What is Mom doing now???

Sorry... no pics of me!

*laughs*

I am NOT very photogenic at all...

Anyways...

I'm 32 years old...

I am in my Third (and FINAL) year of Law School!!!

I am currently interning at Legal Aid Defenders Association.

I am in the Civil Law Group, Family Law Division.

I do a variety of work but some examples of the kind of work I am doing are:

Assisting in Pro-Per Divorce Clinics, Expungements, some property claims, name changes, and court observations.

Our office only services those who are 200% or less below the federal poverty level.

Most of our clients have multiple problems and we try to do the best we can.

I really enjoy doing public interest work and would like to do this when I graduate law school.

I am also newly elected to the Detroit - Michigan Executive Board of the National Lawyers Guild! (www.michigannlg.org)

I am very proud and humbled to have been elected on my first try!

I am so happy that I have found such a great group of like minded and successful attorney's to work with as we work towards social justice.

I am also still involved with the Public Interest Law Association, Law Students for Reproductive Justice, and the OUTlaws (LGBT group).

I am currently taking one class which is for my internship.

Since I only go into the office 3-4 days a week for 6 hours, I am really enjoying the extra time with my family!

I like making dinner for my kids most nights of the week.

I also enjoy spending most of the afternoons and evenings with my kids.

I LOVE not having to study every spare minute!!!!!!!

I LOVE not having to force read after they go to bed!!!!

I love being able to breath a little!

This next year will be difficult but I can kinda see the light at the end of the tunnel.

For the future... I have been thinking about a possible move out of state...

I have had the "new child craze" for the past 6 months...

(I wont say baby lust...cuz well...no more babies!!!!)

I cannot wait for our two oldest to begin Kindergarten...but I really dont look forward to being up early 5 days a week...

I am NOT a morning person...

I want the kids to begin music training... probably on the violin or piano...

I also want the boys to begin sports...

I miss my music....

I really, really, really, miss playing...

I have no time to begin playing right now.

I also miss scrapbooking...

I have not yet made time this year to scrapbook.

I also have sewing projects calling my name.

I once again have not made time.

I have had a little problem filling my time with productivity when I am enjoying NOT having to be productive this summer!!!

I love our new pool!

I'm so glad the boys love the new pool!

I hope the Little Lady begins to like the pool!

I am hoping we continue to have a great summer!
