Sunday eve

Tonight I am trying frantically to get all my homework done for this week. Tomorrow I have a test in Pharm which I hope to do well on. Will I? I don't know, but I need to start studying!

Tuesday I have a presentation with classmate Matt on Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I'm trying to get it all finished up tonight. Bleech! I have done a lot of leg work and Matt is trying to pull it together to present. It's a challenge.

Wednesday I will do a postpartum visit on the birth that I attended ALL WEEKEND! I was suppose to go to a ladies retreat in Williamsburg, VA. I was planning on going until this client went into labor AND my daughter called and want to come one and see me AND my son's girlfriend wanted to come up with N to visit AND my check engine light came on the car AND I didn't feel well. ENOUGH! I just figured I'd stay home.

So I did. But I didn't get to do much of what I hoped to do. I ended up leaving on Saturday at 2:30 AM to go to a birth (HURRY!) and stayed until 8:30 this morning (Sunday). What did I need to hurry for? I didn't have my books with me, so I didn't study. I did sleep a lot, in 2 or 3 hour segments. I did talk to N. on the phone. I did get to help little Jacob come into the world. And I didn't beat myself up about the choice I made. I was very content to sleep and work and not much else.

I did clean the house on Friday and I did buy food. So tonight, when I needed to make dinner (remember, I came home to bed at 8:30 AM and got up for the day at 11 AM) I had the ingredients to pull together a nice dinner (fish, broccoli, rice). I appreciated eating (we didn't have much food over the weekend) and my family appreciated the meal.

And I got to talk with my sis, which I had wanted to do (another thing I thought about the weekend, Why go and spend time with people I like okay, when I don't even get to talk to my own family much? I would rather have lunch with my sister or mom than acquaintances from church). I am not in the place of making new relationships right now. I'm just hanging on!

Anyway, I'm trying to study and help my kiddos get their homework done (at least 3 of them)...and keep my eye on the girlfriend and my son.

I'm tired! :-)

I was hoping for an update today. Talking briefly on the phone doesn't begin to cover it. I know more about my MN sis than my local sis.

I miss you.
