forgive me

i have not been a very good blogger for some time now. there have been things worth writing about. there has been time to write. i simply did not feel like expressing all of life in blog-form for the time being. the 'old-school' actually-use-a-pen type journal won out. i was reminded by the ache in my hand that i should probably physically write more often...you know, to build up strength.

the latest:

after some research, found out that i only needed two classes to complete my bachelor's degree. this is something that should have been done years ago, but alas, life happens and my priority has been my family. BUT...the stars have aligned so to speak and it is time to finish this puppy up. this past week, i began a five-week accelerated social psychology class. should be good, but very time consuming with the homework volume each week. then, will take one other class independently once i get past this first one.

had a job interview this past week as well. praying it is the right fit. could be a very engaging, exciting job...and the bonus is that it fits with my family's schedule where i will still be available for my kids. need to wait for the rest of the interviews to take place and then i will find out final decisions. so...i wait.

winter activities are kicking off today. basketball and extra music things for one son and preschool field trips for the other. i am sure that God knew what He was doing when we were blessed with only two children...i am clueless as to how some moms keep up with so many schedules!

and speaking of winter...yes, it is! record cold, record snow amounts, record amount of school snow days used. it has felt like an extended winter break with the exception that we have been trapped in our home. (that is not a bad thing...) i enjoy some snow, but this is a bit extreme. feeling a bit stir crazy today...

okay...brief update. better get some coffee in me.
