Almost complete

So, construction is nearly completed here on my blog thanks to Mija, who I can't link for some reason because I'm to lame to remember how to do it. However, she designed this great layout for me and I searched for a long time to find a picture that I liked and when I saw this one, I knew it was the one, even though I can't see it on my own website I have been assured it was there.

Thank you Mija, you did a stunning job, I am so happy with it.

I have not been around because my financial aide came through for my schooling and I was tossed right into doing assignments. I have literally spent every single free waking moment doing homework. Sacrificing my blog, my games, my movies, and well, everything but my kids.

Thankfully it is already paying off as my first round of scores came back from two classes and I am getting an A+ in both. Let's see if I can maintain that for the rest of the semester. It will be a huge boost for my self esteem if I finish these classes with all A's, although I will be satisfied with B's.

Kids have had some kind of stomach bug, so for two days, amidst trying desperately to prepare for a test and complete assignments, I have been cleaning up after them and trying to comfort them. I don't think anyone likes to throw up, but I cry when I do and my kids are just like me. So off I run to hold their hair and rub their backs. It's about all the comfort I can offer to the situation, though it seems to be fading now.

Work is the same; always busy doing much of nothing. They did lay off a manager, the official reason was cutbacks, however, I don't really buy that since only one was let go and he was the least, productive shall we say. He is friendly as all hell, just not productive.

So, little by little I am starting to pull things together. I want to find a routine that will allow me to do all the things I want to do and all the things I have to do, and somehow find some time to breathe. Not sure it is possible, might have to cut back on some stuff, but we'll see if practice really does make perfect.
