For about month, my mantra has been "just make it to Easter." I knew if I could balance all of my responsibilities, I would be able to enjoy Easter and a much-needed break.
I made it! I finished my last paper on Friday night/Saturday morning, and now I am free from classes until May 16. I'm so happy to have five more credits done. I also know that I will probably not take two classes at the same time again. It was a lot ... I was very burnt out.
On Saturday morning, Emma and I ran to Jackson to pick up some groceries and whatnot. I scored a body wash for Denny for $.04 ... yeah, four cents. I was so excited. It's a far cry from the extreme couponers featured on TV, but I'll take what I can get. I also saved another $16 with coupons at Meijer ... that's almost five gallons of gas. Okay, I'm done, but I was happy!
On my way home, I called my sister to tell her to sign up for Meijer Perks. We were just chatting when she asked what I had planned for the afternoon. I said probably some cleaning and getting ready for Easter. She told me she was pretty sure I was running on "mommy energy" ... I didn't think much of it. But, I think she was right. On Sunday, after church and a wonderful brunch, Emma and I took a two-hour nap. I woke up and was still so tired. That was the first nap I have taken in so long. It was the perfect treat for making it to Easter.
I will write about Easter and my one class, which has done so much good for my soul soon.
