As I sit here at my computer, having no idea what to blog about, I think about the fact that we are nearly half way through the semester already!! Hallelujah! School started on August 30th and we're already in the second week of October! Time really flies when you're busy and making things happen! Aside from school though, what else am I doing with my life? There are so many things that I want to accomplish, rather, need to accomplish and I feel like I'm moving in slow motion. This saying is cliched but I really do feel like every time I take one step forward, something pulls me two steps backward. As a student, and as an adult period, life is constantly handing you lemons and making you decide whether to be sour or to make lemonade. And, to be honest, sometimes I choose to be sour. I'm working at it. I want to be better. I know that with time, determination, and perseverance, I'll be able to work through my problems and attain the things I want out of life, large & small. For now, though, I have to take the good with the bad and try to stir up some lemonade. And, what doesn't kill you, will only make you stronger, right? I'll take that as a yes...

I tried commenting from my phone but it wouldn't post so here I am....HANG IN THERE Rain. I'm taking only one class and struggling to settle into the idea of being back in school. Then with a son, a step-son in high school, a husband, working full-time, having one and a half cars (don't even ask why it's half a car !!!!), it is hard. i should reading and don't. I'm worried about the next 55 credits I need to take. I fear change and this is change for me. and the step forward, knock back two....I know that all too well !!
Araina,
Very inspirational. It can be tough at times but the way I always look at it is how happy I will be once I have accomplished everything.
Charlene,
Thanks for being so determined to comment on my entry. You juggle so much more on your plate than I do but I think we equally understand and deal with the weight of it all. School mixed in with life can be very stressful and trying sometimes, but I'm definitely in it for the long haul. I keep telling myself to take everything one day at a time. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better than the day before, and if not, I'll deal with it in its time.
LJ,
Thank you so much. It is most certainly tough at times but having a good support system is essential to getting through these trying times. I know I'll be ecstatic once I'm finally finished!
Araina,
No problem! :)
I'll be happy to take one class, one less reading and writing to do!
Charlene, it is hard work, lol! You are doing great and I don't know how I can juggle all those roles! My friend is also married, have two young children, working, volunteering, and taking four classes. He showed me his schedule, I was like hey you going overboard and you exploding any day now. By week four, he told me he can't do it, kept shaking his head. I said let's talk about it. He felt a little better. Still he's truckin' along as usual actually stressing out every minute. I suppose he's high maintenance, lol, I wonder if he knows any better!
Life in the fast lane...you make what you can and that's about it. Always room for improvement.
