Desperately busy

I have so many things I'd really like to sort out, but I simply don't have the time. I have 2 major exams this week (both tomorrow), and I'm not prepared for either. I have a lab exam the following week, and then finals after that. I have to turn in college applications by Friday, just in case we don't move out of state by this fall, and come up with the money in order to cover the application fees. I have to tutor for far too many hours, go to a birthday party this weekend, visit my step-mother-in-law at the new facility she's recovering in, prepare to teach Sunday school, actually teach Sunday school, get the laundry done, the grocery shopping... ok, I'm just making myself more frantic. Classes will be over in about 2 weeks, and I'll definitely have time to post then. I'll be able to talk some issues through, and that will be good. I'm dreading the upcoming holidays, truthfully. It's just so hard not being able to talk to my parents.

Well, I'm sorry for the nothing post, but I just wanted to let you all know I'm still here and kicking. :)

She is recovering well!

I've only just realized that I never updated about how the situation with Anthony's step-mom has played out. She has made an astounding recovery, was moved out of intensive care not long after that previous post (about a week or so), and then moved to a rehab facility so she can work on being able to return to normal functionality. She can't (currently) raise her arms above her head, and she still doesn't have much control of her hands, but she is improving steadily, and there is some hope she'll regain full use of everything. Even if she doesn't, she has made such enormous strides from where she was that it's unbelievable. I know a fair number of people will laugh it off, but I honestly believe that God had His hand in this. There are lots of details that I haven't gotten around to posting, but the upshot of it is this: she shouldn't still be alive, and yet she is.
