You know it's been a long time since you've blogged when it takes a while to remember your password. I always have good intentions to sit down and write but life is constantly going on around this house, and this blog hasn't been much of a priority.
So I'm hesitant to say that it will become one now.
Let's see... My last post was in October. Quite a few things have happened since then.
I finished school with an A and a B. I was hoping for an A in A&P, but oh well. I tried hard and after being out of school for 16 years, I guess it wasn't too bad. This semester I'm taking one class online (Pathophysiology), and then I apply to COTA school in April. We shall see!
My girl finished her semester with 3 A's and 1 B. I was so proud of her! Her first semester attending college and commuting (though now she's a sophomore thanks to dual credit in high school), getting a job, and enjoying her freedom-- I think she did great.
My boys are doing excellent in school. C is still leaving school every day with a smile and is very happy, and when I asked him if he wanted to be homeschooled again or stay in school he opted to stay in. (I wasn't really considering pulling him out. I just wondered what he thought.)
A is doing amazing well in school and especially in theater. He played Reverend Shaw Moore in Footloose and stole the show!! Ok, I am his mom, but I promise he was amazing. I will try to post a video of his solo and you can be the judge.
Besides school and church and theater practice and life, I have decided to take a stab at a new venture. My SIL (who owns a restaurant) is encouraging me to try out some of my gluten-free recipes. At the moment, I'm seeking taste-testers in my area and working on tweaking some recipes, but I'm really excited about this opportunity. If it doesn't pan out, at least I tried and my son is getting some great, healthy food.
Hope your weekend was warm and cozy and your week is fabulous!

I have a new friend
She loves for me to come over and sit on the porch with her and enjoy a glass of wine.
(She calls me her "partner in crime".)
She asks me about school and the kids and what's going in my life.
And she's 85.
Her husband is being treated by my physical therapist husband, and she asked for my company.
And I love every minute of it!
(And not just 'cause there's wine involved, I promise.)
My grandmother is 86, and she and I have a wonderful relationship.
Until my husband got into PT school, I lived 1-2 blocks from her for 22 years. We were always at her house growing up, whether she needed to watch us while my parents were busy or just because I wanted to be there.
To this day I call her weekly, because I love her and want to keep in touch.
I think because of that relationship, I have always felt very comfortable sitting with, talking, sharing with, and enjoying the company of those wise, older women who have been around the block a few times and have pearls of wisdom to share.
(Or to enjoy a glass of wine with.)
I'm pretty sure that when therapy is finished, we'll still be enjoying this couple's company and watching the golf course across the street.
I know I look forward to it.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

School Days, School Days
I sent my mom a text between classes the other day and said, "I LOVE college."
She responded with, "Ok, I know I have never said those words."
But I do. I'm loving school. I love my classes. (Except for my anatomy lab. NOT fun.)
My speech class is a blast. I never, ever thought I would say that, but I love it. Everyone particpates, and even though I'm twice everybody's age (except for one person), I love it.
In fact, I like my teacher so much that I looked to see what else she was teaching, 'cause I would take another class from her just because!
(But she doesn't teach anything else, unfortunately.)
My anatomy class is doable, because my professor loves what he does and he's really, really good. He has great drawings, great analogies, and he's very clear about what will or will not be on his tests.
Now my anatomy lab is another story.
But I refuse to use this blog to bash my professor or tell you how very, very frustrated I am in that class.
Ahem.
Anywho. I am loving school. I love learning and making good grades and meeting new people.
And obviously, I am a total nerd. But I don't care!
'Cause I love school!
Tomorrow I will tell you about my new friend. (Who's not from school.)
