Sunset

I hate when there is traffic coming up on me while I'm trying to take the perfect shot of yet another brilliant sunset. The above photo begs me to go back another day so that I can capture the reflection of that sunset in that water of those wetlands!!

I've started my spring semester. I'm taking two literature classes and must drive to the university 4 days a week. This will go on until the end of June and then I'll be two steps closer to student teaching this fall! I like both of my professors. It is shocking to me that they both require 2 papers and both will be giving multiple choice exams. What the heck? These are literature classes, isn't that against the law???

My younger brother's divorce is final. I think this is a good thing? My husband is still working for his dad, I know this isn't a good thing. My sister and the two pregnant sister inlaws are doing well. It looks like there are 2 c-sections planned and we shall see with #3.

Hope springs eternal. Hopefully my gentle and loving nudging will help Hubby move on from his current dismal employment situation. It was wonderful and warm tonight as I drove home and enjoyed the sunset on the water... Good things will come. I know they will. I felt my Mom with me today for the first time in a long long time. I miss her. She would be the one to talk to Hubby and help him through this. I wish I could fill her shoes. I wish she were still here.

It is strange how a C-section allows you to know the date of your niece's birth ahead of time. How cool is it that she will be born on my parent's anniversary? It worked out that way. Sometimes life has a way of working out. These employment woes will pass.... At least no bill collectors called today :-)
(this is the reflection I wanted to capture with the sunset above, maybe next time!)
