A new year, a fresh start

Today is my birthday (my sister and I's birthday) and we're 29. Seems like a good year to make a life transition... like it's a year shy of life-routine. It's interesting that I haven't been able to settle into something I wanted to do or be the rest of my life (other than wife, Mom, Christian, etc.) in terms of work or dream, but I've been able to have all things truly fall into place for it to be this year.

I'm shocked sometimes that a year ago I was just starting the journey to get things ready to apply... and here I am. It was difficult to start school again after being gone from it for so long, but it was refreshing too, I love to learn, and there was something so invigorating (sorry, it's a lame word, but it's true) about being back in college. I haven't loved the online classes as much as I did my real classes at the local college, but what do you do when they drop your registration from computer problems? You just have to get creative. Oh, and how I said in the past that I like semester classes because you can learn more because they're longer? Yeah, I take that back. I don't like that (unless it's an art class), they have been draggggging out I swear! I'm ready for things to be done and I have another 3.5 weeks of school left. I just need to hold out and have patience (laugh), my forte right?

As my birthday present, I'm not doing any homework of any shape or form today AND, both of my kids are still sleeping and it's almost 9:30!! My god, I am a blessed Mom today - what a treat! That's at least an hour and a half longer than normal! Of course we have places to go so I'm going to interrupt my blessing in a few minutes...

Well, here's to a wonderful year...
