It has been a couple of weeks since I blogged. Just thought I would do a quick update. Life is good right now, I feel my blessings coming my way and I am very grateful. I just started summer school this week, not sure what I was thinking on that. I mean, I know why I took the class but I really should have taken a break because things are about to get really crazy. It's cool though, I am taking a class that can only benefit my journey right now ~ Nutrition~. I am learning a lot and while I know a lot of it doesn't apply to me, our nutritional needs are a little different with the malabsorption issue, it is still valuable information. I think I am going to enjoy the class. We have to do a group project and I am doing mine on how to treat ADHD in children with the diet. This topic is near and dear to me since my son is ADHD. I may even try some of the stuff out on him cause his meds ain't working. I took him to McDonald's today, someplace we don't go often. I asked him to walk down to that end over there and get yourself a straw, I didn't get myself anything, just got him a meal. He walked over there to where the straws were then came back and asked me if I got him a straw. WTF!?!?! I am like, what did you just walk over there for if you didn't get a straw, poor thing, didn't know an answer to that. He can't focus for nothing right now. This is a perfect time to see if there is something natural that I can do to help him while he is not in school. Anyway, my eating habits are getting better although I need to do better planning because sometimes I find that it is 4 in the afternoon and I haven't eaten anything and that is not a good idea for me. The weight is coming off very slowly but I am confident that I will get to where I want to be. I will be starting my new job on June 29th, I am very excited about it. Next week on the 23rd I am going to orientation for Nursing school, it starts in August. After this summer class the only classes I have for the next two years are Nursing classes, all electives and other mandatory classes will be complete. I will probably take some occupational spanish though, have a feeling that I am going to need it. I haven't been to the gym much but I have been staying active playing tennis and walking. I am in a really happy place right now and I definitely know who is to thank for that.
