Yesterday

All my troubles seemed so far away . . .

That's not what I'm here to talk about.  Not exactly.

Yesterday I only had one morning class to go to—Flexibility class.  And then I got to be home for the whole rest of the day!  I rallied my troops and we got the house fabulously clean.  I made a nice lunch for us (and cleaned the kitchen again).  I went grocery shopping. I made a fabulous dinner of lasagna and no-knead bread and fruit.  We all relaxed together in the evening.  It was a fantastic day! I was totally in my element.

I like my classes at school; I like learning new things.  But it's starting to feel like a part-time job.  If I commit to go to school for four months, then I get a PELL grant that will help pay a few bills (after I buy books and school supplies). 

I miss redecorating my kitchen (which still isn't finished); I still want to pound out my fireplace and redo it.  I feel totally out of the loop with my kids and their school. I think I'd rather be a mom than a student.  So I should quit school.

But I do like what I'm learning.  And what kind of example do I give my kids if I drop out of school?  So I should stay in school.

Aaaaaarghhhh!  My mind spins!

Just one more week of summer semester, and then a two-week break.  Maybe when school is ready to start back up for fall I will know what I want.  :-) 

Thanks for "listening."
