a personal note from yours truly

Maybe personal note isn't quite the appropriate term, but oh well get over it. As a matter of fact, that is the best title for this. This is an announcement to anybody who is expecting anything more from me than a return phone call (several days late), a favor (unless you give me substantial notice), an email responded to with more than 1-2 lines and anybody who expects to get hold of me at a moments notice by stopping by the house or is waiting for me to religiously update this blog. My message to you is: let go of that dream!

I failed to make this public information before these circumstances went into effect. Oh well, better late than never. If you would like to complain, feel free to leave me a voice message and I will address your concerns in about 5 weeks time. If you are offended by this, I don't care :) I still love you, but I don't care.

See, this is the deal: I am in school full time now. That is very do-able, except that I was careless enough to pair human anatomy( the hardest course in the state, nonetheless) with not 1, but 2 other classes. Because of this scheduling stupidity that is fully my fault, unless your name is Taylie, Lucas, or Jacob please expect to be neglected until the 3rd week in August. This class now basically constitutes an almost full time job between lecture time, lab time, and study hall (homework for other classes is still TBD). The only "free"time I have is on Saturday and that is spent making sure that my family will have clean clothes to wear for the next week and that they can find them when they need them, other than that, Jacob is picking up almost all other responsibilities (and hasn't complained once, btw!). Any other time that my nose doesn't have to be buried in a book or when I am elbows deep in a cadaver, I spend with the kids doing whatever they want to do. This leaves time for almost nothing else, and I am fine with that. You may not be, but I am and that is all that matters.

If you need me, texting or email is your best bet because my phone is as attached to me as if it is another limb of my body because that is my lifeline to my family now. I get email and texts all day long on my phone. Feel free to attempt to contact me that way. You will get the quickest response time, I promise.

I am sure that not many of you will be offended by this because I have a totally awesome family (immediate and in-laws) and my friends are pretty great too. There are always those few that will be bugged, and I don't care. I don't have time to care. I still love you, but I am sure you will get over it. :)

Until I re-surface again after the weeks to come.

Love,

Malisa
