School ended for the girls. They had a successful year. I now have a Sophomore a 6th grader and a kindergartner (whaaa). Hope had pre school graduation it was cute. I need to post her graduation pictures. She was excited.
The weather has been the pits. Its so cold and rainy the kids haven't been out much to play. It doesn't even feel like summer vacation yet.I hope it warms up so we can set up our pool.
Autumn will be taking her P.E. class on line this summer. She didn't want to take it at school so I signed her up at IDLA to take the class. She took 2 classes there last summer and liked it. I'm not sure she won't try to graduate early.
I start school July 12th. Yep I am going to college. Holy cow can you believe it? I can't. I am scared to death. I am a registered college student. 21 years after I graduated I am going back to school and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Gulp. I am attending the University of Phoenix on line. I am all signed up and ready to go. I am going to go for my associates degree in health care administration But I may change it to an associates in business. I have about a year to decide. I take 2 classes at a time each block is 9 weeks. So about the time Autumn is graduating from high school I will hopefully have an associates degree.
I am so scared. Am I smart enough? Am I driven enough? Can I do it with a family, work, house cleaning, all of my family obligations and making sure my kids get the attention they need? I am really worried about Richard's back and I know he can't keep framing and doing construction so I need to find something that pays more in case he needs to find a job that pays less in the future. It was really hard to make the decision and i really didn't want to go into debt but I also know the Church encourages us to continue our education and it's one of the things it's okay to go into debt for. I did qualify for a pell grant so some of it I won't have to pay back. I will try to keep the student loans to a minimum. Hopefully I will be able to find a good job in a few years as well. I know deep in my hear this is what I need to do. I have been praying a lot about it and the Spirit tells me I am on the correct path... so back to school I go.

How do you do PE online? I thought there was running and jumping and stuff involved...lol.
Hey, I am so proud of you for going to school. I started for the first time when I was in my late 30's. I was scared to death! I lost weight during the summer cuz I thought I would be the dumbest person there. The reality is that LIFE has given you experiences that make school so much...well, not easier, but maybe slightly simpler. You can rely on what you already know. I found that other students wanted to be in my group because I had a perspective they lacked. I was not a good student in K-12, but did very, very well in college. You can do it. If you need any help, let me know.
Kathy,
Thank You that means a lot to me. I may take you up on the offer when I start my Math classes. That scares me the most I think.
PE on line, they have classes thru IDLA and they are still required to do a certain amount of physical fitness each week. She will have to do it then whatever else the class requires. I don't think it will be a problem she's pretty active and in July will go on the trek so a 25 mile hike should count as active lol.
