Intermission
Last week was a killer.
I’ve been taking an online class through the local community college: Beginning Shakespeare – the Tragedies. Last week I had a midterm paper due: analyze the comedic structure present in Romeo and Juliet and discuss why/how it impacts the tragic moments.
I also needed to read all of King Lear, post my response to 20+ discussion questions and give peer reviews on other class members responses.
In addition to my class work I -
- planned and taught a church lesson on the parable of the ten virgins.
- picked and froze ten pounds of blueberries
- picked and ate shared three pounds of kotata berries
- accompanied my daughter, my friend and her three boys to a movie
- shopped (and ate) at the local farmer’s market
- kept my house fairly clean
- learned about ancient Egypt with my daughter
- grocery shopped
- took the dog to the vet
- attended a release party for Breaking Dawn and spent the rest of the weekend here:
(And in case you are wondering, I found it to be highly entertaining, though I’m not sure if I liked it.)
And I read your blogs and wrote on mine everyday.
But friends, I’m tired. All of those things on my list are wonderful and worthwhile, and I can do them all. But I can’t do them all well, all of the time.
Next week, we start school in earnest. I need to do some planning this week to prepare.
What I’m saying is that I need to take some time away so that the most important things in my life get the biggest part of me.
I’ll be taking a couple of weeks off.
In the meantime, I may post some of my favorites from the archives. But not everyday. (You might want to subscribe to my feed so you don’t miss anything.)
And when I come back, I hope to have some new wisdom to share with you. Or at least some new stories.
Until then,

Nothing wrong with taking some “time off”. I’m sure we will all miss you but it will just make us look forward to new blogs even more
You sure had a busy week. Enjoy starting school “in earnest”!

Just teasing

Have some down time the next few weeks (yeah right, lol) and we’ll see you soon!
Erins last blog post..Linky Love
I just finished Breaking Dawn, and I’m of the same opinion. Entertaining, but I’m not sure I liked it.
My husband asked me about it…and I said it was too soon to tell, but it might be my least favorite in the series.
World’s Greatest Mommys last blog post..Mad Libs And Flatulence
you cloned yourself – I know you did because that is the only way you did all of those things. hee hee
i went to a Breaking Dawn release part and am almost finished with the book. my kids loved it but i might be in your camp of entertained by it instead of liked by it. i suppose it all depends on how it ends. but i’m not really holding my breath
enjoy your break!
I’ll miss you!
Thank you for your prayers regarding my depression – they are felt and appreciated more than you know.
