Today I had a surprise waiting for me at the end of my work day. Dash came to pick me up from work and got Thai takeout for us to eat. He called it a "picnic in the car." It was amazing!! He got me Panang Curry and Beef Pad Thai for himself. What a lovely way to end the day!
It's been sunny here lately, although it's been REALLY cold!! Even though I haven't lived in Arizona for some time now, my mind still thinks that sun equals warmth. The kids at work are enjoying getting outside. It's SO good for them. And really makes our day much better.
Things are finally getting straightened out for 2009. It's taken awhile, and it's been quite stressful. But I'm glad that some relief is here.
I miss being a full time student. I know that by this time next year I'll have said many times that I miss only being in school for 5 credit hours. I got nostalgic for it this week for the first time in a long time. I'm glad that I can do what I'm doing, but it's hard. I think it's wearing on me more than I thought it was. Or expected it to. But all in all, I'm okay. I'll be grateful at the end of this. What's funny though is that I look forward to the day when I have kids and can share this experience with them and then tell them that the world is theirs...they can have whatever they want and they will do it better than I ever could.
It's interesting to realize that while much of our lives are taken up by "education" and schooling that it isn't the ONLY aspect of our lives. I think we forget that sometimes. We can plan all we want but actually coming out on the other side of school is something else entirely.
