Life lesson: finish college before you have kids!

Here's a picture of Sam in her AF marching band uniform. People say she looks just like me, but I don't see it.

The title of this post says it all: I was stupid enough to not finish my bachelors degree so I am finishing it now when I have four kids, a workaholic (in a good way) husband, and a part time job. Granted I get to work mainly from home and I have a wonderful husband and fantastic kids and I'm only taking 2 classes, but still. I wish I could go back to my stupid 21 year old self and say, "Just finish now!" Oh well.

I do think it's good for my kids to see me studying. I haven't had to push them as much to get homework done after school instead of before bed.

The kids are liking school. Ryan seems to be adapting to 7th grade really well. Sam is loving being a big 9th grader. Ethan is making friends in a class full of "new to him" kids. Connor hasn't started school yet, but he and I are both excited for this Wednesday when he heads to his last year of preschool. Eric is adjusting to being the new head counselor at Hillcrest. He's doing the chains again for Hillcrest home games and having a good time. He is also going to be the boys basketball score keeper this year. That man is way too busy. He's still doing the jail on Thursday and Friday nights.

Here's hoping for a great 2010-2011 school year!
