finishing yesterday’s post

4) What do you consider to be your greatest personal achievement? Wow. Another tough one. I’m not sure I’ve really accomplished very much at all – it seems so much is a work in progress. And my life has been so incredibly easy or my memory so incredibly flojo that I don’t remember any struggle. I’ve had moments, but honestly, I don’t really think I’ve ever achieved anything great. I suppose this is a wake-up call to get to work!

5) Describe the happiest moment of your life. This is so hokey and I keep trying to come up with something better, but each time I read this sentence I keep imagining the same scene. Having Jesse handed to me immediately after giving birth to him. The others were all homebirths and so much more lovely and serene and you’d think they’d have been a better memory. Becoming a mother for the first time, regardless of the environment, keeps popping up as an incredibly happy moment for me. The second most happy would probably be any moment I’m headed down the road to an unknown destination.

Bonus: If you could change one public policy or law in Mexico what would you change? I would like to see some kind of change implemented in the way that children are signed up for school. Parents needing to take entire days off and deal with the enormous red tape to enroll their kids makes it very difficult for kids to get this most basic stepping stone. While we homeschool, we do it from a position of privilege.

Rivergirl sent me these questions and it was a pleasure answering them.  If you’d like to do the same,
1. Leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.”
2. I will respond by emailing you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone
else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them
five questions.

My leg is getting better – I’m still hobbling but now I’m finally able to hobble so I’m thinking it was only a Grade 1 tear.  I’m trying to keep active by swimming (sea – ROUGH!) and doing exercises that don’t involve my leg.    Still icing and elevating it and hoping for a good recovery.
