Miss Mary and the Ninja's

The instructors at class call me Miss Mary. While I know it is out of respect, it makes me feel old. Especially when I was being trained by the 14 yr old black belt instructor. That kid is amazing! I also am finding I don't like being a white belt. For the simple fact that it feels like they are drawing straws as to who is going to instruct us. We had 4 white belts last night. I believe the oldest was 11 yrs old, not counting me. LOL I did learn my defensive moves last night though. My partner was the 11 yr old. He was supposed to punch me in the ribs, his aim was a little high and I got it in the boob. Yeah, I said something like, that was a boob not be confused with my ribs which are much lower. I thought the instructor was going to explode trying to hide his laughing. I was really tired yesterday so I did not have as good a class as I normally do. Plus I have alot on my mind and could not really concentrate on what I was doing.
I have just been really out of it lately. I am really in need of this vacation we have coming up! I just need to get away and be silly and not have a schedule to stick to.
Since school has been out I notice a big change in how Kota acts. He is back to that loving little boy. I can't tell you how many times a day he tells me loves me. And that is the best thing to hear as a mom. I also think a big part is having his big brother back home. He really missed him alot. So kota's world is all in order.
Now if I could just get myself back to normal.

Sounds like you're been very busy. You need some down time! Are you still looking into home-schooling Kota next year?

I am so glad. That does indicate that whatever the problem was for Kota was tied to school. It seemed like it was those troubling kids and the school's inability to sort it out.
Your class sounds like so much fun!

You know, being oppressed by a bully can cause a change in a child. Younger son went through that. He's back to being his old self because he's safe and not being bullied. I think that this martial arts will help him to know that he's in control and not the stupid bullies of the world!

Give yourself the time you need Mary to adjust to this new schedule of yours. Your working your body more than it has been used to and that can be exhausting. I'm sure, after a short time, you'll be feeling better than ever and energized. You're definitely on the right track.
Yay! for Kota. He's obviously so much happier away from the mean kids. He's going to be just fine.

Mary, don't wait for a vacation to give yourself a break. You are going to drive yourself crazy sticking to a schedule all the time. Think about giving yourself a break from to do lists and timelines. Just a thought to cheer you up....
