Can someone explain to me why I decided going back to school at my age was a good idea? Granted the end result will be a joyous occasion and I will have finally accomplished something in my life... unlike my gardening and landscaping at our new home that I am wayyyyy behind in...
I am so overwhelmed I am about to cry!
I sacrifice time with my family to do schoolwork and courses - I missed another morning of hubby and kids going fishing and having a ball because I am sitting here playing catch up on work that should have been done Friday and the remaining needs to be done today...
Just over three hours into one assignment it turned out I did not save it correctly and have to start all over again.
...
Thanks for letting me vent.
Perhaps I need to make a point to log in an vent more often to all of my invisible blog readers - If nothing else, I will feel better!
Pouring another cup of coffee (spiking it with xanax) then I am headed back to the course website! Wish me luck!

Saturday's Adventures
Woke up this morning and could not move because my back hurt so bad... sciatic nerve or some bullshit that acts up on occasion and disables me. Hubby was up early and took kids fishing with friends - I woke up again when they all came back and I was huddled in a little ball at the bottom edge of the bed trying not to act as embarrassed about it as I was...
Moved to the couch where I cuddled up there with pillows a blanket and a cup of coffee. Woke up at one point because a friend came over and I remember talking to her about something but did not remember what it was when I woke back up almost 3 hours later... more embarrassment.
And my coffee was cold!
Hubby and friend's significant other had been gone to the store to pick up stuff for dinner and came back with flowers for both of us and a chocolate cake.
Hubby cooked dinner, we ate, friend's significant other went to work with plans to be back at 3am to go spearing and I finally felt better.
Made friend sit through the first two Superman movies with me. I secretly think she lusts after him now!
My oldest watched the first one. My youngest watched the second one with us.
Third Superman movie is not available to stream live on Netflix (Of course not---- save that bitching for another day!)...
Anyway. Made a pot of coffee and am sitting here chit-chatting with friend while the kids and my hubby are in bed.
I think I will make her sit through Seasons two and three of Grey's Anatomy with me while I write a paper for school.
Thank goodness she sleeps as much as I do... haha.

Blah
School starts for my little angels in less than two weeks.
I hate this time of year, scrambling to make sure we have all supplies, going through clothes that they grew out of in just seven weeks and trying to make sense of what I am supposed to be doing with my life while they are gone during the day.
I also love this time of the year.
It is like a brand new start for me where I can focus on what I need to do for my family and for me. And for my hibiscus. Damn squirrels have now taken a liking to them and I have about had it! I am almost ready to move all of my plants indoors. .... almost. If I did that there would be no room for us in here.
Sprinkler system is back working again thanks to happy hubby fixing the wiring that blended into the weeds against the side of the house where the weed-eater was aimed.... Some days I think it would be safer if I had landscapers come over and mow everything down and paint plants in the yard.... Woe is me. I need a hobby that does not hurt me.
Meanwhile - still working on my degree, and at my age that still boggles my mind. Would've, could've, should've done it years ago. Tried telling my husband what I wanted to do with my degree tonight and I am not sure he is that impressed with it.
Woe is me.
Heading to bed soon... maybe I will dream of which direction I should take.
