catching babies on purpose, instead of by accident...

My letter arrived today confirming my acceptance into the CNM program at Ye Olde Alma Mater. Damn. Do you think I could leave that school for longer than three years at a time? I mean, really, my frigging student ID number dates from before most of the current freshmen were out of primary school.

So, yes, after the nail-biting wait, I will in fact be, at some point, a certified nurse midwife, a midlevel provider, and a certified member of the professional class. Hm. Do you think I did all this just to get business cards? I wonder sometimes.

Now the next item on the agenda is M1's IEP conference and kindergarten assignment. I know our district has 40,000 kids (and a racial discrimination case pending before the US Supreme Court), but why the fricking frack does it take so long to assign kindergarten placements? The applications are due in February. Assignment letters are mailed in MAY.

In happier news, I'm making excellent progress on my usual five unfinished knitting projects. I went a little ka-razy at the Knit Happens sale and received confirmation of my splurge's imminent arrival via UPS this morning. Ummmmm....Lorna's Laces sock yarn, CTH sock yarn, Mission 1824 wool, DB Cashmerino and a gorgeous hand-dyed (btu not variegated!) worsted that will, someday, become the Hourglass Sweater from LMKG.

Tiring day.
