Up to My Eyeballs In It

That’s the only way I can think to describe the chaos that is going on here right now. I think that it is finally possible that I bit off way more than I could chew (or even stuff in my mouth for that matter, and let me tell ya, when I want to… I have a pretty big mouth).

The monkeys are all back at school and the little boy that I watch came back a few weeks ago. Sadly I don’t see this lasting very long.

I have started school. The irreverent freelancer from Screw You! asked what was I taking? Oh just a little Introduction to Creative Writing and General Nutrition (online to save gas of course). Now I am feeling a might bit intimidated because the creative writing class is very small (just the 10 of us) and so our teacher is treating it like a writing workshop. Feeling like the out of place school girl, I am a bevy of “my stuff isn’t good enough. I don’t use a sensuous enough language” – for anyone who isn’t familiar; the teacher tells us that it is the language of the senses… sight, sound, touch… and I think he’s right. I don’t see a lot of room for sensuous writing in copywriting. Then I find out that we are beginning with poetry. I don’t know poetry. Pity because my teacher is a poet. This tells you how much I DON’T KNOW POETRY. He is Bruce Weigl. Yea… if you know who he is send me hate mail later for not having the first clue who Bruce Weigl is. If you’re like me, you already have another browser window open and are googling his name. Needless to say that there will be mucho writing in that class. After this semester, I may be rethinking my decision on writing for a career for I will be typing my blog with my feet or a pencil hanging out of my mouth.

The chaos kiddos all have after school activities and I have new clients, Yay! But don’t start the party in my head just yet… I am really struggling with setting up a schedule that allows for laundry and wife/mom stuff, school/student stuff, and writer/wahm stuff. That’s 5 extra people I need, know where I can find them? Six extra actually if you count the laundry because I could keep someone gainfully employed in my laundry room full time. With six people how could I not?

I have been bad at the blogging too so until I get this down… schedule, kids, house, school (mine not kids), work, I will most likely only post once a week and I might be doing it on my break at school cause Lord knows the creative writing class is 3 hours long because it only meets once a week so we get a break in the middle of it. (Again with, that is a lot of writing).

Now on to some more link love… Peggie over at the chaos mommy is begninng a declutter challenge… I am going to be brave enough to post my dining room pics (before) and possibly even kitchen (before as well) that is where most everything ends up. When I get the schedule going I will be a more active participant in it but for right now I will see if I can make it look worse than hers (it’s actually pretty much there now…) Cause we all know that no one can pick up after themselves! Depending on how much I hate myself, I may show you my desk… but it’s not for the faint hearted.

One last thing that I feel I really must share with you… I love a good celebration so everyone please join me… This is my 100th post. It’s a beautiful thing isn’t it?
