Maybe not so crazy

Well, I decided to not take any classes this term either. It's hard to be patient, but I really can't see how we will maintain any sense of family peace if both of us are working and going to school. I work more than just full time, since I also schedule violin lessons for after work. I tend to put in about 50 hours a week, and then if I add even part time school to that...well, you get the drift. How would I manage to ever see my kids? Well, I might manage it, but I think I would tend to consider them and annoyance rather than a blessing. If I need extra curricular activity, I think I will take ice skating lessons.

We had a hiccup in Tanner's school schedule as well. He was registered for classes on Monday and Wednesday when Blinn decided to cancel all of his classes. It was a scramble and a fight down to the last with quite a lot of prayer and learning to LEAVE it in God's hands, but we were able to get him back in to all of his classes except for physics. It is frustrating because now, he has to take the class on Tuesday and Thursday which means we have to find a babysitter for the girls, but we have learned to LEAVE it all in God's hands. On the plus side, all of that struggling opened up a possible scholarship for him, so we are in the process of applying and of course, praying and waiting.

On a kidlet note:

Georgie has learned how to jump. She is very proud and shouts, "Look at me! Look at me!" She still can't figure out that I am Mommy. She calls me Lovee and Daddi and Mommy-Daddy because when she means daddy, she says, "Tanner" or "Honey".

Reagan wants to go to school. I'm thinking that ice skating lessons in the afternoon might be in order or maybe piano.

Kate can't wait to start school except that she is concerned about her 1st grade teacher. "What if I don't like her?"

On a house note:

We finished the girls room. Well...almost finished. Still no baseboards or trim, but it is patched and painted and they have a lovely pink ceiling fan.

1/3 of our house has siding on it. I hope that it will get to 1/2 by the time school starts. Hope is a broad term though, so I think I will try to be happy with just my 1/3.
