bio/psycho/spiritual integration

that is the title of the course I am taking this weekend.

wow! WOW!

I believe everything is connected.

I believe every experience affects us on each level, to some degree.

I believe I shall finish my lunch break and get back to class.

Ben 1 sink 0

The sink in my bathroom had a clog. Ben leaned under the sink the other day to "listen" to the water and try to figure it all out. He said, "Mom, let me know when we have time to fix this. It's just dripping here" (pointing to the P trap).

Tonight I handed him a plastic bin, towels, and a long screwdriver.

We set the towel and tub under the pipes. I loosened the nuts and he

removed the P trap. "eWW! this is stinky!" he complained.

I had him release the stopper assembly and take out the stopper.

He refused to use the screwdriver and push the clog out.

But once it was out, he put everything back together.

woo hoo!

He knows he can clean a clog (prep it for mom to push out) but does not want to be a plumber. He informed me he wants to be a police officer.

When I told him he'd be dealing with a lot of other yucky stuff he said, "it won't be this bad."

I'll let his Dad explain that one later.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!

Fall term 2009 started today! woo hoo!

count down to June 2011 has officially began! (as a full time student, that is)

I will be stretching my mind, creativity, and body.

Math, communication classes, drawing, and yoga.

Yep, yoga. No, it's not for credit.

The transition from the end of ICYM to being a full time student is complete.

I am looking forward to this "routine" for the next few years.
