I am running out of steam! I am so glad it is finally time to turn in our papers and I don't have to worry about it anymore. I have really enjoyed the process of learning how to write this kind of paper though. I have really had to think about things differently to get through it.
My daughter is finally over the flu....Westin and I didn't get it! What a miracle! I do have an earache that is killing me though. I haven't had a lot of time to think about it with all of this work I have had to catch up on!

Saturday
Well my daughter has the flu! I was hoping she wouldn't get it. Considering 86 kids were out of school because of it, she was bound to get it! I hope my 3 year old and I are not next!
My husband is going to get to come home for a couple of hours tonight. He has been gone since October 10th!!!! He is just passing through on the way to Laurel MS to pick up some equipment and then has to go back to Dallas. A couple of hours is better than nothing. I am really hoping they get to come home for Thanksgiving!

Another week down....
We are slowly but surely getting close to the end of this term. I have had a hard time with this paper! I liked the topic I am writing about until now! Anytime political news comes on the TV now I turn the channel! lol This thing has consumed my life. I feel like I am neglecting my kids right now, but they don't seem to care because mama lets them tear up the house while she is working in her paper.
I gave my journal that I write in to my daughter last week to try to get her to start writing her own, but she don't seem to have time. I was thinking that I might start writing here more since I let Jayden have my journal, but I think it is just easier for me to pick up a pen and my book than to try to find the website. I don't know......can you make this a shortcut so that you can just click on it and go right to the page?

The final draft
I have got to get rolling on this paper! My final draft is going to take a lot of work. After reading my peer review I learned that my paper is somewhat confusing in places and needs more info on my citations. I know I have a lot of work to do and need to get to it....still having issues with motivation.
Finally through with fund raisers for the youth at church......I think. I am ready to have a weekend for myself, although it was really fun hanging out and getting to know the youth better.(and their parents also) I have been a member for over a year and have really just this last several months getting involved in activities. I feel like I have grown to be better Christian the more involved I become.
Life here at home is still pretty tough. Even though my husband is working three states away and making dang good money we are still trying to catch up. What a mess we get ourselves into. Looks like when you are in your mid thirties you would know how not to get in a financial bind.......well maybe by the time we are in our late thirties we will have it together.

Really?!?!?!?!?!
Another rough week! I got a virus on this stinking computer and lost a whole days worth of research trying to fix it. But look I did it!!! I am back online and working like crazy trying to catch up. This last six weeks have been really hard. Harder than I thought they would be. I am loosing steam this term and need to get back on track. I want to have better grades than I did last term (I want my A's back). I am finding it hard to get the motivation to really dig in this term. I have no idea what is going to get me going again........help!

Again I have failed to write on here all week. I feel like I made a New Year's resolution and broke it.
This week has been really rough! Had to completely start over on my paper. I could not find enough infomation on my other topic to write my paper. Although I learned a lot from the infomation that I did get, it just wasn't enough. Oh well. I know there is plenty of information about Obama out there to write a paper on and that is where I am going. I am finding it hard to keep up with all of school work with all of the challenges that I have going on at home and I am getting a little flustered with myself. My mom has been out of town and my husband my husband works in Texas (we are in MS), and I have had sick kids, a child failing school (this is his senior year), Dr appointments, fund raisers for the youth, and I am overwhelmed. I really need alittle motivation from somewhere to keep me going.

Why do I wait til the last minute to do everything that is due on Tuesday night? I usually do not procrastinate.....why now with so much to do?
Been really busy with the youth at my church.....lots of fund raisers to send them to a conference in Gatlenberg in December. Very proud of our young people! They are working very hard! All of the kids want me to go as a chaperon but I really don't want to take my 3 year old with us and I do not have anyone that will keep him for 3 days while we are gone. We will see how it turns out.
I have been talking to a few people about my paper and have got a lot of information to support me. I have got a long way to go though. Trying to get everything in order has always been a problem for me. I will be in the floor with paper everywhere trying to figure it all out.

October 12
Okay folks.....this is my very first blog ever! I am having a little trouble deciding what I should write here. How much detailed info should I give? Anyway...I have finally decided for sure what I am going to write my paper on. I sent an email to Prof Dick and she really helped me choose the direction I want to go. I do not, however, have a thesis statement yet. I have got a lot of research to do. I want to do a lot of interviews for my research and not have a lot of stuff from the Internet. My paper will be about religion and suicide. This is going to be a very interesting topic for me because I have had several family members commit suicide, and I hate to admit it now, but I tried it once myself. I have 2 children now and 2 step children that need me and I can't leave them, and have accepted Jesus as my personal savior since then and now there is no looking back. Well I did get pretty deep there. Gonna go for the night. I am kinda liking this blog "thingie" (as my 3 year old would say).
