friday......

ok, so.....today is friday, and my youngest is angling to go to the annual cross-town rivalry football game......an event that i have yet to attend and see no reason to start at this late date......what i really want to do is to come on home from work and lounge about.....maybe rouse up enough energy to make a bread pudding out of the leftover loaves in the refrigerator.....but driving back and forth into town over a football game isn't high on my list......i do need to create an exam for my class....cannot use the old one because one of the students is the daughter of a past student, and she would have an unfair advantage.....at least there will be no new lessons to study before next thursday.....i will be teaching again spring semester.....which is good news.....this class represents my personal travel fund....and one likes to know that one's fund will stretch on another 5 months.....i drive to l-burg this morning, where there will hopefully be clients to see......yesterday in my thursday county i had many positive experiences...the kind of day when i was certain that i had chosen the right path, because i felt that i was in the right place in the right time to intervene with knowledge that only i could provide.....these scenarios involved breastfeeding mothers....both first-timers with difficulties that i had personally encountered....and such first-hand experience is invaluable in the nurturing and support of mamma who want to successfully nurse babies.....some things may be found in books but distressed mammas won't know where to look......ah well.....it is nice on occasion to feel like i have something valuable to offer.....or at the very least that i am worth what they pay me, which, by the way, is 5% more than i was making....thanks to my recent raise......all in all life is good......the least of which is that it is friday.....
