Gosh, tonight I'm struggling with the entire wishing for the dream, the fairytale thing.  I'm trying to keep myself grounded in reality.  Of course, I know why.  It's been a quiet week.  Daughter...

A recent thread really got me to thinking about my own competitive traits.  I really just have a jumble of thoughts, but thought I would type them on out.  My main memories from childhood include...

I took a couple of weeks off from pretty much everything.  Been enjoying some down time before I start the next session of summer classes and pretty much have just been completely lame and useless...

So, I get up at the crack of dawn on too little sleep, as usual.  I have an Arabic quiz that I'm not at all ready for, and it's neuter day for the pups!  We don't have enough gas to go around, so...

Still no job, but hanging in there.  Pulling myself up out of the feel sorry for myself moment once again.  One of the dance teachers who just started last week is interested in me getting the...

I am not really sure what has been up with me.  I just haven't felt good.  Thought maybe I had an infection or fever from a tick bite or I don't know.  Maybe it is just hormonal fluxuation.  Or...

Well, starting yesterday morning...a had an early morning call from the principal.  My son got yet another Saturday school - for a thrown basketball hitting a kid.  Okay.  Then later that day, I...

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...
