10th, 8th, 6th, 4th, and 1st grade.... and Charli still home with me. I am so grateful for school and the chance my kids have to learn. The proudest moment I had this week was when Ben chose to advocate for himself to be in a higher math class. I was really proud of him, because my efforts to move him had failed.
Rachel had a few pre-school jitters, and Ben woke up at 3 in the morning, but all-in-all school was great.
I got formally excepted to graduate school this week. I have been praying all weekend if this would be an okay choice for my family. I really love a lot of things, but they aren't so conducive to my parenting schedule. I need to be there for my kids and I want to get more education, but I need those things to work out. I would have loved medicine, dental school, nursing, but I don't see the timing as working well with a family. I am hoping to teach community college, or maybe virtual high school for a bit, we will see. I just wished I had furthered my education when I was a little less restricted by children those first few years of marriage, and I was sooooo lonely. So far I feel good about what I have chosen, and I hope to find a niche.
This weekend we got to take the boat out with Lily's friends. I love Canyon lake, it is one of my favorites.
Great first week of school! Here is to a great year! Our back- to- school (Japanese Olmpyic inspired dinner and theme: No Weak Links
