Go away, Life.

February 6, 2010 – 6:27 pm

I think there are moments when I just want to tell Life to back off.  Usually Life wins; Life gives the orders: grade that stack of essays, finish your CU homework, vacuum!  My little girl has a wicked tummy flu, and we’ve been holed up in this house for the past 48 hours with nothing but a case of Jello and six different Elmo dvd’s.  I have tons of work to do, but I wish I could set it all on fire.  Just torch it.  Go away freshman essay tests; be gone bills that need paying; scram grocery list!  I spend every day doing, doing, doing – running on this hamster wheel – but there’s nothing like a sick kid to make a parent want to, well, tell Life to go to H-E-Double Hockey Sticks.

Hey, that’s this week in a nutshell.  Make sure to invite me to your Superbowl party. Whoooeee, If you bring the dip, we’ll bring the Pedialite.  On the brighter, less agrressive side, I’m thankful that my classes are online.  I would’ve certainly missed a traditional class otherwise this week which isn’t easy to do in any master’s program I know of.  I also am thankful for cable OnDemand which has given me respite from Elmo and opened up a world of Little Einsteins and Handy Manny.
