Back... Again

Well, I have learned something on this journey: being a single mom, a full time student, and a part time employee is very very difficult, especially when going through a disaster of a divorce. The only time I seem to have free is when I am knocked down with one illness or another from the stress - and in those cases, I let myself sleep. So, there is my excuse for no posting in too many months. I suppose that I gave more than one excuse.

Yes, my babies often get roped in to doing extra-curricular activites with me. Don't worry, I go to theirs too ;)
I have decided to share my "thought pieces" from my classes the past months. I would love to hear critiques about my writing style. The pieces I will post are free form response pieces to readings or topics we were discussing in class, unless otherwise specified.

I hope you will enjoy them as I enjoyed writing (most of) them.

Salam
