I have had a bunch of people comment on how I am not writing. Well, yes, remember how I said that I would not be writing? All my creative powers (and non-existent time) is being poured into one effort— to finish classes for my continuing license renewal in order to stay employable. And yet, I have still heard, “Wow. I remember that you said you would not be writing, but you are really not writing… like at all!”. It is true. But now I am pleased to tell you that I am almost there.
I’m referring to the end of the madness… my classes are almost done. I fully intend to send the last project off tomorrow, and then I can be a somewhat free woman again—look onward to a brighter tomorrow and all that.
Meanwhile, things still need to happen around here whether or not classes are finished. Laundry still needs to be done. That damn dishwasher still does not load nor unload itself once or twice a day. I hate that thing. Our refrigerator “fill yourself” option seems to be broken. No matter how many times I check, it is still lacking the basic ingredients that every household needs. And the kids. They need all sorts of help doing things— (So helpless! So needy! I tell you, don’t have kids. They can’t do anything for themselves these days. Even the baby is useless, useless, useless!). And get this— the worse thing is that we seem to be invaded by mice. Just because I can’t get the food off the floor (those kids again!), they think it was left out for them. Au Contraire raton! That is for the shark to clean up, which I plug in faithfully each night, but he still seems to be in the same spot each morning as though he went nowhere.
Sigh. A brighter tomorrow. And better appliances, please.

Congratulations on being almost done!! I have many friends who SWEAR by the Roomba thing that vacuums for you. I have one friend who even has THREE of them… one vacuums, one mops, and one does something else. Or maybe two vacuum? I have no idea. Anyway, yeah, housework sucks… I can’t imagine trying to keep up after three kids, too! GO YOU!

I’m going to refer my complaining friends to this post. I’ve been working outside my home (graveyard shift), taking a full load of college classes, and still parenting my four kids. I’ve heard, through the grapevine, that some friends are feeling neglected by me. Now I know where to send them when they need an explanation!!!

I remembered that you were taking a break… but that didn’t stop me from missing your entertaining posts. I am glad that you are almost done with your classes, and welcome back!
I hear you about the daily chores. I have that problem too, only I don’t have a distraction like classes to blame. Really, I don’t know how you do it. My biggest problem is that our dishwasher seems to have gotten lost, and hasn’t found our house yet. In the meantime those dumb dirty dishes refuse to clean themselves. They would so love to have a dishwasher to help them out.
