Walking Backwards

You know how you get so busy sometimes that your life just becomes a haphazard series of events that you just fall into or jump in between? Just me? I hope not. I keep forgetting to update here because I am lucky to remember to get dressed before leaving the house. I only wish I was kidding. I got halfway to my son's childcare and realized that I wasn't wearing shoes.

The class is going as well as can be expected. I got 100 percent on my first exam, though I don't know how accurate that is because he counted a couple questions that were wrong as being correct and he forgot to add in the extra credit. I'm spending a little over two hours a day on average studying for this one class so I haven't had time to work on my college applications or to study up on some math testing requirements (I haven't taken a math class in eight years). Thank goodness I'm only taking the one class this time around.

On the work front, I started watching another kid as a favor to a friend. She was in a bind and although I do not have the time or energy to do it, I said I'd help her out until she can make her way through the waiting list at a new daycare. In Austin that can take awhile though, so I hope I don't regret doing this because I already have my hands full with the kids I already watch. I've also started taking on a few sewing projects for friends that are stacking up behind me. We'll see how that turns out because we really could use the extra cash, but the time spent may not be worth it. I also have the stuff I am trying to do for myself, but it seems like that is going to be permanently in the background.

So much else that I'm missing talking about like my futile attempts at a home routine, Nicholas' new habit for making up songs as he goes along, my mourning our not being able to afford tickets to ACL, how the new kitten is driving me insane at night, and how much I miss my mind and love my family.

I'm going to start cross-posting this on LiveJournal in hopes that that will encourage me to keep it up to date since I go on Livejournal to read more than I do anything else on this computer. If any of you all find this irritating let me know and I'll be done with it.
