Delirium of a student


On April 12, 2011, Karen Crabtree, a mother of 3 children, step-mother of 2 children, wife, dairy farmer, and full-time student, was found delirious in her chair.  After multiple counts of, "Mom! Mom! Mom!" and "Karen! Karen! Karen!", from her children and husband, she lost touch with reality. 

She is plagued by massive piles of homework, fencing on the pasture, children's school conferences, Dr. appointments, 2 interviews for a research paper, a senior project, planning and co-leading a PTO meeting, expected calves, a birthday party, and Easter all within the next 2 weeks. 

Doctors predict the delerium will pass in exaclty 2 weeks with the end of school.  Until then, crazy behaviors are probable, tears may stream at any time, laughing hysterically at nothing may occur, and running in circles around the mulberry bush is likely. 

Celebratory services for her recovery are to take place on May 6th at graduation, and May 28th at a graduation party.  Please attend if possible as sanity should be reinstated by this time.

  1. What a massive task list you have. (Except when I read it, it seems logical).

    Maybe they need to be prioritized into (x) number of goals per week for check off. You need to do more than one "goal/task" a week to finish in one year (just in case you were math-challenged) LOL.
