After enforcing a complete strike, the kids finally got it and we made it through about half of the spring cleaning.  In the end, I found this a fitting analogy to life right now and how I'm...

I finished my finals today.  I am happy and it went better than I expected.  It's a pretty day and I got to even make an Arabic joke and say that I turned too-many-ah today (close to the number 8...

Just one more little thing and the semester is done. So far, all A's and I'm proud. It's just that I can feel the winding down, like it will be hard to muster thru the last little moment. It's been...

I'm almost over the hurdle!!  The two hardest written exams are complete (Arabic and Cultural Anthro).  I'm not too worried about Sociology, as my professor said, I can likely get a D on the final...

A more in depth email from the N (supply must really be running low on that end).  I almost went through the floor laughing!  He went on and on about Oscar Wilde and the story.  He said he...

So, I got another email from the N.  He congratulated me again on how well I did on the speech (did his friend that was there really rush and tell him that I did this wonderful speech?? I doubt...

Tonight, I just want to thank everyone who has been here over the last few years of craziness, depression and recovery.  My family that has made sure I don't fall through a crack into riding the bus...

Looks like I may actually see the sun again on Friday??  Our house is thankfully at higher elevation, but it took hours to get the kids home today, they closed the university this afternoon because...

I'm still feeling at an impasse a bit.  Life is moving on.  I had a big Arabic test today (yes, only 2 days after the speech!!) and did okay, it was also not my best.  I think I am on Arabic...

I feel like I have been away soooo much this week.  I know I've posted here and there and wrote in my journal, but it's been crazy busy! I almost backed out on doing my Arabic speech because I...

I had a quick dinner with my cousin tonight.  This made me wonder, what is one's lot in life?  Is it karma, and what comes around, does it always go around?  Or is this some b.s. that just keeps...

This is try two - as my huge journal last night got lost in cyberspace!!  I am glad, though, because I was able to read Pageo's post today and it really related to the original journal and helped a...

My daughter has started to do more activities with her new boyfriend.  This is great!  I am happy for her, but I have discovered that her boyfriend lives right across the street from the N.  Her...
