What does that mean???
The pages are spread out in front of me, the research is accessible on the computer, and I am totally not at all motivated to continue with this paper. What is it about me that makes it hard to write unless I'm in "the zone"? Actually, writing comes pretty easy for me, and now that I've written a bazillion, gazillion papers this last year a measly 5 pager is no big deal...but it's the first one I've written since my dad died and I find my heart's just not in it.
I suppose it's natural to have some introspection after the death of a parent. I think I'm just looking at life a little different now...like realizing the fact that it's much shorter than I want it to be. I know I went through this phase after Greg died, but I had two small children then and didn't really have the time I do now for the meandering thoughts that wander through my consciousness.
Anyway...
Life continues. Andrew sprained his wrist about a week ago and hasn't been practicing since then. He might be able to wrestle in the tournament this weekend, but it's not looking that good right now. He might not have enough points to qualify for a varsity letter this year. Since he's only in 9th grade it's not the end of the world (although don't tell him that).
Jessica is about ready to start her campaign for ASB president. She's running against the girl she lost to in the 8th grade class presidency race. She just signed up for the SAT's and will have them done by summer. Now, what to do this summer? We told her that if she decided not to continue with the Girl Scout CIT program (which is almost 6 weeks) then she would have to get a job.
We've been deluged with rain and high winds the last few days, and can expect that trend to continue for the next 3 days at least. That means a serious chance of flooding for some areas. At least we don't ever lose our power.
