The End of It All

So, this is my last blog for this class. I will probably keep my blog however, as I have been following a couponing blog of my friends. I feel that I did not take my writing as seriously this term, due to outside forces. I wish I would have. I scored great on my final paper, but not perfect, and I think that I would have if I wouldn't have polished it at the last minute. Rewriting for me is a process and I cut that process short this time. The only person I cheated was myself.

Almost done

I have been super stressed lately. I feel extremely overwhelmed and with two final papers due on Tues I don't think this week will be any better. I'm almost done with my paper but it is not quite what I want yet. There are still quotes I need to find and some rewording I need to do before I am happy with what I will turn in. My paper for my other class, sorry to say, hasn't even been started yet and it is 7-10 pages. I need to get in gear and start getting things done. Today is my day off work but I still have dishes to do, laundry to get done, a trip to pick up my son's t ball schedule, and a work meeting at 4 that is mandatory. I wish my off days were really days off, not just days I cram more stuff into.

Whew, wish me luck at getting everything done.

I don't have issues I have subscriptions

While working on my final paper I have had time really making my words pop. This isn't usually a problem for me but I think I have been a little distracted this term. My family life has not necessarily been hectic, but more demanding. I have not allotted as much time as I usually do to work on writing projects. I work day shift now and even though I only work 7 hours they are very fast paced and exhausting. I have been coming home from work, spending time with my son, and then falling asleep around 9:30pm, just to get up and do it all over again the next day. That doesn't include cooking dinner, doing laundry, spending time with my fiancee, or even watching tv. I feel very worn out and drained a lot of the time.

Thank you Justin

My Ah Ha moment was all thanks to Justin. I was unsure where I should go with my writing when Justin cleverly pointed out that he is not afraid just lazy and that people feel they have no time to relax.

AH HA!!!!!!

I have heard people time and again say that they don't have time to do anything. When really they don't normally have their priorities in order. You need to make time for the important things in life, family, friends, love, health, the things you enjoy. If you spend every moment of the day doing things you hate then one day you will hate yourself. What is going to happen if you don't answer a phone call? It will surely go to voicemail, leaving you a while to enjoy yourself with what you love. You can always call them back. And if they don't answer, well, they are probably out getting ice cream with their kids enjoying their life as well. If not, tell them to.

Looking back

The past six weeks have held many things for me. My last name finally changed back to my maiden name, I gained sole custody of my son, and I became a Reiki practitioner. I recently received my Reiki I certificate. : ) I'm very proud of myself and the things I have accomplished. However, my fiancee is still looking for a job, and there is never really enough money. But I try not to worry about money. You either have it or you don't. If you do, you argue about what to do with it. If you don't, you argue about why not. Things like that aren't really worth it to me. Other than that I have just been working, school, and being a mom. I have read several books and I started playing God of War III on PS3.

It's awesome. Check it out.
