I'm feeling sort of down all of a sudden. I don't know if it's because of the lack of sleep, or the impending doom of a hard semester.

Or maybe it's just the fact that my girls have finally found a place without me. They enjoy spending time together so much that I'm a second thought. It's bittersweet. I'm so happy that maybe everything I've worked for is happening, but at the same time -- its sort of lonely.

But maybe it's just what I need to start taking care of myself again. To take the time to go to the PEIF, and to read a book, and do my homework.

Maybe in the end, the sadness is what will push me forward, to continue on improving not only my house, but me.
