Knowing me, Knowing you... Adoption & our Happy Family.

I'm so proud of myself.  No need to really go into details about what I've done.... but if you're really interested.... in the last month I have changed my life for the better three times! 
   First, I started another semester of school and - ahem - I'm doing great!  Who ever knew I could get A's & B's in college!  Certainly not me!  I actually have told my Mom for years that I have a learning disability.  I wasn't just saying it get out of school.  I really thought I did.  I had such a hard time in high school and it only got worse in college that I really thought I must have SOMETHING wrong with my brain.  Well, now I know the truth.  Don't tell my Mom she was right, but all those times she said I just "wasn't applying myself" which pissed me off even more, was correct.  I was not applying myself or even really trying to do my work, study, etc.  I had NO INTEREST in going to class and as heartbreaking as that was to my parents they really should have not forced me.  It cost them a lot of money and our relationship a lot of heartache.  I don't know what you say to a kid who is not ready or does not want to go to college after high school and I hope I don't face it myself in 15 years with Mia, but I do know if they try a semester or two and want to quit I would let them.  Its far easier to start over with a few credits than to try to repair a GPA marred with f's, d's and WX's.
Second, I started a new healthy eating plan!  That's hard for me to put out there, but I did.  I'm doing it for myself so I will be healthy.  I'm an old Mom and I want to be around for Mia for a long, long time!  No one can care for her like I do.  I'm proud of that.  Which leads me to number 3!
As you can see from previous posts, I finally moved Mia to a new school!  I have been stressing about this move for months and I finally did it.  I feel so comfortable with my decision and I'm glad I didn't wait one more day.  I will miss a lot about her old school, but it was not the right fit for Mia.  I can't wait to see her blossom at her new "big girl" school!!!!
