The Blog

After getting in a few short blogs,I am still having a hard time trying to decide what to write about. I'm kind of old school at my age, and never really did write a lot in a journal or diary.  Over this past weekend i did get out for a few beers with some friends and had the opportunity to meet a few new friends, it was a good time. I am still having a problem adjusting to the whole school thing and homework again, but I can not give up. I wont let myself..... In fact, I'm ready to log off and get to my other school work.

Birthday week/Birthing week

This has been a crazy week in my life for sure.  I have two very close friends for the last twenty-five years or more.  We have grown up together, raised our kids together and gotten very close in pretty much every aspect of our lives.  As i said the other day on my blog, this was the week of my birthday and the two friends daughters had their babies this week also. The first baby (Jaxon) was born on Monday,September 13th, and the second (Wyatt) was born just last night, Friday,September 17th on my birthday.  Now I have a birthday buddy!  This was a very exciting week for me, now us three friends have more history together that we can talk about and enjoy for the rest of our lives.  Other than that, I'm trying to learn this computer a little better and get through another day of studying and homework. Enjoy your weekend everybody.....

My First Computer

Can you believe it, on friday I will be turning 47 years old. How did that happen so fast ?  Don't laugh.....you'll hopefully be saying that some day about yourself.  I just got my first computer the other night ,and i just started back to school after a 25 year break from being a student.  It's really been a scary,exciting and busy few weeks.  I keep telling myself I can do this,I can do this!
I like the people here at school,  everyone has been friendly and helpful. I feel i've made a few friends, I hope so anyway.  All the school work is very different right now for my otherwise normal life. I'm seperated and living on my own for over two years now, I can't say it's been easy.  Now  I feel there is hope in sight!
I hope who ever reads this may feel they have another friend.  Good luck everyone...

A Little About My Family and Me

It is Sunday , September 12.  I have had a pretty uneventful weekend, as usual.  I find for the most part i'm usually quiet.  I do enjoy having wine with friends and listening to music when i have the time.  Thanks to a great friend i'm getting ready to purchase my first computer. That is very exciting to me.  I have alot to learn and im ready for all I can take in.  On Friday i did get to spend a couple hours with my son.  That was a good time,something I dont get to do very often.  He is 22 and a very busy guy.  He bought his first home last year and is renovating it,plus has a fulltime job as a boilermaker at Baldwin Powerplant and is also a firefighter for the town he lives in.  A busy guy, i'm very proud of him as any mother would be. 
  I do have a birthday coming up this week so hopefully i will get some more family time in. Thats always usually interesting and fun, usually?

In the beginning..........

Hey its me, Jodi L.  This is my first posting on my new blog.   It is very exciting but foreign to someone at my age.  The words school, class and homework have not been in my vocabulary for quite awhile.  I've had alot of interesting and strange things happen in my life and starting over is my most recent new challenge at this milestone in my life.  I am recently divorced and as of about two years ago i moved into an apartment and took over my own life.  This transition has not been an easy one, but I know i'm strong enough to get through it all.  I always do.  I can't afford to give up.  Life is just to short for that!  I am thrilled to have received the opportunity to go back to school and am trying hard to be a good hardworking student.  Readjusting a persons life after twenty years and then some is not an easy step to make.  Guess i'm signing off for now, got homework to do.
