For the first time in my life I had a real massage by an actual LMT. It was incredible! I think this may have been one of the best birthday gifts I have EVER had! Big shout out to my sister-in-law and her mama for watching my kiddos and supplying me with SUCH a treat.
I did not realize how mess up my muscles were until now. However with knowledge comes responsibility and now I have even more of a responsibility to myself to get my muscles workd' out every once and a while. At one point during the session I felt like I was out of body it was pretty crazy. I guess you don't really realize how much you have neglected yourself until it is brought to your attention and sometimes you need that one than once.
School is going well, I am really enjoying my Doula workshop and can't wait to finish that so I can take the next step and start attending more births with more knowledge and having them count towards my certification. I have a really great teacher, if anyone is interested in taking a Birth Doula workshop, Big Belly Services has a great class with an exceptional teacher. I really enjoy her laid back teaching approach and I feel like I am really absorbing all the information she gives forth. And my classes at MCU are going smoothly it is slowly coming up mid-terms and that kind of freaks me out but I am sure I will do fine. I have practically finished one of my classes. It was an introductory class to the school and I only have one more check-in and that will be finished and then one of the books for my other class that I was supposed to read and then write this paper on reflection is done. This book Born in the USA by Dr. M. Wagner, it was really great I would recommend that book to anyone that is curious as to why your healthcare system is so mess up when it comes to pregnancy and birth, great read.
Well right now all my kids are taking a nap and I should probably take advantage of this time and study or finish writing one of my papers. I am having fun learning even though it is a challenge with the life I live. Enjoy the first day of summer. ttfn :)

Birth in October/November
Husband
Children
Family
Friends
And Etc...
Crazy to look at this list and think and there is still more that is going on in my life. Things are really starting to get to me however I am trying my best to stay above water and I still am just starting out. Wow! Being the main source of income in the house, trying to live out a dream/calling and worrying about if I did this at the right time is plaguing me. But you know what if you want something bad enough and know it is the main reason you are on this earth you will make time for it. I am telling myself this, it is a good reminder that I need every once and a while. I just listened to this training video from my school and it was great I feel I really benefited from it. It was teaching on how to diagnosis yourself and where you are with your journey and I see myself somewhere between the call and the wall. I know it is not the most positive place to be but for right now I accept it because I feel like it is a benefit to recognize where I am currently, live through it and learn from it. Especially because I see this as a test of how I am going to do in the long run I want to make sure I pace myself even if I feel like I am falling behind with my studies, I know that this is only for a moment and I can get pass this. Right now four years seems like a long shot but once a person gets into the grove of things time flies and you don't get time back.
So I few things I have been thinking about and have been overwhelming myself about. Number one money, oh how I hate money it really is the root to all evil because that is the main source of my worries but I know I am not the only one in that boat. Second these different workshops I want to do. I really want to go to this Birth Boot Camp workshop in Dallas, TX in October this year and I am trying to come up with the money. I have a few ideas, first one I am going to tackle is selling breastmilk on onlythebreast.com, maybe doing a fundraising barbeque and working harder, even though I don't know how that is even possible. Ha! Lastly, my family, of course they are always the most important because the last shall come first. But I am just concerned about how I spend my time with my children because they are young and I don't want to just go gung-ho on my dream and leave them feeling neglected by their mommy. Also for my husband even though he is a man he can take it...hehe!
Also I still do have my gofundme account but I don't want to keep pushing that. It is open and if people would like to help me along with my calling I am more than happy to accept the contribution.
I know it has been a little bit but I will try my best to keep y'all update and feel free to share my page if others are curious about how this all works I am open to questions and would love to reply.
I guess I haven't really talked about my homework, things are going really well I am only a week behind in my Bio100 and Mdwf100 class but I am pretty much done with my Prod100 class which is a great feeling and once I am completely done with that class I will feel better about spending more focused time on the other two classes that are coming along but not quite like I would like for them to come along right now. But it's all good :) ttfn
Update: Here is my address for the selling of my milk :)
