Frontier Bound
Wow what an experience FB was - I think being around people like me or as my DH says being with my people! The whole experience was spiritual - Frontier staff were well organized and everything ran very smoothly. So the course work dose not start until October so we will have to see how that goes. I think that I am going to enjoy the whole experience- now I need to hunt out a clinical site for the end of next year I hope.

Working Mother Guilt
No matter how much we pretend it is not there it is the guilt of working when your children need you - even if they have a perfectly good father supporting them the feeling I get as a mother when my children are struggling and I can not be there is unexplainable.
I know about all the positives about mothers working and all the negatives and I have chosen to work if in to days society it is really a choice - I have worked the entire time I have been a mother and you would think after eleven years the guilt would get less but no it is as strong as the first day I left the breast fed infant for someone other than his father to care for him.
But I made my choice so work I do and I hope by working I am not damaging my children to much and one day they will understand why mummy was not there for every grazed knee and how much sleep I go with out to lessen the time we are apart.

Nearly at the Start
Firstly I have no idea whether anyone is reading this - for some reason my blog dose not come up on a Google search!
Well I start on my Midwifery course at the end of the month which is very exciting I still can not believe that I will be back on the path- some one at work asked if I would be able to get work as a midwife as was it all worth in - you know what I not even considered work but I will cross that bridge when i come to it - there is a MD in work who said that they would love to work with me and we should look in to it - but a lot can happen in two years. This feels wright if feels like what I should be doing.
Family wise everything is going well we are incredibly busy all the time I have no idea prior to children how much up keep they are - school is like another full time job for parents and then there is all the actives and things like dentist and orthodontics and that's no even taking in to account of feeding and grooming them-
Still would not be with out them - well OK maybe occasionally!
