How do you feel? A little light headed.

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 :)
