Being a student is hard and death sucks

This has been my first week back to school as an adult. It was also the week we lost my last grandpa and Mini's great grandpa. There was a lot of stress and decisions to be made. Let's never do a week like this again. It's hard to say I don't have the ability to go be a functional family member right now. Not just because of financial reasons, but because I have to prioritize being a good mother, employee and student. Would I loved to have been able to go and pay my respects, yes. Would it have caused other things to spin out of control yes.

Grieving is hard as a parent especially when you don't really have an outlet. Skipping the funeral and having a child to young to understand death made things interesting. Day to day operations at Casa Moe had to continue. I also needed to still go to my classes, submit my homework. There were hours to be worked at the money job too. Things had to continue and yet there is a loss.

I'm not ready to move on just yet and delete the last text messages from my phone. In time yes and probably before my next upgrade. Just not now. I need time to process. There are quite a few times that I take a picture or a video clip and get ready to send it and I'm not able to.

*** I started this post 9 days ago and I am going to publish it as it is now. I need to go back to posting weekly. So that is something I will have to factor into my weekly agenda. Right now I have read all the chapters I need to for the week and maybe I have had to much coffee. Thank you for putting up with my erratic posting schedule right. It should get better soon****
