I realize it has been a very long time since I have posted. And I apologize for that. But I have been crazy overwhelmed. Like whoa.
Between working part-time, going to school full-time, and taking care of Katy and Mike (yes, hubbies need to be taken care of, too), I am exhausted.
The good news is that my express class will be finished as of about 11am on Friday. That's when I should be done with my final exam. I am incredibly stoked about this. Beyond stoked, even. Ecstatic. Joyful. Beyond description (even though I kind of just described it - but those words simply do not do the feeling justice).
The bad news is that I think I may end up with a B. Oh, boo hoo, a B. You know what "B" stands for? Big Baby.
Yes, I know. A B certainly is not bad. However, it mars my 4.0 GPA. And I suppose I can deal with that. But it's a disappointment. I was hoping that I could maintain my 4.0 so I could get into a great 4-year without any trouble at all. I still don't think I'll have trouble, but a B casts a shadow of a doubt. And I don't want people to doubt me.

In other news, we have some exciting prospects on the horizon. For one, I'm beginning a new blog.
Whoa, what? You can hardly keep up with this one!
Yes, BUT the new one will be treated much more like a job because, well, I'm hoping it will help me get one.
I've always wanted to be a writer. I write a little bit (short stories, beginnings of novels - seriously, I think I've started like 20 novels in the last 5 years), but I want to make writing more than just something I'm taking a stab at. I want it to be what I do (besides be a teacher, of course). So this blog is going to be writing exercises and short stories and whatnot. (Of course, if you follow this blog fairly well, you already saw one writing exercise - that was before I realized I shouldn't integrate the themes of the two blogs).
So watch for a post about that blog - of course, you could theoretically head over there now, but I don't recommend it. You won't be impressed.
Exciting news number two is that Mike and I are toying with the idea of me quitting work. It is something we have been praying about and, if you're the praying kind, something that I'd like to request that you pray about as well. We don't really know if I should quit, but it's something that's up in the air. The main reason being that between everything that I'm doing, there's bound to eventually be some failure somewhere, especially once school becomes quite serious. And, in all honesty, the two areas that I refuse to fail are with Katy and with school. Work is simply work. It puts a little extra money in the bank account, but really, that's about all it does. Some days I feel like it's sucking my soul straight out of me. Other days I quite enjoy it. So that's on the table as well.
Aaaand I think that's about all I have for you today!
I'll leave you with these totes adorable pictures of Miss Katy!
Someone needs a haircut, no?
Rockin' on her dinosaur - that she rides around on backwards.
