Spring Break Aftermath

I needed this Spring Break. I normally need Spring Break but this time I REALLY NEEDED Spring Break. My program has been intense and all-consuming. I am gone from my home 11 hours of the day either commuting or attending school. Insert the first sentence again. So here comes Spring Break. My computer dies (my lovely husband sold some things to buy me a new one, bless his heart), therefore no homework got done. I did clean my room because I have not actually "cleaned" it (I have picked up clothing) since December. I took Josh to 3 therapy appointments. (It has been almost 2 months since I have taken him to therapy. Here I am a future OT and I can't take my own son to therapy? I suck. Oh and the whole gone 11 hours of the day thing doesn't help) I also got my hair done. This was an adventure because my wonderful hairdresser has been busy and she couldn't fit me in that week, so I decided to try someone new. I called the beauty school (feeling daring) and asked for a hairdresser who could cut a funky do. They referred me to Javier. While sitting in Javier's chair, I realized something. Although he does most of the men's cuts and does all those fun designs in their hair, he does not cut women's hair...ever. And when I say ever, I mean EVER. He was clueless the poor thing. He had no idea how to start it, no idea how to translate the picture I brought in, and no idea how to style hair afterwards. On the plus side, he gives a mean shampoo. He had me there for probably 10 minutes. At some point I am pretty sure he was just giving me a head massage in the hopes that he would never have to actually CUT my hair. After sitting in his chair for 4 hours, and looking at my somewhat odd cut, I left. I couldn't sit there any more. Luckily, Jeremy used to cut his companion's hair on the mish so I had him whack off about an inch on both sides where it looked like I had weird puppy ears and, "Wha-la!" Not too shabby! Then Melissa dyed the blonde purple and, "Sha-bam!" I like it! It was an experience but I am not sure one I want to replicate. I also tried to exercise during the break. Not that this will do me any good because now that I am back in school, I will not break a sweat until May. But still, I try. So the other day Josh came home from school and told me (with his ipad) what he did in school. (Side note: This is one thing I have been so excited about. I have never been able to hear about my son's day unless I spent it with him. We play the guessing game when he gets home; "Did you do this? What about this?" etc. Now for the first time, his teachers input what he did in class and he can come home and tell me) "Today I taught my friends how to do a sit up." I died laughing. You see, when I am out of school and get on these exercise kicks, I know Josh notices because he starts acting really oddly (well, more oddly). We will be doing something and it doesn't matter where we are, who is with us, or what we are doing, he will suddenly drop to the floor and start frantically doing sit ups. Makes me wonder what I must look like to him. Anyway, I am back at school *sigh* and busier than ever. Sadly, Spring Break has left me slower, dumber, and less motivated than before. One more month and I get my Bachelors!! HOORAY! *cheering* It is about time. My old butt should have this by now. One small step for Katie, one giant leap towards my goal. One month. I can make it. Then 2 more years to go....
