I don't know where to start - it is far too late to even try to get my thoughts in order now - but it was gooood and such a buzz.
Thank you to all the people who came to support me - I really appreciate it. If you didn't make it yet, I will be back there in the next while and can meet up with you!

Yesterday was the final hand in day in
college. We have been there for three years
now. It is kinda sad but also a massive relief.
It is hard to think about not being with these people again but there are a couple I will more than likely stay in touch with. Love them or hate them - they have become "family" in that time. I will miss the support and craic of the tutors terribly too.
I can safely say that doing that course changed my life. I am a completely different person to the one who sat in the Lecture Theatre on the first day back in September 2004, nervous and hating every second and wondering if there was any way I could quietly slip out without causing a fuss.
It's a massive relief because I have put my life on hold over the past two months in order to get this last project done. It has eclipsed my family life and my work life - I have done no proper work for ages which, obviously isn't helping to pay the bills and the children are also voicing relief that tonight will be the last night of it all. Of course we have gained the Bailey Dog in that time so I have been a lot more physically active with the children, going for loads of walks with them but they are fed up hearing that I am busy and need to work at the laptop every time they look at me. I have promised that there will be a break from that for a while.
Tonight sees the culmination of all that work. We are having an opening night at a local gallery of ALL the students' work from both the 2nd Year Full Time and our 3rd Year Part Time courses. It will be exciting to see everyone's work finally up on the walls. Judging by what I saw when I called over to the gallery yesterday some of the photography is top notch and I'm in good company.
Lots of people I know are coming to the exhibition and I am really looking forward to seeing them all. Jessica is being allowed to stay up past her bed time in order to visit - the children are mighty excited about going!
So, all in all, yesterday was a great hand in day - full of highs and then a few high-ers!
I was finally sitting down to some tea last
night just about nine when I got a text photo from my
brother - I AM AN AUNTY!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY
Anne had a HOME BIRTH and produced a whopping 8lb 9oz baby girl - as yet un-named - will update when that changes - but I understand about not having names ready. It took us three weeks to name our David. Jessica I THINK was longer! You have to live with a baby to see what they are - you can't just slap any old name on them!
I had a quick phone call with the proud father this morning getting all the details out of him. I have to say that MIDWIVES RULE. I think that midwives are the most important people in the world and also the most undervalued! It sounds like both David and Anne gained so much from the home birth and that the midwives they had all to themselves were an integral part of that experience.
The 29th May seems to have been a good day for everyone then!
