Its official. I start school tonight.(Yay for the extra income when I am done!!!!!!) Andy and Justin start next Tuesday. I am going to miss the lazy summer days with the boys, but I think they are ready for a change. They are starting to get at eachothers throats about everything. They even tattle if the other one smiles at him for something. Usually the smile is because of something mean...but come on. I am losing my patients with the constant bickering- so this will be good. They will each have their own thing to do and wont be with eachother all of the time. I just feel bad because I pictured spending long days out by the pool with lemonade and friends, popsicles, trips to the beach and the pool and time working on things inside on rainy days or HOT days...like making little art projects and working on little work books... We hardly did any of that. We really did do alot of things too- but it just feels like we wasted most of the summer away- like we could have done more. Then there are the excuses...it isnt fun to be outside when its 90 and humid. Ryan is almost too small to be out all day by the pool. If we go out now, they will miss nap time. Blah blah blah. I will be more organized with a list of fun things for next summer. I can check them off as we go then. I do better with a list. If I see it and it's not checked off- it will drive me batty! And, they will all be a little older which will make things (fun trips) way more easy! Yay-here's to next summer!!!
I am excited for this time of year though. I am ready for the awesome, cooler fall days where it is not humid. I am excited for the apple orchard and making apple pies and apple sundaes-- and the hay rides too! I am excited to see the leaves change and I am excited to see Andy and Justin having their own excitement for school and watching them learn. I am excited to give Ryan one on one time the mornings that Justin is at pre school. And weirdly enough...I am excited for football (even more now that big boy Andy likes it as much as his daddy!) Just as long as it doesnt snow and get cold too soon- I will be ok. I hate the REALLY cold weather as much as I hate hot humid weather!! I love the snow, and dont mind cold weather too much (only if I have my snow pants on when we are making a snow man...) but that bitter cold that freezes your eyelashes and inside of your nose...not so fun! Ok...where am I going with this?? I am easily distracted :) Do you know what else the fall and cooler weather means? Now we get to do all of those projects around the house that we kept saying, "We'll do that this fall." Yeah... so let the projects begin :)
Good luck at school tonight! I'll be thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteHow was class Krissy?
ReplyDeleteIt was good. Weird...but good. The instructor used to teach at Eastview so I want to ask Erik if he knows her! Seems pretty easy. It would be even easier if I can find 20 extra hours to volunteer through it so I can take the final at home. If I dont volunteer and I end up reading the book she assigned (you have to do one or the other) I will have to go one week longer and take the test in class. Only 2 of the 4 places might work and I cant say I would be comfortable at either of them- so I dont know what to do?? Oh well. Thanks for asking Katie :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you didn't get the weird guy I had!
ReplyDeleteWhat kinds of places do you need to volunteer at? Sounds kind of interesting!
What classes are you taking? What type of places can you volunteer at? I think that's great you are going back to school! Did you get to do some back to school shopping for yourself too? Good luck with everything:)
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel about wasting the summer away. Although I guess that is what it's for in a way, and sometimes it's nice not to be overscheduled.
Are the boys excited to start school? Wow, it'll be so weird on the days when you just have one! What will you do with yourself? I decided not to send Amelia to preschool this year, but I will send her next fall, I am going to try in get her in at Weaver Lake.
I am taking a calss called drug use and abuse. I am a bit annoyed at the whole situation though. It was hard enough for me to get the time away to get to this class in the first place but then to find out she wants us to make up 20 extra hours to volunteer somewhere. I would LOVE to volunteer somewhere- just not exactly the 4 places she picked. I would like to be at a hospital or something like that...not OVERNIGHTS at a mens shelter in Minneapoils with one other volunteer. There might be one that works out...but it will be tough. I dont see how it is volunteering if you have to do it- then people wont be putting much into what they are doing. And she is giving a easier final and one week less of class for people who volunteer instaed of the alternative of reading a book that she picked out. It really bothers me- but I am going to try to not let it bother me too much :) Either way- I will get my A, so I dont care :D haha.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you were going to do preschool for Amelia this year. I am with Justin, but only because he REALLY wanted to. I tried to get him in for only one day a week- but that class fell through since we were the only ones registered for it. So thats ok. I think he will enjoy 2 days a week too. We arent doing ECFE with Justin this time either...we registered him in at the school he will be going to for kindergarten, and it is the same school Andy is going to, so Justin is more excited for it this way. They are so excited though- their back packs have been ready to go for almost a week :) Goofy kids! How about cameron?
