Just the facts




peeking shyly into the blogosphere…

Hi. This blog is deserted! My fault. Let me give you the facts of life for Sheri right now:

  • Graduate school. Or I should say GRADUATE SCHOOL!  I am taking two classes this semester, and one of them has been known to cause people to drop out and never come back, its that hard. And time consuming. I dream about dropping out, but that’s why I waited til my third semester to take this class; I’ve got too much invested in this dream to drop out now.
  • Snow days. My kids have been out of school practically more than they’ve been in school since the first of January. The first few snow days were fun; after that, not so much fun as miserable. And as soon as the weather improved:
  • Sickness. My family cannot get well. We finally recovered from the swine flu epidemic, then Nolan got sick last weekend. My husband was taking the kids to Kansas so I could get some work done on my massive school project, but instead I stayed home with the sick boy. Now I am sick. Never fails.
  • Busy-ness. How can a family with only two kids be so stinkin busy? Band concerts, piano contests, school dances, shopping to be done for clothes to wear to the school dances, because we apparently don’t do “semi-formal” in real life. And the best part: Every single activity/event/concert/contest/campout/field trip costs money, yay!
  • Since we’re talking about money, I have to mention: Doctor visits. Prescriptions. Lab tests. ‘Nuff said.
  • The winter slump has hit me hard. I don’t want to do anything, especially not anything that resembles required reading, research, citations, or attending class. Whoops, thats my whole life. What do I want to do? I want to eat ginormous amounts of baked goods, which I want someone else to prepare for me. I want to lie on the couch in a clean living room, one without tissues and medicine all over the tables. I want my house to be cleaned by someone besides me (but lets be honest, its been awhile since I’ve cleaned it). Am I asking too much, really?

So, there you have it. Blog = back burner. Actually, anything I truly enjoy = back burner right now. I am trying to write down post ideas as I have them, and I do have them, because I miss writing and having a life to write about. I keep reminding myself, I chose this, and the accompanying craziness of having a family and going back to school. Maybe I didn’t willingly choose the sickness part; that was buried in the fine print, but I chose the rest of it.

I will find my way back here to post regularly again, hopefully soon. I will conquer my schoolwork and my messy house, and maybe I’ll even bake something for myself and read a book for fun. Eventually.

Who else has a crazy life right now?
