Hi Everyone!

Time sure does fly when you are on the go non stop! I am REALLY looking forward to my summer break this year!!! The students have another 36 days to go...not that I am counting or anything! lol

I am in my last three weeks of Cinical Chemistry and then I'll have one more month of classes and I'll be DONE!!!! YAY!!!! :D Then my externship is "supposed" to begin. I say supposed to because this school still has not found any sites for us yet. So keep your fingers crossed for me.

This summer will continue to be busy....Jessica will be going to Texas as usual, hopefully I'll have an externship to go on, and my son....UGH! Poor Toby needs to have surgery on both feet!!! I am not sure if you all remember but we tried casts on each leg for 6 weeks last summer with Toby and that helped a bit for a little while but not enough. It's time for the surgery. His doctor wants to lengthen the bone in his big toe on both feet. He explained that your foot is like a tripod and your big toe, pinky toe, and heel are like the legs of the tripod and should all be touching the ground at the same time. Well you guessed it Toby's does not and he has NO arch at all. This is throwing his ankles, knees, hips, and back off so he is in a lot of pain most days and walking and standing for too long is very painful! The surgery is out patient which is good but recovery time can be long and he'll be on crutches all summer or longer. Trouble is his school is all year long. Not sure how to work this out! :/

I am still not divorced yet. There is no state assistance to help with that and right now I can NOT afford a lawyer. So I feel a bit stuck and he keeps bugging me. This weekend he got mad at me for trying to pay to renew the tag on the car...I know shame on me! lol

Well that is what I have been up to...I hope you have all been well! I have been having fun keeping up with a lot of you on facebook!

Hugs, Jen

Wow! You're almost done with school! Hurray! Best of luck with finding your externship. Sorry to hear about your DS's surgery. That sounds pretty brutal, as does the conversation you must have had about renewing the tag! Give me a break! ;) Hang in there with school and keep us posted!

Jen, it is great to hear from you...sounds like school and life have kept you very busy!
What is your internship in?

Sorry to hear about Toby and his surgery...can't be easy to have to be on crutches in the summer.

Take care and definitely keep us posted.

I bet it feels good to finally be done, hope they can find placement for you soon.
Oh I sure hope this surgery can take away his pain, it sure sounds like it is messing everything up right now. It is a bummer to have to be on crutches all summer but hopefully he will be in less pain soon.
I am sorry about all your going through with your divorce, wish you all the best in your future dealings. Glad to see you coming back to update us
