Post number 50

This is the 50th blog post I've put up on this site. So for the 3 or 4 of you who have hung in with me thus far, "Thanks!" ;-)

Last week was hard, and long, and I didn't think I'd get through it. But I did, yee haw. I was very tired on Friday and was on call for a few hours. I'm not sure I would have been much use if I had ended up going to the birth, but I would have tried to be helpful. Ended up pretty quick, so I guess I would have been ok. But I didn't get the call.

Well, I did get a call, but not from my partners, and my kids had moved the phone out of my room and I didn't notice it was gone when I went to sleep. So when the other birth assistant called, I didn't get it. I guess she called someone else instead. But I did get a good night's sleep.

On Saturday K and I went to yoga. It was nice to get back to a class. I really am tight from all the tension of sitting in class all day and studying all night. K and J and I went to a thrift store in Herndon in the afternoon. It was fun, but I was shopped out VERY QUICKLY and happy to get home. They got coats, so it was a good thing we went. (average price coat $15, and they are NICE!)

Saturday night I took N to see Georgian dancers (think Russian) at GMU. It was good, but I was very tired by the time I got home at 10:30 pm. Got up early for church this morning and after we got home K and J wanted to go see Beowulf at the movies (in 3D, no less) so we went. It was, um, interesting. Different. Interesting. They changed the story a little, but kept it PGish. It's was animated, but Beowulf slays the Grendal in the nude (creative shots is all I can say). Not sure I would recommend it, but if you have to study Beowulf in school, it would be easier to watch it and then see what was different in the movie verses the epic.

Anyway, after the movie I ran J to the soccer party (and since they won their division it was a monster trophy). I came home and studied depression and suicide and then went back and picked J up an hour and a half later. Now I'm finished studying and updating the this blog.

Tomorrow is a regular day at school. Test in Psych (on Major Depression Disorder and Suicide, and many some self concept responses (like dissociative amnesia, dissociative fugue, dissociative identity disorder, or DID otherwise known as multiple personalities) Lovely things, aren't they?

I have a dental appointment in the afternoon and J has an orthodontist appointment.

Tuesday is a clinical day (last short day of the whole entire school year, 8 hours from now on, bummer) and then class in the afternoon (bummer again). Then off Wednesday through next Sunday - YIPPEE!!!!

(ok, I do have a ton of work to get done during the days off, but it will be nice to not have to run back and forth to and from school everyday!)
