These photos were taken by my babysitter Justyne who watched them for me Sunday night and I just think they are so adorable. Mason fell asleep on Lulu the Lamb despite not being tired and Talan read to himself in his new red rocking chair. God I love my boys!!!!!!!!!Oh my goodness. How is it that there seems to be so many things to do before we leave? And I am so compulsive. I detailed both bathrooms as I can't stand the idea of coming back to a dirty house. I have done 4 loads of laundry, baked cookies (for the airplaine), cleaned out Joe's car as he will be alarmed at how we destroyed it in two weeks, packed for all three of us, organized our office area as it was mayhem and I've done all of this since 1:45pm.
This morning I finally rallied to go down to NIC to inquire about the nursing program. I have been thinking about doing nursing instead of therapy ever since I went to San Diego to visit Hillary. I had sort of an epiphany while I was there and I have just kind of sat on this by myself to see how the idea feels. It still feels right. I will have to repeat 3 science classes and I wouldn't be able to apply until next year. But I could be finished by May of 2011 at the tender age of 40! That doesn't seem too bad to me which is wild because truthfully I thought this might freak me out. :) So my intention is to take one class starting in January, one class over the summer and one class next Fall. I wouldn't start being a full time student until August of 2009 - Mason would be 6 and Talan would be 3.5 years old. The advisor I saw today said I could go for a BSN later on which would obviously open more doors, make me more marketable and increase my earning potential. So it all feels good and sounds acceptable and I think the boys are old enough for me to start this process.
After NIC, I picked up Mason from school and then ended up leading the Al-Anon meeting. Our normal Monday ritual. It was really a great meeting. Aren't they always? :) After the meeting Lori was sweet enough to get me in to Costco and use her card to purchase my medication as I didn't want to run out while we are away. That would be very very bad......for all of us!
Right now the boys are wired off of cookies and I just wanted to sit down for a bit and get lost on my laptop. We are traveling without a working DVD player tomorrow which means I am going to have to be a lot more engaging with the kids. I know which toys will buy me the most time. They arent' exactly small toys but I am bring a large "purse". Chocolate and cookies are my back up plan. :)
Wish me luck. I can't wait to see my hubby and my family.
