing. By Tuesday I had to drag myself to the doctor for a formal diagnosis of Bronchitis. On Thursday I hosted a Pampered Chef Party and had 13 women in my house. That doesn't even count all of the kids running around. On Friday when I woke up I was so sick I thought I was gonna die. I could only stay at work for 1/2 a day before I had to leave. Saturday we had company over for dinner and Sunday we went to church. So, let me see...1 week and food poisoning, bronchitis, pampered chef party, 1 wedding reception, 2 parties over for dinner, , church, full time job, 3 college classes and a kid. That is why I didn't manage to get any homework done until Sunday. I'm sure anyone would understand.

One day at a time
Another week is gone. Every week I find myself begging Friday to hurry and come. Yet, there are times that when another Friday has come and gone I realize I have lost another week of my life. Sounds morbid, right? But really, it's true. And why is it that when I look back over the past week it seems like I haven't actually accomplished anything. When I look back over the past month it feels like I haven't actually accomplished anything. However, when I look back over the past year, I think that I have managed to accomplish a few things. Why is it that the most important things in life take so long!! Going to school, for example. Planning my education has been a lesson in patience. I can't graduate after going to school for a semester. Working full time and going to school is going to drag out my AA for 3 years. THREE YEARS!! I waited so long to go back to school and now I feel like I am going to be doing it for a long time. I guess nothing important can be done in a day. I have to live one day at a time and stop trying to rush things.

Survived the first week
The first week back at school was a little bit crazy. I had to move, do three classes worth of homework assignments, full time job and help my kiddo with her stuff. Luckily I have an amazing boyfriend who jumped right in to help the kiddo with her homework and get her ready for bed. And since I moved most of the week he got stuck doing most of the housework. He never complained once. I, however, complained a lot. But I did survive. So I'm thinking that if I can survive the insanity that was last week, the rest of the semester should be cake. Ha ha ha!!!
I had to do math homework. MATH!!! Argh!!! I hate math. That is why I have a calculator. And when do I ever really use integers anyway? I know that if I put $500 in my bank account and then spend $524, I am in the negative. I don't really need integers to figure that out. But I did it. I did complain a lot though.
The people in my Lit. class are all pretty intelligent people. We had to read some short stories and do a quick write up about them. When I was reading the write ups some of the other students did I felt like mine should really read: "Uh, like, I think that Gilman and Boyle, like totally rite reel good. I think that they are sooper smart and stuff. When I was like trying to comp…compre…comprehend what they was sayin’ I started getten confused. That one gurl, Gilman, she rites about some stuff that happint to a gurl who was reel sad. Then that other guy, Boyle, he rited about a boy who likd a gurl and did some stuff he didn’t think he was sipposed two." And too think that all this time I thought I was smart. But I did it. I did complain a lot though.
Now I am going to go and complain about how I had to try and think up funny stuff for this blog and people just got bored anyway. :-)

My very first blog
So, here is the first blog I have ever written. Bored yet?
I am making the leap back into college and my classes start today. Well, in theory anyway. I am taking only online classes. I am hoping that since I work full time and am a mom the online classes will integrate nicely with my schedule. I guess we'll see how it goes. I haven't been to school in over 12 years. I look at it as I did 12 years on, then 12 years off. Hopefully, I don't have another 12 years to go. Whew.
Why did I decide to go back to school, you ask? Well, I think I went through mid-life crisis. My 30th birthday was coming up and I realized that I was not happy with all of the things I had not accomplished. And since I want my daughter to realize the importance of a good education I figure that I can't push her to excel in her life when I haven't excelled in mine. So, voila, college student.
Okay, that is the end of my first blog. This was just a baby blog, but perhaps I will write longer ones once I have grown comfortable with this public diary thing.
