Spring has sprung-May 5, 2011

How is it possible that I've not posted a single entry since April 23? So much going on, but instead of writing I'm finding no time to, so that will change starting NOW. Racheal's shower went wonderfully. I am so grateful that my former husbands family and mine all gets along so well. Not that it happens all by itself. I have made it a priortiy, knowing how important it would be for the children and family, I've done all I can to ensure that our relationships have been maintained in a postive way, despite the divorce. As well they are all wonderful people that have done the same. There was somewhere around 40 or more people here I think, that included my family, my former husbands family, my present husbands family and some friends of Racheal's. 37 days to the wedding now. I got my marks back and I got 86 percent as a final mark. 98 percent on my final exam. I could not believe it. Somewhere deep inside I still felt like that little girl who couldn't concentrate to save her ass, never did great in school, and always felt inadequate because her brain just wasn't wired the same way as everyone elses. I can't believe how many new things I've been able to learn in a few short months. I have been accepted as a "regular" student at the University, and that is something years ago I could only dream about. I'm starting my next course now, it's an online one. Very intensive, as it's shortened from 3 months to 6 weeks, so it's twice as much, but I think I'm going to enjoy it! My nephew and his wife are expecting in 2 weeks now, and I'm their doula. They are having a home birth, and I was on my way home from a meeting with Shanti yesterday and thought "OMG what if they've been trying to get hold of me." I have no cell phone anymore, and I've been gone for 4 hours. So I went out and got a pay as you go phone yesterday, so I've got something for them and to leave on my resume. I've got to get back in shape. I'm making a committment to that starting today as well. I went for a run tonight...darn near killed me. My chest was hurting, and I had to take an inhaler.....I know crazy. I'm going to a hot yoga class tomorrow. Namaste.
