Week one of on-line school complete!
Whew!
As I am getting used to the system used
and the way classes are run,
I am finding school sucking up my time.
Not sure what I really expected,
but I'm sure as the weeks go on,
it will get easier...
and I will get more efficient:)
I have been absorbed this week
...in school.
...in home.
...in God.
...in some personal issues.
I have NOT been absorbed this week
...in writing on my blog
...in reading other blogs.
...in twittering.
...in Facebook.
...in friends.
...in texting.
...in sleeping.
I usually catch up on blogs once a week.
I usually keep up on Facebook nightly.
I used to Twitter many times a day.
I used to spend hours texting...
and napping...
This week I have not.
I text a FB status through my phone...
occasionally text a friend...
& have only read other people's
statuses that are sent to my phone.
My blogs this week were scheduled.
I don't have time to nap.
I have no clue what is happening in other people's life. I have no idea what happened on different television series. I have no idea what's in the news this week. I have no idea how my friends truly are.
I should be sad...but I'm not.
(I know...that sounds bad.)
Although I've been consumed with school,
it feels good not to be consumed with
...other people...
...or their problems...
...or the drama...
...or their pain.
(I know...that sounds bad.)
School was my excuse this week...
...to not answer my phone...
...to not analyze people...
...to not have others analyze me...
...to be alone...
...to be only a mom...
...and a student...
...not a friend...
or a counselor...
or a daughter...
or a sister...
or an aunt...
or someone's sounding board...
or an encourager...
(I know, that sounds bad)
School this week
just let me be a mom...
and a student...
and I liked it!

It doesn't sound bad to me! I get you, people overwhelm me sometimes. I like my solitude, and I like being busy because then I can be busy alone. I think it's perfectly normal! I think there's such a thing as people burn out. I hope that doesn't sound highly un-spiritual :)
We all need that at times. Some of us more than others. Enjoy it!
Wonderful as long as God is number one and you let Him direct your time. You are awesome!
Going to school and raising two boys can really suck up your time.
I remember when my oldest two grown children were kids and I went to school getting my RN. I was studying for finals and thought it was really quiet. I looked at our little canary and I had forgotten to feed or water him!
It was a very hectic time in my life and there was really only me and the kids and school and church on Sunday. No time for friends or being a sounding board for anyone.
I look back now and I am not sorry because God was giving me all the time for what was really important. Him, the kids and school and the house in that order.
God loves you and is proud of you and I am blessed to know you.
