What do you want to be when you grow up Griffin?

While taking Griffin to school today, he asked me the most random question. It's been that way though, ever since he started talking. He asked me, "Mommy, when I grow up....will you be a ninja with me?" It was one of those moments where I wish that I had a tape recorder to capture the cuteness!

In the Blink of an Eye

Things change; relationships, life experiences, as well as, intentions. One thing that seems to remain the same is character. I have found, for me, that no matter how far I go in life, the way that I am when I'm all alone, or when no one is looking; is also the way I am in all of my interactions throughout my life. I like my character I have to say.

OK, now that the intro is out of the way, I recently encountered this very adorable dog at work. She looked like a little teddy bear; a man was giving her to us, he didn't say why, all he said was that he was just doing someone else a favor. I held her in my arms, and I quickly realized that I wanted to take her home. I spoke to her previous owner, and she was elated that "Maggie" was going to a good home. Maggie & Griffin would run around the apartment, Maggie with her tongue hanging out barking, Griffin giggling until his stomach hurt. One day, Maggie started vomiting, and acting lethargic. I took her to work with me, to get her checked out. They said that she seemed to be a little bit dehydrated, so they got her on an IV. By the end of the workday, she was gone. I was so distraught!, how could this dog, that was just running around playing, have died. I immediately started blaming myself, "what could I have done to contribute to her death?" They did an autopsy, her liver was enlarged. It was more than likely, a pre-existing condition, before I got her. Griffin handled her death relatively easy, I guess, because he's so young.

I started school yesterday, I go M-Thu. I'm taking History and Biology. It feels so good to be back at school!, I love taking notes, answering questions, and interacting with everyone. I know, I'm sounding a little bit nerdy; but it's the truth. I feel like it's probably the most productive thing (besides being a mother of course) that I could be doing with my time right now. My only regret, is that I don't get to see Rob as much as I'd like. Right now, I only see him when I don't have Griffin, which isn't very often. Oh well, everything will work out if/when it's supposed to.
