Well folks, my time is ticking away and my fifteen minutes are about to expire. I have slowed down on my blog entries. And when I do blog, I have been rushing and misspelling every other word. I am too busy to check it like I should. I have 9 weeks until graduation, and as many of you already know I have completed this degree in lightning speed. It has been great but I am tired and overwhelmed now.

We are building a house, which is stressful enough. I have class, and homework. I have three kids and a dog who need me. I have been subbing, so that has added to my stress too. I have a wonderful husband that I feel I only see through a revolving door here lately. If I don’t blog I feel like I should—when I do blog, I feel like I gave it half the effort I should. I am healthy and want to stay that way. So… to protect my health and my sanity.. I am signing off for the last time.

I feel like each moment I do not spend with my family is like throwing away an un-opened gift. I can’t smell the roses because the thorns keep me from getting close enough….and all the other cliché things I can think of.

The words of my precious 5-year-old son whom I call my “Angel Baby,” really hit home last week. He told my husband, “You know why momma is stressed all the time? It is because she doesn’t spend enough time with us.”

To John, and my babies I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!! You are what matters to me.

Blog on my fellow bloggers. I will be back to read your posts.

I will miss blogging. I know I have a great deal to say, but I am just at a loss for time in which to say it. When I am an old lady I do not think I will look back and say, “I wish I would have kept blogging, when ‘Angel Baby’ wanted me to watch him ride is bike.” However, I am sure I would say I should have spent more time with him and the other two….so here I go, back to just being momma.

Oh yeah, another reason to leave: I don’t look like my picture anymore. :)


For the last time,

JB
