Ramblings

Sometimes, I like to use words incorrectly. I like to use nouns as adjectives. For example, if I'm describing a girls hair as dirty, I might say "Her dirt hair hung in matted curls." I could, just as easily say "dirty" but to me, using the word "dirt" carries with it texture and substance and seems more filthy than just dirty. I know I'm not the only one who does this.

I have company coming over tomorrow, so I have a ton of chores to do around the house. Laundry, sweeping, vacuuming... the list goes on. And did I mention that I hate housework. I'm in the wrong profession. LOL "Housewife" -cleaning is definitely in the job description.

So Sad

My cousin George has been fighting a battle with cancer for the past 2 years. He died this morning at just 36, only 8 yars older than I am right now. I am so sad. He has suffered so much these last few weeks. It is so unfair and tragic. Just 10 days ago, I wrote a poem about him and now he's gone.

Alone Time
02/27/2006 04:39 p.m.
Serenity surrounds me as I revel in being all by myself.
The kids are at grandma's.
My husband, at work.
The tinkling of the fish tank filter is my mood music.
I can read a book.
I can watch t.v.
Just me.
I know there are things I should be doing with this rare time.
Laundry's piled high.
The kitchen floor could use a sweeping.
The vacuum is calling my name.
But such mundane activities would be a waste of this precious time.
I'd rather not.

That Darn Cat
12/21/2005 03:38 p.m.
Well, I put the Christmas tree up last night. It is a prelit artificial tree. Last Christmas, we didn't have a cat, but this year we do. And, my goodness, is he fascinated with this fake tree. He wants to climb it, eat it, sit under it... ugh!! I caught him last night trying to chew the wires to the lights. That's all I need... an electrocuted cat and an unlit tree. Needless to say, the kitty will be spending a lot of time in the laundry room this week and the tree will come down the day after Christmas.

Back to School

This week I started back at college. The hectic schedule is definitely something I am not looking forward to. But it is a neccessary evil, I suppose. It seems as though I have good teachers this semester.

I have 2 more finals to take and then this semester is over. I welcome the break. I have been so busy lately, I haven't even been able to think about poetry... well, except for the poetry on my English final! ;)

No time

What a sacrifice it is to sit down to type these few words. There is not enough time in the day to accomplish all the things that need doing. Finals are coming up and I am bombarded with end of the semester papers. My house is a disaster and my son's birthday party is this weekend! Between school and parenthood, I am buried in responsibilities. I'm ready for a break! Hopefully, this week will go by quickly and it will be over soon.

My Day: Bad at First, Then Better
04/20/2005 04:37 a.m.
I had an early start today. I was running on time to drop my kids off at school and was off to class with time to spare. About midway through my 30 minute drive to campus, I noticed that my van was driving really horribly. In turns, it would pull real bad and shimmy whenI'd speed up. It made me a little nervous, but since I'll be trading the van in as soon as I get my student loans, I didn't dwell on it too much. I got to school, parked the van and went to class.

Well, an hour and fifteen minutes later I return to the van and see it's huge flatter than flat left rear tire. So I call my little brother, who also attends the same college and ask him if he could come rescue me... and of course, he does. After trying to figure out my puzzle of a car jack, he finally got the tire changed and I treated him to lunch, after driving him to his apartment for non-dusty clothes. The drive home was 45 mph all the way, which made it longer than the usual 30 minutes. I was so glad to plop dpwn on the couch and feel sorry for myself. No one has been more ready for a new vehicle than I am today!!

This evening, my son, who will be 8 in May, had his first scrimmage baseball game. It was, needless to say, the highlight of my day, even though I skipped my evening Government class to be there. He got a few hits and played in field, a step up from last year's left field position!

Writing Again
04/09/2005 09:10 p.m.
Until the past couple of weeks, I hadn't written anything creative in over 9 years! When I was given the assignment of writing an original poem, I went about it groaning and complaining through about the first 5 or 6 lines. It was almost as if time had stolen away any ability I had all those years ago and it was really difficult for me at first. But once I worked through being creative again, I began to feel so excited. I was wondering why I hadn't written poetry in so long. Now, I think of lines and phrases when I'm doing the mundane! Baking cookies, folding clothes...I guess there's a little bit of inspiration in everything if you happen to be looking for it. It feels so good to be thinking creatively again. I never even missed it. Or at least, if I did, I didn't even know.
