A New Year- a New Plan!

So I’ve decided postpartum doula-ing insn’t something that interests me as much as birth work by far… so I’m not going to persue that certification right now.

I am still dedicated in getting started with PfB…. I’m almost at my goal to pay for it! I’m going to take the March Class instead of the April class- so that I will only need to miss 1 day of class- not 2. I need to start working on a backup arrangement ASAP for this!

I currently have 2 clients, and 2 more that may hire me, which is wonderful! Hopefully I can keep staying this busy, I love it!

Midwifery school- on that front exciting new things will be occuring in some months- but right now it’s on the DL! I’m working hard on prerequsites! I’m doing a math and A&P this summester- in the summer I’ll be taking 2-3 more classes, and again in the fall.

 

So not too much to say… just working hard on some things, and needing to keep working on others. But I needed to make a quick update at least- it’s been about 3 weeks since I did! What with the holidays things were crazy, so it was hard to find the time.

Oh- and we’ll hopefully close on the house SOMEDAY! It really is frusturating… I want to be in it now! But we can only be patient… it’ll happen soon, I have to believe.

Updating my goal list (aka biting off more then I can chew!)

I think it’s time (already) to update my to-do/ goals list.
