So the other night I was pretty freaked out man. It was a shock to the system, and one that came at me after 3 days of very little sleep, a stressed out boy that was sad that we were moving back to SoCal, and of course, the stress of school, and life.
Turns out, (as always) the things that seem like setbacks and total chaos and destruction are actually little signals that tell me I was going the wrong way.
So just a day later I feel better than ever, and though nothing is certain at the moment, I feel like my game plan just might work. And if it does, then I will be leaving here maybe a year later than planned, but with honors and ready for anything :)
Had a good long talk with mom tonight too. And I will be able to sleep tonight knowing that everything is going to work out, or at least we will all try our hardest to make it so.
And Melissa, if you want to be inspired, there are a ton of us single mamas working this UC Berkeley world. Some of the most amazing people on the planet are mama students right here. My neighbors and friends. I'm lucky to have them, and I hope you come join us :)

My first blog shout out! (woohoo!) I'm glad to see you're feeling better and more OPTIMISTIC today :) Right on!!
I really had no idea how many single moms were at Berkeley. Since your entries stopped I clicked on the first link on your page and it led me to Ms. Bar B's blog, who I've been keeping up with for several months now (Hi Ms. Bar B) I'm not signed up on this blogger site, so I really don't have any way to make myself "seen" on here. I think BOTH of you are great and there are so many questions and so much advice I'd love to get from you. I mean, hello, not onlyh did you get ACCEPTED to BERKELEY, but you've been LIVING THE DREAM! That's HUGE! And I know its not easy...
I can't wait to hear how the whole Honor's thesis goes. I'll be praying that you get a sponser. And you're right, you CAN do. You WILL make it happen. Hell, you've made it happen this far...
