August 11, 2013;

I've been through hell and haven't had the strength to post or write anything, however, the end is near and all has ended very well.  I'm finishing my last two classes for my doctorate, that's been difficult through the mess but I'm finishing.  I lost my focus for a while, spent a lot of time in prayer, just being there for my children and grandchildren.  Sometimes trying to maintain normal through a storm is difficult but children need their routine and good times, they don't need to feel the impact of hard things so I've spent a lot of time with them playing and cooking and just plain being there.  It's almost over I'm just feeling the ripple affect.  I'm keeping my family close and keeping outsiders out.  I don't even care what others are doing, my only concern is for my family. 

My focus is returning, but it'll be a little bit.  Until then school stops for no one and my dissertation is knocking on my door.  Good thing there isn't a man in my life he would be very lonely right now.  Oh well.
