It seems like as soon as the flowers start to bloom everything just starts to happen at a faster pace and then the days get away from me. So, I'm heading back to school on 5/2 but this time, it's all online! I've never taken an online class in my life - so what did I do? I applied for a 100% online master's degree program! Thank goodness my husband is an IT guy! Now I just need to figure out how to do everything I do now and manage school without losing too much of my routine. My biggest challenge will be managing my frontier (yes, I am a Frontierville addict...). I do tend to be a bit overambitious though so this year I've:
1) bought a side of beef
2) joined a CSA to go out to a farm 1 hour away every Saturday and pick fruits and vegetables. What possessed me to do this, I'll never know. I hope it is a good experience though and I better not see any snakes.
3) I bought a membership to a swimming pool (outdoor) in a neighboring subdivision for my husband and I and the 3 kids that live with us. They are excited - me, well....I guess I'll have to put that fat lady bathing suit on and deal with it. Maybe I'll swim and get some exercise. More likely, I'll just float around like a whale and flap my arms every now and then so the lifeguards know I am still alive.
4) I've purchased an outdoor bar set for my deck. I love this! Another place to sit and do...well....nothing!
5) I've purchased tickets for my husband and I to see Chicago, Journey, Foreigner and Night Ranger this year.
So, obviously, I've done a lot of planning for time to do schoolwork (NOT!!) So, here's my plan. I'll do schoolwork at work when I'm bored, I'll do it out back on my new bar when it's nice out, I'll do it at the pool when I "forget" my fat lady suit, and I'll do it on my way to and from the farm. I will NOT do it at the concerts. ;) And THAT's that!
