The Price of an Education



It is hard to juggle the responsibilities of life, church, work and school. Many things fall by the wayside, like time to socialize, vacations, a super clean house and even time with family.
As each semester ends, it takes about three days of sleep to sort of recover. Then must jump immediately into cleaning up the house and catching up on all the paperwork, filing, purging junk, managing affairs and seeing as many friends as possible before the new semester begins.
Each semester has a rythm to it. It takes a couple of weeks to figure out the schedule, but when you do, you can almost have a life. Can maybe even slip in a hour for some good poetry and a cup of tea.

This distant neighbor drives a Lincoln Aviator and has two young boys. Her face never smiles. Here is one more reason why. Not enough money for food.
