Randomness (because it's what I do best!)

~ It has been raining for a week and we are all going a little stir crazy. Tomorrow's forecast calls for...rain! Oy. Luckily, Tuesday and Wednesday are supposed to be gorgeous so I am definetely planning on hauling myself and the kids outside to enjoy the lovely weather before it starts raining again on Thursday and Friday. Ugh! i love the rain, but this is a bit much!

~ School is going well for me. I have four classes this semester and I'm really determined to finish them all by September. I've started on English already and my goal this week is to do some research on the history of midwifery. I can't start much on the other two until I get my textbooks from Amazon.ca. They've apparently shipped the books, so now I just wait!

~ We had our food coop sort today. As chaotic and crazy as it is, I really love it as well. There's something about organized chaos that is just deliciously satisfying...especially when you get to take home a bunch of yummy natural and organic foods at the end of it :)

~ I've decided that you're not truly a mother until you've been puked on AND shit on in the same day. This morning Indigo decided to refund all the breastmilk I had so lovingly nursed into him and he yakked all down my back, butt and legs, with a finale of *splash!* onto the floor. Then tonight, I had him on my lap diaperless (not uncommon around here at all), and out of nowhere he squirted liquid poo all over my legs. Niiiice.

~ We're looking into buying an iMac! Jesse's mom can get a discount through some promo that is being offered to her work, so we're checking it out. Our hp pavilion laptop is starting to show signs of biting the dust :-/ It's exciting, but scary too...it means I have to re-learn how to use a computer all over again! I haven't used an Apple computer since junior high.

~ I really need to post more pictures to this blog, eh? Damn my Virgoan tendancies...I have it in my head that I *have* to post process all the pics I take first before blogging them. I really should fire that bitch...lol

~ I started running again recently, but I totally fell off the wagon. I signed up for a Running Room Learn to Run clinic but I've missed the last three runs due to illness, forgetting and conflict of schedule. Now I think I'm too far behind stamina-wise, but I really should just suck it up, go and take extra walk breaks. A friend is moving back to Calgary in July and is giving me her double jogger...how awesome is that?! That means that I could potentially run with Faery and Indigo in the jogger and Nova on her bike or something this summer. Now *that* would rule.

Crystal.
What school do you go through?
Do you go in at all or do you do all your work through correspondence?

I'm enrolled at the Midwives College of Utah. All my bookwork is done via distance learning on MCU's internal system, but I have to seek out midwives to apprentice me to learn the practical and clinical skills. They hold conferences on things like suturing and well woman care every 4 months at the school and I have heard they are amazing (and a really great way to get a lot done in classes), but they are not mandatory.
