Update on Mama

Kingston is now 4 months old and many of you that has met him have been super nice with your advice and stories of your own children and their many "first", which I enjoy and look forward to seeing in my own child. And many of you also ask how I'm doing, when I attempt to reply I some how go right back to talking about Kingston. So I'm here to let anyone that has asked or care that mama is doing great.

I know I said I wasn't going to go there but I am, I will discuss the topic of "school". Let me first say that school has more meaning to me know then it has before. Marriage is one of those things that seem to be a gamble in these days (sad btw) and although I love and respect Ned with all my heart, I know nothing in life is guaranteed so my education is something I will fall back on if I were to ever be a widower or divorcee. Having Kingston just gave me that extra push I needed and really lacking, this quarter. I'm only 2 classes away from getting my bachelors in hospitality management. Although, I am walking on graduation day June 18, I won't be happy until I get the diploma on the palm of my hands.

So I have more reason to complete this goal but I'm so unmotivated then ever before. I finally realized that since I set this out as my goal 3 years ago I've been going full force and I'm finally losing steam. Instead of finishing the 2 classes this summer I will be taking the summer off and going back fall. I know I know I'm close, but I need the break. I've thought about it and I have NO MORE to give this summer. I need a break. Some of you have even called me crazy for only taking one week off after giving birth but that would have put me behind, but lucky for me I fought my body and took 5 classes the last 2 quarters and was qualified to walk this June. So although, I'm still going to be a student fall quarter, I'm glad to be 90% accomplished my personal goal. We all need a break right!?!?!?

So after all that being said, I would like to say that "I'm tired not because of Kingston but because of school and I'm glad its that way."
