No Brakes

When I was a kid, I was pretty sure life was slow, easy going, and one organized party after another. Now as an adult, I have come to realize that there are no brakes in life. Its full speed ahead. Oh sure, I stop to smell the roses once in awhile, but they just remind me that I need to plant my flowers come springtime. Last semester was a perfect example of my life. I was in school full time, my ill father-in-law moved in with us over the summer. We took in one of my daughters displaced friends (she is like a daughter to us), I had major surgery, my father-in-law died the week before finals and we took a huge family vacation that we had been planning for an entire year...

I figured this semester would be easier...

Nope...
Started off with the Praxis II test, That short little SOE application, taxes, financial aid/scholarship applications, a full load at school, the "other daughter" still lives with us, bought a new van, buying a house, got a kitty... And the semester is just getting started!

where are the brakes?!?! Just seems like this car only has a gas petal!
