7 Days

Wow. That's how long it has been since my last post. It is a good thing I don't do this for money or I'd be starving now. I finished my final paper tonight and my final this past Monday. I'm breathing a bit easier now--even though I think I really messed up my final. Maybe it's the glass of wine in my left hand or maybe it's just the fact that I can't undo it that makes me choose not to worry. Either way it's over.

Just like I knew would happen I am contemplating next semester's course load. Shhh. Don't tell my husband. He's likely to NOT be too happy about that. Stuff kind of piles up around here and I don't like for that to happen because it drives me crazy. I've put a lot of things on hold. Like this...
I can't tell you how many times ol Dora dog has dropped this raggedy ol rope toy in front of me this week to try and distract me.

Oh and my kids have thought it quite funny to keep placing this where I might go next...

And when I say things have been piling up around the place this is what I mean...
That is the most tame area. Lord please don't let Social Services remove my kids. I promise I won't lose them in this heap.

And even though they seem to be extremely hyper lately and have made me want to wear this t-shirt every day this entire semester...
I know that these precious little ones...
have been pretty patient and enduring of my school work. So whatever is on the schedule for the next couple of weeks I plan not to allow stress to be one of the items. I simply want to enjoy the season and be able to truly reflect on the blessings God has given me and remember that whatever time I give to whatever project I have will never ever surpass what God has done for us. I hope you will be able to do the same.
