Spring Breaks

As Arianna's spring break comes to an end, mine is just beginning. These past 10 days have been anything but a break for her. Sleeping 3-4 hours a night has been grueling on her little body and even more so on the rest of us. Fortunately for her she is still a happy and ever so excited about life as a seven year old. Unfortunately the lack of sleep is creating some mania in her actions and bouts of myoclonics at night. So we have pushed through, still going to the pool, playing outside, and initiating the creamery visits of the season (Hokey Pokeys AND Peaches and Cream). Of course this is the week I am starting to up my training, so I guess I can justify the ice cream (ha ha).

We are hoping that we will get some answers at the neurologist next week. In the meantime it is back to school for her tomorrow, and I am going to enjoy the 76 degree weather, working outside, going for a long run, and then we all will be celebrating Averie's first birthday!

A year ago I was tapering down for my first half marathon in Nashville. I am no where near 13 miles this year, but the strains from non-running life have been much more difficult. Running on 3 hours of sleep is not recommended, nor is it safe.

The next month will make or break the Nursing program for many of us. Regardless of our test grades, we will be reviewed in the clinical situation. This is a one shot deal, if we aren't up to par with what our instructor is looking for, we are out. Doesn't matter our GPA. A lot of pressure to say the least.

So as usual, this break is scattered with study sessions, trips to the lab, as well as some visits to friends and doctors, most of all running, some rest and sun exposure!
