I have a project for ISys writing a little bit of computer code in Excel. I’m sure it’s not that hard but since I’ve never done it before, I need to go to the lab and get help. I also need to write a few papers for my other class but first, the blog.
Emotionally, I feel like I’m on a surfboard—great highs, some lows and a little calm in between. My life is good and in many ways, I am happier than I have been in years. I love the challenge of school, I love having bigger kids—no preschoolers. But there’s sadness over JAC’s choices and as much as I’d like to never let thoughts of it cross my mind, they are there frequently.
I study for several hours each day, sitting and I told myself that after graduation, I would focus on exercise. Well, I see that it’s a bad idea to wait and my body is more than happy to pack on some fat if I keep sitting all the time. So I bought Zumba CD’s. Fun! Today, I had to make one of those government-bureaucracy phone calls and I did an entire segment of Zumba while on hold. Yea for multi-tasking. One day, my ab muscles will thank me, I hope.
Nathan has been sick for 5 days; throwing up for two days and an earache the last three so he’s here watching Tom and Jerry cartoons. If the following link works, it’s pics of my boys at least 10 years ago, maybe more. I LOVE these pictures. The first one is my four oldest boys on the right (Richard, Alden, Taylor, and Spencer) and Jeff, my “adopted” boy on the left (he’s my nephew and hangs out with my boys so much that he's like a brother to them.) The second one is L to R, Alden, his cousin, Joe Compton, Michael Matthews, and Richard.
Loved your blog Kathleen! You sound like you are still in the midsts of Mommyhood. Mine is winding down quickly! What an inspiration you continue to be doing what you do with all of those kids.
