Late night wonderings...

It has been a busy weekend. My nephew had a new baby early this morning Thaine Austin was born at 3:30 this morning. How exciting. I wish his grandma was around to see him. She passed away several years ago of cancer at the age of 52, she never got to see any of her grandchildren.

It is kind of a sad thing on such a happy day. Makes me value life and each opportunity I am given. I really should be studying for a test I have to take tomorrow in my research in psychotherapy class, but I can't seem to get my head into it tonight.
night all.

Hump Day thoughts

Yea it is hump day. Today I was presented with a great opportunity to get a Master's degree online through a great pilot program through the state. I am so excited about it because it wouldn't cost me anything and I would end up with a MA in Education in special needs. The problem is I am currently paying and enrolled in a great MA in Vocational Rehabilitation program. I love the Voc Rehab program and wouldn't give it up because my goal is to be a licensed counselor, however the thought of getting a double masters is really tempting. I am not sure I am up to twice as much school work as I do right now. I will have to really do some soul searching to see if this is for me. I wouldn't start till next summer because the fall deadline is only weeks away.

Its a good day here today, 66 degrees and just perfect. We are actually suppose to get below freezing tonight and be cold the rest of the week. Not looking forward to winter. Off to do some more school work.

oh my!!

Well I am into my third week of my second year of graduate school. This is so much harder than I could have ever thought. I am having a hard time keeping my head together and getting through this all, but I will keep on struggling.

I had a blast at my crop last week. Next weekend on September 30 through October 1st I am going to a weekend retreat crop. I can't wait, it will give me a much needed break from school and some time just for me.

Happy Tuesday all.

Crop night

I am so excited because I am going to my first crop tonight. I signed up for a chatterbox stitching class (I love stitching already but want some social) and they are having a crop afterwards. I can't wait. I am also signed up to go to a scrapbooking retreat in a couple weeks it will be so much fun. A weekend in the a-frame just scrapping and eating.

I really need to get a head on my school work these next couple weekends to take some time off for that weekend without having to worry to much about it.

Katrina

I have been watching the devistation with Katrina with such a heavy heart. I wish I could just wrap my arms around a family and bring them here to help them. It is so hard to watch, so gut wrenching to see the pain and destruction.

I get so upset when I hear people comment about how foolish they were not to leave. I would like to take those peope's cars, purses, wallets and their credit cards and tell them I will see them in the town about 300 miles away. I want to see how they get there. Don't they realize the majority of these people are living in such poverity already they don't have the means to evacuate the city. They don't have cars or credit cards so it isn't like they can hop a train or plane and just leave the city. Many are single parents or elderly and have no way to leave.

This whole thing has just saddened my life.
