Just a Dream
Lien (yelling to J from the bedroom to the office): You know what? Next year I'm going to learn how to sew and just make everyone gifts.
J (yelling back in a bemused sort of way): Oh yeah? And when are you going to find the time to do this?
Lien (in depressed realization mode): In my dreams?
J (because he thought so): yeah

A girl can dream that she can do cool things can't she? Hell, I dreamt I could write a blog post every single day for a month. I almost did it! I didn't do it, but damn if I didn't try. I dunno, sleep and time with my kids seemed so much more valuable. This month not only did I write a blog post every day (almost) I also took my kids to museums, movies, the park, birthday parties, out to dinner, to bookstores (down the street up, up the hill, and through the woods...) AND I managed to get the vast majority of my work done and still managed to make it to class (most of the time) with A's and B+'s for most of my papers. I think I did pretty good with NaBloPoMo all things considering. Of course, Yoda is admonishing me in my brain, "No, try not, do or do not...there is no try." Ahh! Shut up Yoda! You're making me too nerdy.

No wonder you're so tired!! Go get some rest, girl.
Congrats on all the terrific grades. I'm like a proud Asian parent. Oh wait -- I AM a proud Asian parent. :)
You managed to do all THAT this month?! You must be superwoman in disguise. Go get some sleep so you can dream those happy, crafty dreams!
Phew! You did good, Lien! (Okay, you did "well"...)
It's amazing that you did all this and continue to do so... hm... no wonder you're fatigued.
You are one awesome woman! I think I'll go lie down, I'm tired from just reading your list. I really hope you are remembering to take time for yourself, you deserve it.
I'm breathless just reading what you did in a month! I can't even keep up with this blog, life with 4 kids and hubbie!!
...are you taking a well-deserved break? Hope you're all well!
