What a busy month! School, Graduates, Baby Showers, oh my!

 

I walked in a 5k the morning before I went to my Niece’s baby shower which was a 90 minute drive from my house.

Oh… I feel like I’ve been running in circles (o.k.,  walking… I stopped running a long time ago)! I’m “finally” finishing my Bachelors degree that I’ve been working at for many many years! I get serious for a year or two, then life gets in the way and I say I’ll take a semester off, five years later I look up and I’m not back in school. This time it was a 12 year break! I have four classes left! (don’t get too excited, 12 years ago I had only ONE class left, and life happened, so now I have to re-take some classes). I had to re-take some of the courses because they expired!!!! What? Are you kidding me? Business Law… o.k., I can see how laws change. Accounting, really? Accounting has changed? Also business Ethics. How do ethics change? Suddenly it’s not o.k. to sexually harass someone or take a bribe? Oh, it’s because the “laws” have changed… then why not teach that in the Business Law class? Oh, it’s because you want more MONEY from me to take another class! Why didn’t you say so in the first place? Can’t I just give you the money and you give me an A or B in the class? Meanwhile, life keeps marching on. Don’t these people care that I’m 54 years old and taking accelerated college courses? Or that I’m working a full time job and have a house and yard to take care of? Let’s not forget the Sunday dinners with the family and a few dates now and then. (Yes, just because I’m old doesn’t mean I’m dead… I still date!) My nieces and nephews are now all in their mid to late 20’s and they have decided this summer is the time to all have babies! Really? I can’t just go to Target or Babies R Us and buy some pre-made stuff that was made in some foreign country! I have to make them each a baby quilt and a few bibs and burp rags. My reputation would be RUINED if I just bought them something from their list they had registered for ! So, between squeezing in homework, keeping up with the garden, and housework. (oh let’s be real, the house hasn’t been cleaned for weeks!)… I have been cranking out a few baby quilts. Quilt I made for my niece Tabetha’s baby shower last week. The green is really gray. I didn’t have time to edit the photo. It was taken with my phone. Tonight I take my accounting final. In two days I am supposed to go to my nephew and his wife’s baby shower with the quilt I have lying on the cutting table right now. It’s going to be adorable… really! Oh, and here’s a cute photo of my granddaughter graduating from elementary school. (I have no idea who the woman is behind her).
