Misc. #2 Well I am sitting here trying to get all of my home work done when it hits me, I havew one class that over takes all my others with homework. The thing I don't understand is that it's only a Three Credit hour class. I have a Seven Credit houor class that I have been playing catch up with because of this other class. Two of my other classes hardly get any attention. Not to mention the fact that I have two young kids, a husband, a club, and household chores. Oh, and I happen to be sick this week, but I can't show it or slow down or sleep. I'm tired, like the fall asleep in the middle of a conversation tired. I would like a good explaination of this! My youngest son is teething molars, and woke up in the middele of the night the last couple of nights. My oldest is in the I don't wanna do anything you say stage. My husband just wants to watch a movie with me. I did finally get three loads of laundry done and the dishes. I still have homework for Three classes and its 9:40pm Sunday. I can't wait for this semester to be over. I like the majority of my classes, but some of us have a family outside of the class room. Allthough we have our ups and down all we can do is put on foot in front of the other.
One of the hardest things to do in college is learn to manage time effectively. That's just a part of college. I've been there several times, and as school progresses, it will become easier. Heck, there have been times when I have shocked myself about what can be accomplished, even when it feels like there isn't light at the end of the tunnel. It all works out. Keep up the hard work.
I understand completely, it is hard to balance everything together. I always feel that once i get done with something there is always something else left to do, and that i never get to get a good night rest. I always end up going to bed around 2 and then have to get up again around 6 for class. It sucks and trying to balance a job and teach dance classes,and do homework, is a lot to deal with but when you need the money to pay for college. You got to do what you got to do, as what i keep telling myself. SO i understand where you are coming from with feeling that you cannot wait for this semester to be over with already. I completely understand, this year is hard for me,and i do not understand why. I just wish it would get better. And i hope yours does after this semester is over, and that it will be easier for you. Best of luck
So it's Delphos canal days this weekend. They have some ride, beer tent and some bands in the evenings. We went up there last night it wasn't all that. As you walked up you can smell all the deep fied food like corndogs and fries. They have all sorts of canival goodies like funnel cake and deep fied oreos. That's all that filled the air. You can hear the band in the background and watch the farris whell or the marry go round. With this own little music and all the flashy lights. The beer tent was full of people signing along with the band, and watch the drunks make fools of themselves. It was so crowded you could even move through the crowd and every time you turned around you we getting bumped into. It's not my place of choice. The town blocks off several blocks of main street for this event and parking is horrenous. We had to park several blocks away just to go to Canal Days. I'd rather be home, to watch football. I love fall beacause of football. Tonight I had the opportunity to go again and I stayed home to watch college ball (NCAA). Our team the Texas Longhorns are playing Ole' Miss and they are winning. Go Longhorns! Tomorrow will be a different story though, it NFL on sunday and Monday. But it won't matter who's playing tomorrow because, I have to mow the lawn and homework before school on monday. This afternnoon I took the boys up to watch a baseball game. My husband is assitant coach for 9, 10, and 11 year olds and we managed to make it to the second game. The boys did good until the end of the game they both threw thier own fits, one because he didn't want to get ready to go, and the other because he didn't want to give back a baseball glove. He's only two and is in that stage the he doesn't want to share, anything you give him is for keeps. I love it though, spending time with them.
Karie do you live in Delphos or are you from their? Just wondering because I am I went to Delphos St. John's High School growing up. I absolutely love Delphos, the small town feel and everyone knowing everybody. Maybe not the fact that whenever anything happens in the town that it spreads like wildfire and within a matter of hours the whole town knows your business. But anyways back to canal days. I haven't actually gone to canal days since...I honestly can't even remember when maybe 3 years ago. I remember exactly everything you’re stating. The beer tent was always full with the drunks and people who just liked to have a good time. The air was filled with the smell of elephant ears, bratwurst, and funnel cakes every kind of fried food you could imagine! Then all the attractions like the little kid rides and the bigger rides that made me want to hurl. I loved just going up their at night and seeing the lights of the Ferris wheel and all the attractions and just meeting and catching up with people from high school and such. I can’t believe I have actually found a girl who likes to watch football! I actually posted a blog about football and my favorite team being the Cincinnati Bengals. I never miss a game! I feel like I watch more football than my boyfriend does. He barely watched football he is all into the lacrosse scene. He is actually from Florida and has played lacrosse all his life 13+ years. Just kind of nice to finally here a girl liking football!
I am from Oregon, it's beautiful state. I was raised in a town that was about three to four times the size of Delphos. Plus we have all the mountians and the ocean. The Oregon Coast Aquarium had Shamoo : Free Willie" for a while, now its a walk though shark exibit. Although Delphos Ohio, is very different from what I grew up with I love it. I love the fact that this area is "all about football", because I have two little boys and thats all I am waiting for is them playing footbal. It wasn't so big back home. Do get me wrong we had a team and lots of school spirt, but nothing like this here. Another thing I like about being here is it is a relitively quite town to raise kids. We live on the outskirts of town and I have almost three acrers, it makes it great for the boys to go outside to play. When they are older maybe they could get a football game goin in the back yard. The only down sid to the yard is mowing, but it really is worth it. As for oregon it does rain quite a bit and can make for a lot of sloppy games, but I do miss my family and friends and wish I could visit more. They are twenty-seven hundred miles away, and I always say "they're an oil change away." Hopefully there will come a time where everything stablizes and we can visit more.If you like canal days you would love my home towns Strawberry Festifal, it's a full blown fair. Huge and is around for a whole week. So many rides the big tent with show ring and tons of games. Plus after the parade evryone gets free strawberry shortcake. I'm sure it's not as grand as when I was little, but it's still pretty cool. Thank you Danielle for sharing with me.
It's nice to run into someone you didnt expect to know about things that you grew up with. I've been in Delphos for three almost four years now. I"m originally from oregon born and raised and then moved to Ft. Drum New York where I met my husband, who is from Delphos. We only went down there for about an hour due to delphos drama, and my kids are to young to be out that late and enjoy the rides. I'm hoping maybe in a few year it will be a fun time for them. Althought my four year old son is home comming prince for Delphos Jefferson this year. I'm super excited about that. And I get to watch a football game. I like the Cowboys always have , even thought I think we need a better offensive line and a new quarterback. Sometimes I have to turn the channel and watch another game for a while. Thank You for your post and letting me see that you have the same intrests and understand what I was saying about the canal days there in town.
Miscellanous #4 So in the early hour of technically morning I can't sleep. I'm not sure why. My brain just will not turn off. I wish it would at times, because it can cause the mouth to have word vomit. I feel like I haven't done anything today, no accomplishments. Spent a lot of time doing home work and tried to spend some with the boys. Oh, I did get a load of laundry done and made a pot of coffee earlier. No, I not drinking any now, if that is why you think I'm up. Today was a relitively good day with no rain and I probably should've mowed the lawn. Instead I was in my office eighty five percent of my day with homework. Some days you love it, like to today. On other occasionsyou hate it. I had finished alot of my math home work, and still have some left. I had finished an e-portfolio submission for another class that I can get extra credit for. I also worked on my accounting, which I'm very unsure of. That's why I lined up a tutor to get the help I need to understand it to it's full potential. The biggest homework project that I worked on today, or earlier, was my movie. Working on this project is kind of fun to me since I pick apart movies I watch anyways. Although I don't do near as much research on them. It took me five or six hours to watch my movie for the second time and take notes. These are only faze one notes, very non-specific. My plan is to watch it again and everytime take notes, but pick something to watch for. By the time I watch it everal times I should have what I need, not to mention I will probably have it memorized. By the time I need to use them I should be able to put them together and have a very vivid picture. Then add all the research for the movie with the actors/actresses and the directors and producers. I'm excited about this project. On the other hand tomorrow I'll have school and errands to run. I'll also have my very loving and supporting family to spend time with. So, tomorrow I probably won't have as much time to blog as I do now. Closing thought: Who came up with naming colors? I run across some wierd color names sometimes.
miscellaneous #5 Some days I feel like there is not enough time in the day. After everything is all said and done I feel like I haven't accomplished anything. I'm probably only getting four hours a night in sleep, to top that off I never seem to find time to eat. My son is not evven in school yet and we have been trying to prep him for home comming. By the way he looks great in his tux. Grocery shopping, laundry, cooking dinner, and trying to spend quality time with the family makes for less time for home work. I've felt like I am not doing we in some of my classes, along with completly not understanding one of them. All of these thing make you think about time management. I think i do well with time management, but some times it does not show. I like to learn and do new things, but I am very meticulous about how to do thing and I have an obsession of doing them right. I down right gets under my skin when people choose not to even try to do things to the best of their ability, and sometimes they are really good at what they aren't putting effort into. Back to my main point, who decided that there are twenty-four hours in a day? I need a few more hours. It would make things go a little smoother sometimes.
I understand how you feel about time in the day.I'm a full time student between high school and college courses but I also have a part time job and during end of summer early fall I was a part of the marching band. I felt like all I did was move. I was constantly on the go. when i finally got home and I wanted to sit down and relax I had to do homework, what kind of fun is that? by the time i get to bed its nearly one in the morning just to get up at six and do it all over again. My time management still has not caught up. I always say I will do that thing early, then the next thing i know I have ten things to do before tomorrow. I have the right intentions just not the motivation. I say there needs to be two or more hours added to the day and another day or two added to the weekend just to sit down and take a breather and maybe have some fun!It will get easier is what i am told. I hope it is true!
Yep, then there is this brain will not shut up and all you can do is lay awake and think about the things you need to do the next few days. It is really crazy sometimes, but I kind of like the hectic life. At least something is always going on. Tonight has been no different. In fact, the boys were all riled up and were not behaving. So, they went to bed early. Then I try and go to bed early, because I tried to take anap and between the cats and my kids that did not work. I thought I would be tired enough to go to sleep early and no. It is almost one in the morning and I am bloging, go figure. I am looking for work too. That will make it super crazy, but it will be helpful. Gas money is hard to come by sometimes, especially when gas is 3.50 and higher a gallon anymore. I hope you can get some good sleep.
Miscellaneous #6 You know when you have those days when you can not sleep for anything, well it's be one of those weeks. Here it is three am, and I am not tired for what ever reason. My body is, but my brain won't shut up. I have had so much on my mind. I can not believe christmas time is upon us again. I hate the way it seems to sneak up. Then its rush, rush, rush, for the next couple of months. I am excited for my kids, putting up the tree, stockings, and especially their faces christmas morning. And this year is going to be especially interesting considering we got the boys kittens for their birthdays. So we have large kittens now that like to play. I don't even want to guess how many times my tree will go down, at least I have plastic or acrilic balls for the tree. I already get after them for getting on the table and getting in to my sons breakfast and my oldest sons beta fish, who live in a beta bowl on the kitchen table. All in all it just more stress I don't need along with the regular school stress. All in all, I want to do well and earn good grades, maybe graduate with honors. That would be crazy, because I never cared this much in high school and I wish I had. If only I did my daily assignments Maybe I could have, but hind sight is twenty twenty. You live and learn, my goal every year is to better than the year before. So I'm just going to concentrate on one holiday at a time. Halloween first, youngest son is about taken care of and the oldest not sure yet. Then Thanksgiving, and that I am totally un sure of. Probably just do it ourselves and not go anywhere. So that makes it sound like there is time and maybe trick the mind into not rushing. As for now, sleep. Hopefully! But we will see, Maybe a nap will be in order for tomorrow. :)
Miscellaneous #7 Well I got to watch one of my favorite movies yesterday, Pulp Fiction. I love John Travolta's come back, and the fact that it's a psychological thriller and you have to watch more than three times to get it all. Quinton Terintino is great at that. Plus it's october with is the best month for horror films which are my favorite type of move. Mix that with the pshological thriller aspect eqauls good movie. I used to watch alot of the real crime drama shows like the first 48, or deasdlist women, cold case files and those types of shows. I don't really get that much time to watch television anymore, it is more about homework and quality time with the family. It would not really matter if I DVRed them either, no time. That is part of the reason why I had more time in a day. Not only that, but I have to find time without the family for horror gore flick because my husband does not like them either. Sometime I'll get one in here and there. Maybe I should record them and watch them during winter break. *laugh* It might work. Anyways got to go for now long day tomorrow with my classes and extras I have planned. Have a great night, or morning.
miscellaneous #8 At this point I'm not sure what to blog about. It is like I have bloggers block. So here goes. The rain in ohio vs. the rain in oregon. In ohio you can see threw it and you don't hydoplaine all over the palce. Yet there are all these driver who can not drive in the rain. The last two times I have seen wrecks and almost been hit myself. So, I don't se why you can drive in snow and ice. It just baffels me to no end. in oregon we have rain you can't see through and fog on top of it. Yet, very few accedients. We don"t delay school because of fog, but we do for snow. Oregon does have black ice but only snow in the mountains. I just don't get it. I've been thinking lately to get a project, but I haven't the time due to school and all. I'd like to get a classic car, we are talking 1930's. Just not enough time in the day because I will not pay someone to do it. There is no such thing as craftsmanship anymore. What is this woorld coming to? The American Dream really is on it last leg or dead, and I'm raising kids. What will be left for them?
Misc. #9 Well I got my essay done, but I am very unsure of this one. It was so hard to write about something I feel so strongly for and not put any opinions in it. So, after many revisions I think I finally have a good paper, but we will see. This was the most difficult essay yet. I have another essay due soon in my Management class, to. It is a five page paper with visuals and in third person, so no opinions there either. Not only do we have to write a paper on a person, we have to do a presentation on that report. I think that part will be fun. The only problem i can see with that is the time limit. I think I will make note cards. Also, in my Accounting class I have another essay, but this one is short and very specific content. Still, I do not care for writing so much. I had no idea that I would be doing essays in every class. Crazy. At least math is still numbers and not essays. *laugh out loud* Besides all that, I finally got signed up for all my classes, it only took me twice. It does not help when you sign up for a class that you are taking right now, it does not really work. I think I am all squared away for now.
Misc. #10 So today was an okay day. I got to spend to with my boys, and my husband got to go shooting. I got some of my homework done, but not near enough. It seems never ending. Isn't it always. My youngest son is getting molars, so he is not a happy camper. My four year old does not hear what you say at all, stage. Oh well, it is the age group. I'm going through the boys toys this weekend to make room for the up coming month. They really do not need a bunch of stuff. I have also ran across the really nice winter coats that my youngest grew out of last year. This is going to be a good year, we are going to start to teach our four year old to give to others. He will be able to give presents to kids less fortunate than he his. May be he will get the idea that he does not have it so bad. Or maybe not, he is four. I made chili today, and it turn out really good. We had friends over to help eat it, because it was a lot of chili. I am glad it went over well, I had changed it up a little and it turned out sweet onion chili. It was good. Anyway, good night everyone.
Misc. #11 Well today is Veterans Day, thank you to all who sever and have severed, especially the one who gave all. We do not have school today and it is really wierd sitting her with my family today. Maybe I will get all caught up on home work today and be able to breath. That would be nice. I hope everyone is having a good day. My boys are pretending to be monkeys, *laugh*, so cute. I have some homework left and laundry, I also need to go through and thin out my childrens toys. They really do not need infant toys anymore. We will see how today unfolds and hope for the best. We are watching a special on Nam, pretty interesting. Got up super early this morn to go to the dealership for my rotors, because they put new tires on it and new brake pads, but did not replace the warped rotors. So needless to say I won and they had to fix it. I hate it when people try and take a shortcut and cheat up. I paid good money for my truck, the least they can do is the right thing. I sat there for three hours while they turned the rotors, then tried to charge me $75 for front brake pads and $75 for rear brake pads. No thank you, knowing what already happened, I am not taking that chance again with them. So I will make an appointment somewhere else, where I know it will be done right. I should get off here to do other homework, and really I am just rambling. I guess that is what misc. is for.
Misc. #12 Well it is the middle of the night- early morning again. Why can't I just sleep? I am tired, I feel it all the time. I just toss and turn. My boys sleep so sound, how do they do it? Sometimes they are in the weirdest sleeping positions. It is really crazy. I have so many random thoughts in my head right now like I am a watching traffic. Red car, Blue car, I do not know if any others feel that way too. Watch weird television late at night. There can never be any real television on after eleven o'clock. I really do not like this no sleeping thing. I know I need to sleep and I just can not do it. At least I have homework to do. It is something, maybe I will get tired enough to go to sleep. Or maybe I will ge on the computer. Either way I will figure it out. I need to read that will make me tired. I have a book that I had borrowed and have not had the time to even open it.

It's nice to run into someone you didnt expect to know about things that you grew up with. I've been in Delphos for three almost four years now. I"m originally from oregon born and raised and then moved to Ft. Drum New York where I met my husband, who is from Delphos. We only went down there for about an hour due to delphos drama, and my kids are to young to be out that late and enjoy the rides. I'm hoping maybe in a few year it will be a fun time for them. Althought my four year old son is home comming prince for Delphos Jefferson this year. I'm super excited about that. And I get to watch a football game. I like the Cowboys always have , even thought I think we need a better offensive line and a new quarterback. Sometimes I have to turn the channel and watch another game for a while.

ReplyDeleteSo in the early hour of technically morning I can't sleep. I'm not sure why. My brain just will not turn off. I wish it would at times, because it can cause the mouth to have word vomit. I feel like I haven't done anything today, no accomplishments. Spent a lot of time doing home work and tried to spend some with the boys. Oh, I did get a load of laundry done and made a pot of coffee earlier. No, I not drinking any now, if that is why you think I'm up.

ReplyDeleteSome days I feel like there is not enough time in the day. After everything is all said and done I feel like I haven't accomplished anything. I'm probably only getting four hours a night in sleep, to top that off I never seem to find time to eat. My son is not evven in school yet and we have been trying to prep him for home comming.

I think i do well with time management, but some times it does not show. I like to learn and do new things, but I am very meticulous about how to do thing and I have an obsession of doing them right. I down right gets under my skin when people choose not to even try to do things to the best of their ability, and sometimes they are really good at what they aren't putting effort into. Back to my main point, who decided that there are twenty-four hours in a day? I need a few more hours. It would make things go a little smoother sometimes.
I understand how you feel about time in the day.I'm a full time student between high school and college courses but I also have a part time job and during end of summer early fall I was a part of the marching band. I felt like all I did was move. I was constantly on the go. when i finally got home and I wanted to sit down and relax I had to do homework, what kind of fun is that? by the time i get to bed its nearly one in the morning just to get up at six and do it all over again. My time management still has not caught up. I always say I will do that thing early, then the next thing i know I have ten things to do before tomorrow. I have the right intentions just not the motivation. I say there needs to be two or more hours added to the day and another day or two added to the weekend just to sit down and take a breather and maybe have some fun!It will get easier is what i am told. I hope it is true!
DeleteYep, then there is this brain will not shut up and all you can do is lay awake and think about the things you need to do the next few days. It is really crazy sometimes, but I kind of like the hectic life. At least something is always going on. Tonight has been no different. In fact, the boys were all riled up and were not behaving. So, they went to bed early. Then I try and go to bed early, because I tried to take anap and between the cats and my kids that did not work. I thought I would be tired enough to go to sleep early and no. It is almost one in the morning and I am bloging, go figure. I am looking for work too. That will make it super crazy, but it will be helpful. Gas money is hard to come by sometimes, especially when gas is 3.50 and higher a gallon anymore. I hope you can get some good sleep.

ReplyDeleteYou know when you have those days when you can not sleep for anything, well it's be one of those weeks. Here it is three am, and I am not tired for what ever reason. My body is, but my brain won't shut up. I have had so much on my mind. I can not believe christmas time is upon us again. I hate the way it seems to sneak up. Then its rush, rush, rush, for the next couple of months. I am excited for my kids, putting up the tree, stockings, and especially their faces christmas morning. And this year is going to be especially interesting considering we got the boys kittens for their birthdays. So we have large kittens now that like to play. I don't even want to guess how many times my tree will go down, at least I have plastic or acrilic balls for the tree. I already get after them for getting on the table and getting in to my sons breakfast and my oldest sons beta fish, who live in a beta bowl on the kitchen table. All in all it just more stress I don't need along with the regular school stress. All in all, I want to do well and earn good grades, maybe graduate with honors. That would be crazy, because I never cared this much in high school and I wish I had. If only I did my daily assignments Maybe I could have, but hind sight is twenty twenty. You live and learn, my goal every year is to better than the year before. So I'm just going to concentrate on one holiday at a time. Halloween first, youngest son is about taken care of and the oldest not sure yet. Then Thanksgiving, and that I am totally un sure of. Probably just do it ourselves and not go anywhere. So that makes it sound like there is time and maybe trick the mind into not rushing. As for now, sleep. Hopefully! But we will see, Maybe a nap will be in order for tomorrow. :)

ReplyDeleteWell I got to watch one of my favorite movies yesterday, Pulp Fiction. I love John Travolta's come back, and the fact that it's a psychological thriller and you have to watch more than three times to get it all. Quinton Terintino is great at that. Plus it's october with is the best month for horror films which are my favorite type of move. Mix that with the pshological thriller aspect eqauls good movie. I used to watch alot of the real crime drama shows like the first 48, or deasdlist women, cold case files and those types of shows. I don't really get that much time to watch television anymore, it is more about homework and quality time with the family. It would not really matter if I DVRed them either, no time. That is part of the reason why I had more time in a day. Not only that, but I have to find time without the family for horror gore flick because my husband does not like them either. Sometime I'll get one in here and there. Maybe I should record them and watch them during winter break. *laugh* It might work. Anyways got to go for now long day tomorrow with my classes and extras I have planned. Have a great night, or morning.

ReplyDeleteAt this point I'm not sure what to blog about. It is like I have bloggers block. So here goes. The rain in ohio vs. the rain in oregon. In ohio you can see threw it and you don't hydoplaine all over the palce. Yet there are all these driver who can not drive in the rain. The last two times I have seen wrecks and almost been hit myself. So, I don't se why you can drive in snow and ice. It just baffels me to no end. in oregon we have rain you can't see through and fog on top of it. Yet, very few accedients. We don"t delay school because of fog, but we do for snow. Oregon does have black ice but only snow in the mountains. I just don't get it. I've been thinking lately to get a project, but I haven't the time due to school and all. I'd like to get a classic car, we are talking 1930's. Just not enough time in the day because I will not pay someone to do it. There is no such thing as craftsmanship anymore. What is this woorld coming to? The American Dream really is on it last leg or dead, and I'm raising kids. What will be left for them?

ReplyDeleteWell I got my essay done, but I am very unsure of this one. It was so hard to write about something I feel so strongly for and not put any opinions in it. So, after many revisions I think I finally have a good paper, but we will see. This was the most difficult essay yet. I have another essay due soon in my Management class, to. It is a five page paper with visuals and in third person, so no opinions there either. Not only do we have to write a paper on a person, we have to do a presentation on that report. I think that part will be fun. The only problem i can see with that is the time limit. I think I will make note cards. Also, in my Accounting class I have another essay, but this one is short and very specific content. Still, I do not care for writing so much. I had no idea that I would be doing essays in every class. Crazy. At least math is still numbers and not essays. *laugh out loud* Besides all that, I finally got signed up for all my classes, it only took me twice. It does not help when you sign up for a class that you are taking right now, it does not really work. I think I am all squared away for now.

ReplyDeleteSo today was an okay day. I got to spend to with my boys, and my husband got to go shooting. I got some of my homework done, but not near enough. It seems never ending. Isn't it always. My youngest son is getting molars, so he is not a happy camper. My four year old does not hear what you say at all, stage. Oh well, it is the age group. I'm going through the boys toys this weekend to make room for the up coming month. They really do not need a bunch of stuff. I have also ran across the really nice winter coats that my youngest grew out of last year. This is going to be a good year, we are going to start to teach our four year old to give to others. He will be able to give presents to kids less fortunate than he his. May be he will get the idea that he does not have it so bad. Or maybe not, he is four. I made chili today, and it turn out really good. We had friends over to help eat it, because it was a lot of chili. I am glad it went over well, I had changed it up a little and it turned out sweet onion chili. It was good. Anyway, good night everyone.

ReplyDeleteWell today is Veterans Day, thank you to all who sever and have severed, especially the one who gave all. We do not have school today and it is really wierd sitting her with my family today. Maybe I will get all caught up on home work today and be able to breath. That would be nice. I hope everyone is having a good day. My boys are pretending to be monkeys, *laugh*, so cute. I have some homework left and laundry, I also need to go through and thin out my childrens toys. They really do not need infant toys anymore. We will see how today unfolds and hope for the best. We are watching a special on Nam, pretty interesting. Got up super early this morn to go to the dealership for my rotors, because they put new tires on it and new brake pads, but did not replace the warped rotors. So needless to say I won and they had to fix it. I hate it when people try and take a shortcut and cheat up. I paid good money for my truck, the least they can do is the right thing. I sat there for three hours while they turned the rotors, then tried to charge me $75 for front brake pads and $75 for rear brake pads. No thank you, knowing what already happened, I am not taking that chance again with them. So I will make an appointment somewhere else, where I know it will be done right. I should get off here to do other homework, and really I am just rambling. I guess that is what misc. is for.

ReplyDeleteWell it is the middle of the night- early morning again. Why can't I just sleep? I am tired, I feel it all the time. I just toss and turn. My boys sleep so sound, how do they do it? Sometimes they are in the weirdest sleeping positions. It is really crazy. I have so many random thoughts in my head right now like I am a watching traffic. Red car, Blue car, I do not know if any others feel that way too. Watch weird television late at night. There can never be any real television on after eleven o'clock. I really do not like this no sleeping thing. I know I need to sleep and I just can not do it. At least I have homework to do. It is something, maybe I will get tired enough to go to sleep. Or maybe I will ge on the computer. Either way I will figure it out. I need to read that will make me tired. I have a book that I had borrowed and have not had the time to even open it.
