Why in the world am I so tired?

Life has changed significantly for our family in the past four weeks.  Three out of four of us are in school five days a week.  Two of us are a tad overwhelmed and a bit over-anxious.  And one of us, ME, is extremely tired.  No amount of coffee or alternate caffeine sources are working to perk me up.

Life as a co-ed is funny.  Why?  Well, I guess I don't really consider myself a co-ed since I could be most of these kids' parent.  {Sigh}  How depressing is that?  And, for just a little while each day, I dream of being 19 years old again and thinking about who I'm going to hang out with tonight, where the party's at, and if I'm going to skip class tomorrow or not.  But then, a swift slap of reality brings me back to this all too real juncture of life.

Several classes I'm taking are very difficult and waaaaayy outside of my comfort zone.  But, that's what college is all about, right?  Exploring new facets of who you could be.  RIGHT?  Because I'm thinking that I should kind-of have that figured out by this time in my life.  I am, afterall, inching up on the big 4 - 0!!

I hate to cut this short, but I am supposed to be studying for a quiz.  Just not feeling it today, though.  Do you ever have those days?  Don't lie!!  Instead of studying, I'm dreaming of being at home in my big comfy chair, under a warm blanket, dozing off as it rains outside.  Ahhhhh, doesn't that sound awesome?

I thought so, too!
