Ah, my first year of graduate school is finally over!! Praise Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never been more tired, more burned out, or more determined to make good on something as I am with this program. All I can say, is thank God its only one more year! I'm not even thinking about my doctoral program -- more power to my friends Erika & Laura -- I'm just wanting to get that hood thing attached to my robes & strut across that stage yelling "Look Ma, look Dad, check me out Honey, I did it!! Maybe I'll get lucky & my whole family, kids, grandbabies, parents, relatives, bestest friends, everyone, can all come for the graduation. By the time I finish my doctorate (if I even get that far), I'll be too old to walk across stage & I'm be in so much debt, I'll be working 24/7 just to make the loan payments (don't laugh, its true!)
So, today I decided to do a little substitute teaching with my favorite elementary school kids at Scenic Park Elementary. A kindergarten teacher needed a substitute for the day & that was just what the doctor ordered. What a great bunch of kids -- so full of energy, questions, answers, even tears for a few. I told them the secret of the "summer bumps" -- they were so excited & asked me to write down the story. So, that's what I'm going to do -- write a children's book. I've always wanted to write children's literature (its so much funner than all that cloak & dagger garbage my husband reads or the sexy vampire novels I read). So, I've drafted the storyline for the summer bumps & I'm going to ask my brother to do the art work. This oughta be fun!!
Ok, go read a good book, enjoy a snuggle with someone you love, and remember that I'm always out here, mentally wandering around just waiting for a friend.
