In my favorite poem by Robert Frost, Nothing Gold Can Stay, he reminds us that like the seasons of nature, life is one season melting into another, and quickly fading away. This is my attempt to document each season in my life and my family.

Man, Oh, Man!

Whew! I have been so busy, as I said in my last post, but I won’t re-hash all the details. We’re all good. I’ve been using most of my time to do schoolwork. I gave my speech in speech class Monday night. It was okay. I wasn’t really nervous, and I think I did a good job. I think she’s going to grade us on it, and give us our grade next week. I took my first algebra test today. I made a 97 on it, so I was happy. I was really, really relieved to do well on that test. I’m just doing really simple stuff right now, but the way the book phrases things and does things are a little different than how I learned them in school. So, that makes it a little more difficult for me, since math is not my subject, anyway. This test was not open book, so I am a little more proud of myself. :) lol I have a little while till the next algebra test, so I can breathe a little. I wrote my food paper for Comp, and had to email it to my instructor today. He emailed me back and said that it was good, but he suggested a few changes. Hopefully, when I turn it in tomorrow night in class, it will be an A paper.
Speaking of tomorrow, we are supposed to get some snow. Normally, I am not a fan of snow. We’re supposed to get a few inches in the morning. On one hand, I really don’t want it to do much, because I don’t want my class to get cancelled or for the roads to be scary when I go. On the other hand, the kids have never played in snow before, so that would be fun. We’ve got very little snow here in East Tennessee since Kyra was born, so she’s never played in it. When we did get an inch or so on a couple of occasions, she was too little to go out and play in it. So, if we do get a couple inches, I know they would LOVE to go out and sled down the hill. We don’t have a sled, but I’m sure we could improvise. So, best case scenario for me would be a couple of inches of snow in the morning for the kids to play in, and then it all melt away by the evening so I can get safely to and from my class. I really don’t want to have my class postponed. I have so enjoyed them.
I’ll be sure to post some pictures if we get snow!
