Catch - up

Life has been moving at a frantic pace. I am visiting my son (thus the picture - it was in his "picture" file) and have a few quiet moments while they finish playing monopoly. My duties during this time are to watch the puppy and make sure their huge lab doesn't eat her. Actually they are "playing" very well together. It is a nice change from our visit last weekend when we went down south to visit my mom at her vacation home. Now, her two dogs would have taken her to task if she tried playing with them.I finished this weeks homework n Friday so I don't feel pressured to leave early so I can finish homework. I still am a bit anxious though because this coming week every minute is full with meetings, school projects, work in general and of course all the things that need to be done at home. I will try and stay up late tonight and get ahead in my homework.I was longing to write in this blog last week. I was feeling so stressed and like I could never accomplish everything that needs to be done. Work keeps piling up - new expectations all the time. I can't believe I consider being the Corporate EH Nurse. She is overwhelmed and so I am trying to help her out as the higher powers that be see me as "valuable." I got an e-mail from my new boss and she wrote a note to the fact. Saying I was to be on a corporate committee because my knowledge is is highly valued. Well who can say no to that?So now I am one of those people who are trying to climb the ladder and putting all else at risk. One of those people I said I would never become. My plans are still on for Bangledesh. I hope to stop and spend 3 days in HongKong. It will probably be the only time I leave the US because the "man" will not leave - won't even go into Mexico. Silly guy - at least he is letting me go on my adventure.I haven't been taking pictures because I am so busy - with the price of gasoline going so high I am not sure that I will even be able to jeep that much in order to get all the pictures I want.They are done with the ggame so I will shut down and write more next time I have a minute. I am done with school on 4/18 so hopefully it will be before then.
