Happy Birthday, Little "Man"
Conversation while shopping for birthday party supplies in wal-mart:
M: Let's get this multipack instead of big bags of chips
P: ok
M: Do we need more than one?
P: yes get two.
M: (checking the package), P there are 24 bags of chips in here, I think that's enough
P: Mom, We are MEN, we get hungry!
Apologies for the bad cell phone picture. I was lucky to get him to stand still long enough for this one!

Man- it's hard with that timer staring you in the face! ( 7 little boys running around doesn't help either)

Happy Dance-
Today is a great day....
9 years ago I gave birth to the sweetest boy on the planet.
He and I did a happy dance tonight because today is his birthday.
Then we danced because I got a 155 on the LSAT!
155 is a pretty good score. 12.5% score 162 and up, 12.5% score under 142. I'm in the big fat middle where 75% score between 142-162. This gives me possibilities to consider. My head is spinning right now.
Isn't it funny, how you wait for an answer for so long and when it comes, it just generates more questions?
The Suspense
is KILLING me!!!!
My LSAT score is here. It's sitting, unopened, in my email inbox. I promised S we would open it together. Hurry up and call me!!!!!!

This is me-
my feet are moving but I'm not getting anywhere. I have so many assignments and things to do it's overwhelming. It's hard to get anything done because when I do get to sit down and work on something my mind is racing about so many other things that need my attention.

Happy Valentine's Day
Just look how far we've come. Right now we are just happy to be together and to have made it through everything that's been thrown at us.
We're stronger, smarter, and much more in love today than we were back when things were easy. On the first year anniversary of my Mom's passing S took me to Florida to help me through that sad day. I hadn't been to Florida in over twenty years. I didn't know that I was in love with S then but she knew we were more than just friends. I loved every minute of that first trip with her! I could not stop smiling the entire time that I was there. S loves the ocean and warm sunny weather. As I'm awaiting my LSAT score I am dreaming of what could lie ahead for me. I have picked four law schools to send my scores to and three of them would put me some where very warm, sunny, and close to S. What if I did well? What if I get accepted to one of those schools? What if S and I get back together within a year? The video below is one of S on her father's tour boat back when we were together.
Happy Valentine's Day, S. Your love is the BEST present! I know we will get back to times when we can relax like we used to.

Weekend in Review
Saturday during the day, I was able to knock out 5 or 6 assignments. It was stuff that was due this weekend or Monday so I'm glad I got some of that out of the way.
Saturday night,I enjoyed watching the Budweiser Shootout. It was interesting and fun. After the race, I stayed up and got a couple more things done and took a midterm. I went to bed about 1am.
Sunday is the worst day of the week- I hate it!
S called me about 3am, she had a bad dream and couldn't get back to sleep. We talked and dozed until almost 8, when she had to get up and get ready for her day. I fell back to sleep.
S called me back about 10am terribly upset. I was upset the rest of the day after that. I have a lot more schoolwork to get done, but I was just out of sorts and not able to get back into school mode.
About 6pm I took my daughter back to her Dad's house. Then I took the boys to Wal-Mart. I had to do some "people watching" for a school assignment, so I did a little shopping while I was there, too.
It's 10:05, the boys are finally in bed, and I'm back at the computer. I hope to get a few more assignments completed before I hit the sack for the evening.
Tomorrow begins another work week! I have some big projects due the 14 and the 20th for school. Cross your fingers everybody. It's crunch time.

A long neglected part of my education.....
Is finally being addressed. Starting today, I'm taking NASCAR 101. I have a great instructor, and she even made sure I had the right attire for today:
So today- as I'm furiously working on my other schoolwork, I'll be fashionably and comfortably attired and listening to the Budweiser shootout. Blog friends are the BEST!!

Ok- Deep Breath
Please send all your positive thoughts/ energy /prayers to McPherson Labs on the Campus of Ohio State University tomorow. That's where I'll be taking the LSAT starting at 8:30 tomorrow. I have studied and prepared and I'm thinking ONLY POSITIVE THINGS. Tomorrow is another big step in our journey.
Last Saturday I was being totally pampered and adored in preparation for this big day. It's been a hectic week. Tomorrow I have the opportunity to reach for something I've wanted my whole life. I'm so grateful to God that he gave me someone that loves me enough to want me to reach for my dreams. Someone that helps me believe it's possible and who has proved it over and over again. Thanks honey.
