Busy again

Work, school, kids, friends, love.  All of these take time.  Precious time.  I've been keeping busy, mostly with school, work and kids.  What little time I have left is for friends and love.

We're about halfway through the semester and I have discovered a couple of things.  I love my job.  I love admin work, working with people, using the computer to create things, use software I haven't used before.  I don't even mind the phone calls too much.  There are parts of every job that aren't great, but the good seriously outweighs the bad in this job.  Too bad it's just a work study. 
     I also discovered that I only need 4 more classes to graduate.  10 years of off and on college and I'm finally close to an associate's degree.  I can TASTE it.  In Fall 2012, I will graduate, then move on to work on my bachelor's.  It may have taken me a long time to get here, and it certainly hasn't been easy doing it this way, but it worked. 

Friends.  Much going on.  Friends are hurting, and need someone to talk to, a shoulder to cry on, someone to just listen to what they need to say.  I can be that person, they're there for me when I'm down and need someone.  Friendships are give and take.  Those that don't go both ways, don't last. 

Love.  Things are moving at the pace they're supposed to move at.  Slower than I'd like, but at just the right pace for everyone involved.  In a short time (when you look at the bigger picture) everything will change once again.  A fresh start for everyone.  Right now, we have time to learn, grow, and adjust to the changes life has brought us.  Everything is as it should be.
