Of Life In General

And here I am, another day, another blog post. I do apologize it is coming so late in the day, but it has been a rather busy day, with shopping and such this morning. And for the rather prolific week I've had in writing, now my mind is settling down, and I find myself uninspired to write about anything of vast importance.

I am taking a break from school for the rest of the semester. How that will work out financially, I have yet to figure out, but the fact of the matter is I have no one to watch the children right now, they need to be caught up on their schooling anyway, and I am so far behind in classwork and attendance there is now way to pull myself out by the end of the semester anyway, so I will start, Insha' Allah, with a clean slate next Fall. I hadn't planned on it working out this way, and would rather it hadn't, but things are as they are, and in some ways I'm glad not to have the additional stress at the moment, plus the comfort of knowing that I will have time to better plan and prepare for next school year. This year the decision to go to school was made rather last minute, and as they say, those who fail to plan, plan to fail. I don't consider this a failure, just a little lesson in better planning. Plus I plan to go over the text books that I paid good money for over the Summer so that maybe I can be better prepared for my classes going in.

I tried arranging to get into a doctor yesterday, but they have switched my medicaid carrier, because they for some reason had the wrong address, and by proxy the wrong county listed, and as a result there are no doctors in my area that will see me until the problem is fixed. It's rather ironic actually, now that I finally make up my mind to do something to take care of myself I find out I can't, at least not right at the moment. Appointments to a regular physician, an OB/GYN, and a psychologist are in order at this point in my life. So Insha' Allah I'll get this little obstacle out of the way soon.

In addition I'm working on establishing a firm schedule for myself and the mini-muses. No more of this lolling about and blogging all day for me. Too little is getting accomplished, and I feel like I'm spinning my wheels. I'm not certain where this new burst of motivation originates from, but I'm glad it's there. I'm more motivated to actually take care of myself better, and to get more accomplished. Yesterday I finally managed to get my bedroom completely unpacked and cleaned. Slowly the house is coming together more and more, which will help a great deal in getting a routine schedule down.

I bought a new toothbrush today, and I know this may not sound entirely fascinating, but I for the first time ever bought one of those motorized toothbrushes. I love it! I got the Crest Spinbrush and tried it out. I felt like I'd just left the Dentist's office from a professional cleaning, which is motivation enough for me, again, to take better care of myself. (No this message is in no way solicited or endorsed by Crest or any other sort of advertising entity.) The kids were thrilled because they got to pick their own toothbrushes. Son-shine found one with a race car, Pookie found one with Dora the Explorer, and K-Bug found one with Hello Kitty on it.

In any case there's a roast in the Crock Pot, and I have more work to do, so I am off. I'll be back tomorrow to see what 3 Word Wednesday inspires from me.
