I love blog surfing, but I find that most of the blogs are written by young mothers who share stories about their growing families. I love to look at the pictures of the young children and read about the memories they are building while living daily life. As I have mentioned in previous posts - I miss that time of my life. I loved living it. Sometimes I feel out of place where I am right now, but recently I read a blog that talked about having "chapters" in our lives which made me realize it is impossible to remain in the same chapter forever.
So ok - it is TIME TO TURN THE PAGE!!!!!!!
So I begin a NEW CHAPTER!!! The title of this chapter will be, "Sweatin' Cuz I'm An Oldie". As I read other blogs many of the young mothers are pregnant and discuss the discomforts that come with that chapter of their life. Well, hey, this chapter has it's own physical discomforts that I have begun to experience and the first one for me is HOT FLASHES!! Seriously, I will be moving from Vegas in a couple months to a much cooler place, but I won't be leaving the heat behind. I will be taking with me my own private little summer time that will spontaneously occur with no warning at all times of the year. Great!
When a infant is born prematurely one of the problems they have is not being able to thermoregulate their body temperature . So I guess the HOT FLASHES is the first step in the aging process of reverting back to the infant state. It's kind of interesting how our inner body and our mind revert to the infant state, but our outer body takes on the characteristics of a raisin. Ya, real interesting I say with sarcasm.
Without sounding too cliche' - "Today is the first day of the rest of my life". I begin my new chapter. I will think of it as an adventure into unchartered territory (by me anyway). I will always carry with me those past chapters - they have molded me into who I am today. I cherish that part of my story. So far it has been the best part, but I will move forward with excitement and determination as I conquer the challenges that lie ahead. There is still much to be written - who knows, the best might be yet to come. I hope so. Wish me luck.
Whew!!!! Is it hot in here?

I'm glad I was around for your page turn. I am excited for you and Billy to get out of Vegas. Idaho is the best refuge from southern nevada. I hear that they have things in Idaho called trees, grass, and streams and lakes, with uh,,fish. I have also heard legends of clouds in the sky that release water onto the earth (I'd hate to see that water bill) and something called snow that isn't a drug. Please, when you get there let me know if it is true. But, for now we must slay the dragon before us that is Pima.
I also am glad I was able to meet you and be around for an impotant part of your life.. i will miss getting to see everyone in class you guys have been my life for the past 2 years i will be sad to leave you all but its time to be done with pima. I hope and pray that Idaho will be amazing for you and i wish you all the best in life up there with work and everything... we will have to keep in touch thru this at very least.
