This Mom's Life

Now that our first week is complete, I am feeling more at ease with the curriculum for this class.Although the work may seem overwhelming, there is some really good information in the textbooks that will help me to be a better writer. My schedule is not the same weekly, so I do not have a set time to concentrate on my writing like I would prefer. I feel that to be a really good writer you need to have a place where you can create well written assignments. A good routine is important too because your mind may be more acclimated to a regular  schedule.

 I like playing music when I work on my writing. My rationale for playing while writing is that it helps me to be creative. I'm sure that's up for debate if you ask my children. The irony behind that is that they don't seem to understand that 'I need peace and quiet out of them as I attempt to complete my work. The constant interruptions are annoying but I have to remind myself that I am a mother and a student rolled into one. It has become a normal occurrence to accept the inevitable. It's more than likely that the telephone will ring, the doorbell will blare, our neighbors will argue, etc. You name it, things happen. I just have to find a way to block it out and produce interesting work that is worthy of  a good grade. I will try to the best of my ability to succeed because I really like writing and grammar. I am glad that we are under the watchful eye of the "Grammar Nazi". It will keep us on our toes. Good luck to everyone!
