Procrastinating

well it is Sunday morning no one else is awake yet so I should be working on my homework not sitting here typing a blog entry. Today my final exam for algebra is due and I am nervous about it. I do not do too well on my tests in that class. I know the information and get the concepts but making it work on the test still eludes me! My final paper for my Ethics in Human Service Management is due today as well and I am still only about halfway done! I should be farther through my paper by now but since i was sick as anything this past week and my dang bladder decided to give me problems on top of being sick I did not get much done. This stupid cold is still hanging on too the coughing kills my head and caused a migraine the other day. With Dave regaining more and more feeling in the form of pain everyday I don't have time to stop for a headache. He is not that hard to take care of but add in a 12 year old and two dogs and a husband and school and still wanting to find a job of some sort (thinking the job will have to wait a while humph) and all the doctors appointments for all three and meds and then I am thinking about the appointment Mike has tomorrow and even though it is not anything major it is still stressing me out...not to mention cooking cleaning and trying to do all the other things that a stay at home mom (by choice or not) does and I wonder how my mom ever got anything done at all!! she didn't just have herself husband and two kids either she also had my grandmother great grandfather(for a while) aunt and uncle  and the menagerie of animals that always seemed to be around when we were growing up in my grandmothers house. She also ran my girl scout troop when my aunt no longer did, took us to 7 days of dance classes back and forth to softball, birthday parties, friends houses, gymnastics for my sister (over an hour away) and still managed to work and go to school and earn a degree.  As read over my words it sounds as if she was responsible for ll those people and that was not the case. However when you live in the same home as other people there are always more things to do, more food to cook, more dishes to wash, requests and demands on your time. I know this is true because for our almost 8 year relationship Mike and I have never really had time alone. Seems like we have always had some one living with us (well except for a 3 month stint in Florida and about the same in PA and a short period in NJ) and even when the people are living out of your home but very close (next door, across a courtyard, a few blocks away) there are still demands made on your time and sense of obligation to your family. Some people have the ability to turn away from those who are in need and well some of us don't. Some of us try to help to a fault and the expense of ourselves. I have no idea where this tangent came from maybe it is one of those days where reflection and introspection comes easily and allows me to appreciate all the things I had taken for granted or maybe it is the idea of pulling my daughter out of school and placing her in a military school or boot camp school or seeing Dave in so much pain or listening to my husband apologize to him for the millionth time or maybe there is some self pity going on here  but whatever it is I have successfully procrastinated  for a bit and now I must go work on these two assignments so that I can get my A and B in these classes (only my second B since starting back to school and first one since my first class) so that I can start my new classes tomorrow.... Wish me luck!!
