Halves

So I made it through past the halfpoint way of my last year of school--for the RN (ASN) program anyway. Today was our first technical day back to school. I say technical because we had a day of "orientation" on Tuesday that was pretty much worthless. I decided against taking any extra classes this semester towards my BSN. I think the stress of taking extras was really getting to me. Plus, this is the last semester. The last semester!!!! So besides the normal crush of classes and clinicals, we have an 80 hour preceptorship, I have to study for the HESI test, and ultimately the NCLEX, and I'm also doing an honors project. So I'll be plenty busy. I've also been trying to get back into a routine of working out so I figure I'll leave a little time for that :)

Today is also momentous because it is Kaleb's half birthday. I can't believe my little baby is already a year and a half old! I can remember his birth like it was yesterday. While I've tried to cherish every moment I can of Kaleb's babyhood, the time is going by entirely too quickly. I wish I could slow the hours and the days down to keep him little as long as I can. At the same time, though, I love watching him grow into a little boy. He's sweet and funny and a mama's boy. He loves helping and sharing, and talking on the phone. I've been thinking of writing a post about the day Kaleb was born--I want to remember as much as possible and don't want to wait too long. Maybe that will be next :)
