Monday:
I visited my grandparents and my Aunt. It turned into quite a sad visit with my Nonno (you can read more about it here).
Tuesday:
I gave my hair a treat! I have been chemically abusing - a.k.a. dyeing - my hair since I was 12 years old and every season I crave a new hair color. Well, instead of giving in to my most recent urge to switch up my hair color, I opted for a treatment. My hair has grown SO much in the past year that I just couldn't go and kill it again. I got a formaldehyde-free keratin hair treatment. It has made my hair silky, smooth, less-frizzy, and it has almost completely reduced my messy curls/waves. It's supposed to last for about 12 weeks and I can already see myself going back to get another treatment when the time comes. My hair hasn't felt this healthy in years!
Wednesday:
Oh hey, management exam. I studied a lot for this bad boy and went into the lecture hall feeling quite confident. Luckily, I walked out still feeling confident and I hope that stays the same when my grades are posted.
Thursday:
This Thursday was probably one of the most significant school-related days of my life. I attended an alumni networking night for my program and finally got an idea of what I want my majors to be and what position I want when I am done school. I think that I have always known what kind of work I'd like to do but I didn't know what the position was called or how to get there. Well, when this woman was describing her job as Assistant Editorial Producer for a magazine, it did not take long for my heart to jump at every word she was saying. She described my dream job. Now, I am stoked that my dreams are back on track - especially since the craziness of being a mom and student at the same time can kind of make them falter.
Friday:
I woke up Friday morning with crazy back pain! Back pain has become apart of my everyday life since having Carter but this was different. I couldn't bend down to pick up Carter's clothes and it was just painful. I rushed to get an hour-long massage. Thank goodness! It helped so much! The only problem is that massage therapy is too temporary of pain relief for me - the pain relief only lasts about a day - and so I have arranged a doctor's appointment to take a deeper look at this back issue. By the evening, I was in better spirits spending time with Carter and the hubby's family. Low-key Fridays are underrated.
Saturday:
More family time! Yay! We went out to an italian pizzeria and followed up with some window shopping to walk off the big meal - and sweets - we had just gobbled down. I snuck in a bit of me time late at night with a trip to the grocery store. I've never really thought of grocery shopping as a way to relax but I guess it can be one of those me time type things.
Sunday:
Mother nature must love us because the sun was out and the weather was perfect. Sadly, I only got to enjoy it from my window. School work took control of my day. My mom helped me out with Carter and took him out to the park. It was obvious that he had a blast because he conked out for a few hours afterwards!
