                 I looked at the assignment finally at 9:30 p.m. after trying and trying to get my kids to bed but never worked, so I’m reading in between baby cries and peek a boo’s cheering him up temporarily to get through the next few sentences, and the other two arguing, tattling and needing just about anything and everything from me. Ok so as I was reading over the first model I thought about how much the writer’s thoughts are quite similar to mine and quite frankly, how much I really wanted a cigarette. She describes her three points very well, making the assignment seem clear, manageable and stress free. I guess you could say, suddenly I get kind of an anxious feeling, thinking about ideas to write my own classification essay, or maybe that feeling came from seeing the kids finally settle down, sinking slowly into the couch, with their little eyelids getting heavier and heavier.  I wanted to read more but I didn’t want to. After skimming the beginning of the second and third, instantly realizing that they didn’t interest me a bit. I don’t know why, but I didn’t want to waste my precious, quiet, peaceful time reading a nagging depressed wife’s story about how she hates her husband’s obsession of sports, blah! Clickity click to the next one. Skimmed the heading, blah, blah, blah, fishing isn’t going to give me any ideas!  The 4th one caught my eye. I can relate and sympathize. Been there done that no fun bull crap. The bug lady made me laugh a little. I think it’s funny how she finds bugs fascinating, but yet lives to kill them. Nope nothing, bug lady didn’t wake up any stories in my head either. So, great, just great. Not even half way into the course and I’ve already written about everything in my whole LIFE, there's nothing left! You don't believe me do you? I know, I know, time to dig deaper.
