Nothing new going on.....

.....I'm taking my last math course this spring. Fun times. During the summer term I will be taking ceramics. I anticipate this will also be fun times.

Xander is in daycare 3 days a week. I've been trying to take him on more outtings seeing that the weather has been gorgeous lately. The image above is from our trip to the UM Natural History Museum. Xander would stop his mad dashing to look at the dinosaurs and other displays. If he stops running for anything you know he's interested!

He will be going to the Toledo Zoo next week with his daycare. I'm slightly jealous....I wanna go to the zoo! We are planning on taking our own trip there soon. Tony and I both love the zoo and I know Xander is old enough now that he will get a huge kick out of it:) On our outting to the park with auntie Heehaw (Miha) we came across some goslings that actually let us touch them!! I think I was more excited than Xander. Of course I didn't have my camera.

A job for me is in the near future. Whether it's going to be at Starbucks, in a studio or for myself is yet to be decided. It seems very feasible at this point to get a job of some sort. My classes should only take up 2 days a week (sans lab time and studying) for the remainder of my semesters until I graduate. I've been working on getting flyers made to post around town. Also, I've been working on getting up a website to house my portfolio. Both of these projects are half done! At least I have buisness cards ordered:P

Other than all the daily comings and goings we're doing well. I feel like a crazy lady most of the time and forget my name most days....but, I think that will pass soon enough. I hope.

As of Mom's birthday I began what I think is a ritual that I will continue. I bought a card, filled it out, sealed it and put it in a box. Sounds crazy, but it makes me feel better. I think it makes me think actively about her and with each card the reality sinks in a little more. Most of the time I still feel numb.....the cards make me feel something. So far there is a birthday card and a mother's day card in the box.

I don't know how many of my family members (and friends:)) still read this. I know I haven't kept it up like I should. But, if you do know that I love you. I love you all so very much. I think of everyone of you every single day. I took Mom's strength for granted and now.......................

I don't know how to say what I'm thinking or feeling........rest assured I'll let you know when I figure it out.
