A List of Things To Do

I am trying to get a bit more organized, and I need to blog about some of the following things:

Last May, Kacy ran for Student Body President.
People have had birthdays...I know it.
I ran my first 10k race...not quite at a snail's pace, and I am "just now" learning to like running again. Sort of.
First day of school.


I am sure there are more. All I know for sure is this: I am positive I have pictures to be uploaded. If you check my blog at any type of regular interval, there might be a day or two or three where there are only pictures and no words! I really, really need to put my blogging hat on on Sundays. That needs to be my day for blogging.

In other news, I am feeling slightly overwhelmed and am thinking I might need to quit something that I have committed to. The first thing that pops into my head is guitar lessons for the 5th grade at school. It is very likely the thing that will send me over the edge. Kids who aren't musical, given instruments... in a large group setting... headache!

I finally told my family about my secret, and so now I can document it here as well: I will be graduating law school this Spring. You will note a direct correlation to when I started (almost 4 years ago) and a sharp decline in my blogging (almost four years ago). I just need to make it through this last year, pass the bar in July, and then geek on my area of expertise until I get sworn in. I will be focusing on two areas of law that go hand in hand: divorces and estate planning. Crazy, I know. But I have a business plan and a marketing plan, with a ready made market of individuals...and it'll all work out. It will be an awesome career that I can do while still being home for the kids when I need to be. I will also be dumping all other law out of my head come August 1st (that is right after the Bar) so it will be useless to ask my any property question, criminal questions, or anything else. I intend to be an expert, and I will likely take out one of the two areas of practice, depending on what works best for my family and what brings a steady stream of clients and enjoyment. Now, if only time and homework would just fly by. I am tired of paying tuition and I need a new car.

My Mazda 5 has 190,000 miles on it. 10,000 more to go, and I will throw a party.
