Blog Neglecting

My seriously neglected blog is feeling sorry for itself... actually, I've had 3 people ask me why my blog isn't updated... I guess people really do keep tabs on me through this thing. My neglectful blog parenting is simply a result of being too busy to really sit down at this thing and type something out.

Yesterday I went and visited the school that I'm hopeful to get The Son into. It is so perfect. Every question was answered perfectly. Every piece of their curriculum - social, emotional, academic, physical - right on target with what I want. Okay, in a perfect world, maybe they'd offer yoga but... The downside is that it is private and the tuition is expensive. Without regular hours at my current job, there's just no way we can afford to send The Son there. So, I need to find a steady income. I really don't need to make that much but there are so many criteria to my finding a job: I have to be home during the day, have flexible hours, not have to take my job home and make x amount of money - that I'm simply not sure it's possible. I must find a way to make it happen though. The school is that awesome.

This week I've done my yoga practice twice by myself. The first time I tried it in an altered state of consciousness again and, I have to say, that could become addictive. Feeling every muscle in your body, the breathe moving in and moving out, the expansion of our lungs, of the tissue in your body, the joints rotating this way then that...truly a meditation and truly a journey inward. I brought my own music, did my own practice along the wave of my own breath and I really enjoyed it. There is much to be had in a group class but, I'm finding, there is an awful lot to be had with a solo practice too.

In my inner journey this week I've discovered that it is my personality and nature to think the absolute most negative I can about a situation first...from there I come back to reality but I must go the drastic before I can come to the even keeled POV. Drama Queen?
