Starting Over

   I am 30 years old now. I have graduated from high school, I tried the college thing right after high school, guess what? It didn't pan out how I had wanted. So I dropped out and got married and had a family. Now I am going back. I start school August 26th. I am heading in the direction of law school. Yeah I am crazy, I know. But believe me, I have had a LOT of time to think about what I wanted to do if I ever got the chance to go back. I am going to do it, I'm in this for the long haul. I worked at a law office for a while when I was living in Roanoke, Virginia. I saw the good, the bad and the extremely ugly. I know how messy it can get and I want to be a part of it all, good, bad and ugly. I'm sure you might be asking yourself how I am going to manage going back to school with twin infants, a third grader, a husband and a household to run while still keeping up on my health and fabulous physique (giggle giggle). Well the short honest answer is "I have no clue". It can be done and I am going to be the one to do it. If you want something bad enough, it really doesn't matter what other people think or what they say. When I want something I go after it. I really wanted the acting thing too, but it just wasn't in the cards for me which is why I am going to make this be "in the cards" for me. I am going after it with all I've got. I know I'll be a lot older than most when I get out of law school, but I don't want to turn 38 and say "Gosh why didn't I just go to law school because I would be out by now!" People are going to doubt me and tell me that I have an unrealistic life goal but ain't nobody got time for that, I've got a law degree to obtain!

The excellent eater and the not so much...

   My girls are at the stage now where we are doing solid foods. Anna loves bananas, Madee gagged. Anna loves pears, Madee spewed them as far as she could and got angry at me. Anna is great at swallowing her food, she ate almost an entire jar of bananas by herself. Madee is covered by the end of a feeding, or either I have stopped early because she is throwing a fit because I am trying to feed her something that is not her bottle. I think I need some help here... Anyone have a good eater and a not so much???
