Mid Life Crisis

October 21, 2007

10-21-07

I can't believe it has been almost a whole month since I have written. But since I am the only one has updated in forever. A lot has gone on in the last month. Mike has recovered nicely. He has his follow up appointment tomorrow. I am mixed about how I feel about him going back. In a way I will miss having him here and on the other hand we have seen more of each other in the last two months than we have in our whole marriage.

Football season has ended for Abbey.  She is signed up for basketball season. I am going to be the cheerleading coach for her team. We have our first practice tomorrow.

Emmy is doing fine in school. We have been on fall break this week and the week before she was sick. It was nothing serious just a cold. She has fallen in love with the movie the last Mimzy. She even named her stuffed bunny Mimzy. It goes everywhere with her.

Now on to me. I have finally made up my mind to go back to school. I am taking two internet classes (medical terminology and ethic & legal issues inh healthcare) and two classes with labs back to back Biology 171 and Chemistry 111 and they both have labs which makes my Thursdays last from 8:30-5:10 Yes I know a normal work day for most people. I really need to do an excellent job so I can get into the Physician Assistant program.  My advisor said there is a slim chance that I can get into the program in time to take classes next spring. I am so excited and yet feel so old. The last time I was in college the internet was so new that we were not allowed to use internet material for research papers because there was no method to reference them yet. The last time I was in school people used floppy disks to save papers and stuff. The last time I was in school there were no internet classes and now I have two. I want this so bad.  Is it possible to have a mid-life crisis and 31?

We had family pictures done last week I will try to attach one.

Here is one of just Abbey
