You know, for being a writer by nature, I'm rather pathetic at this whole 'consistent blogging' thing.
What a pity, really. I really do enjoy writing.
But, let's give this another go, eh?
And with that in mind, let me just give a quick update (of sorts) on life lately.
I GRADUATED!
A year ago, mind you. But it happened!
AND
JONATHAN GRADUATED!
I'm really proud of him.
Hannah's almost done with Kindergarten (can you believe that?! I can't)
Liam is almost done with Preschool.
Hudson WANTS to go to Preschool this coming year.
Tucker is almost 2! I can hardly fathom that.
And a big announcement:
I was accepted into the graduate program at BYU in English. What an honor that was. I didn't think I'd get in, but I guess the Lord saw fit for me to be there?
I was also accepted as a graduate instructor to teach a writing 150 class in the fall.
THAT is terrifying and it's got my nerves in a jumble because it will mean that my kids will have a few hours of day care or a babysitter. And I'm wrestling with this notion that I might be letting them down, or not being a good enough mother to them.
That I'm being selfish.
And I just...I really just want to do the right thing. There has to be a reason I got into the graduate program, right? There also has to be a reason why I was hired as an instructor, right?
Maybe they pitied me?
*sigh*
Okay, enough of my internal struggles. I'll probably post about it again later. For now, though, I must say that I also have a few summer projects going on as well. One of which is to finish editing my novel. I've set a goal to have it done before the end of the summer. And that means ALL of it. Edited and ready to send off.
Big undertaking? Probably. Am I excited about it? YES.
Like I said, I LOVE writing and I've been doing a TON of writing this past year. I did an exercise (a piece of fiction) to improve my skills and it turned into a 200,000 word piece that I wrote in 4 months...so, that should give you an indicator of how much I love doing this stuff.
On top of that, there are a few contests I want to enter coming up, as well as spending some quality time with my children.
That's the main goals. :)
So, that's it for now. I'll (hopefully) update again soon. Maybe with some pictures even?
