Getting Back to Normal (Whatever that is.....)

I got in 2 classes this semester - getting there was difficult, almost didn't happen. Turns out that the University here cut half of it's programs and so all those students came over to SCC and registered the first week it opened back in May. Four days after that almost every single class was full. So when I tried to register in mid July for the Fall I couldn't even get wait listed. I went to school the first week trying to get in but was turned down along with many other continuing students. What sucked is that I knew at least 1/4 of those students would drop by mid semester. Anyway, my teacher had been asking in all of his classes if anyone could help this guy out who was in the class that had cerebral palsy. He was having trouble moving his hands. So I figured since I couldn't get into any classes I would volunteer. I sent an email to my teacher Tom and he writes back if I would help this guy out then he would get me in!! Now I have this guy I'm helping AND the classes! Also I've been asked to display some of my artwork for an annual charity ball here on Oct 1st - I'm scrambling to come up with artwork that pertains to Sacramento and the charity. I get to keep whatever I sell So now I've got double the homework and extra work on the side PLUS I have my other job taking care of the brats here in my house....which is overwhelming by itself! but it's good to stay busy. Eat less and don't cry or think about missing my baby as much.
I picked up Pippin's ashes on Friday. The staff had some cards for me and one of them made me this beautiful heart shaped plaque with some colored stones in it AND it had Pippins paw print in the cast. I started to cry when I saw it. I could not believe they did that for me. What an incredible gift! Even though it was sad, I was very happy to have something extra that was part of her!
Do you find this valuable?
