Not Much Over Spring Break

My spring break consisted of rest - quiet time in the evenings with my family at home. This was actually a blessing without the chasing of getting to class on time after working all day. It actually made me think as to why I'm doing this to myself?!

I work for the Sheboygan Area School District so we are on spring break this week. I am able to relax all day long and attend my classes in the evening. Homework can be completed in a more comfortable state of mind without feeling rushed. I don't think I could have planned this schedule out better for myself. These past two weeks have been therapeutic for me since I have been dealing with some own health issues - the peace and quiet and rest is exactly what I needed physically and mentally.

What will next week bring for me? Back to reality with my 40 hour work week and completing my 10 credits for the semester. I need to stay positive and focused - the end is near! Reminds me of class last night and talking about drafts. I am one of those that needs to keep moving and the quote by Madeline L'Engle struck home. My inspiration usually comes to me while I'm working, but not necessarily while writing. Thoughts and ideas come to me while I'm working at my job or doing housework. I jot things down so it isn't lost. In fact, my last paper was up on the computer all day long and as I went about my tasks at home, reflections and ideas that came to mind were implemented in the paper. Kids didn't like it too much since they weren't allowed to go on the computer that particular day.

The last few days of my break week will be enjoying time with the kids - weather appears to be cooperating so will get the fresh air that is so much needed. Don't want to deal with the cleaning of the house so will procrastinate on that job probably until the weekend when it is supposed to rain. Easter brings new life so hopefully resuming my hectic schedule next week will bring positive reinforcements.
