Oh, that's awful. A girlfriend of mine was just certified as a yoga instructor, she's also a psychologist into mindfulness-based therapies who does not have strong opinions about childhood education. You're not in WA state by chance?

As for voting, most of the 18 yr olds I know and have known were excited to vote for the first time. It is an important adult responsibility.

That type of instructor would be perfect for me. I think the lady who taught my class was just mildly insane. A woman in the class approached me afterwards and told me that the instructor was rude to people in the class regularly. I called to complain and they told me the same thing on the phone. I wonder why she still has a job?

That's crazy! You'd think especially in this economy someone like that would be out of a job. I hope you are able to find a class not led by the mildly insane.

Good luck! It's like riding a bicycle, right? You'll be in my thoughts for a smooth transition.

If of all people ME, can get up EVERYDAY of the week, day after day no break, of getting up at 6am to either take TG to work or go to work myself, not going back to sleep, then I think you will do JUST FINE transitioning back into work, so good luck, if I of all people can do this, you can do that.

Please, Txt. I have spent many, many years getting up before the sun. I am prior military- I know what it is like to go days and days without sleep and very little food too boot. I work full time, go to school full-time, run a household and take my son to karate two times a week and he also just recently finished up ice skating lessons for hockey. I know what it is like to get up early and run myself into the ground throughout the day. I just enjoyed the past 6wks of not having to do any of it
