School is nearing....

Well, another school year is about to begin and I'm not sure what to make of it. My son, my baby boy, is going to kindergarten this year. This is all day kindergarten, so he's not too thrilled about it. I think when he hears us talking about "all day kindergarten" in his mind he's thinking he has to be there literally ALL DAY. He even asked me if he comes home when it gets dark outside. Poor guy. It will be an adjustment, though, with him gone all day. It makes me tear up right now just thinking about it. He's my oldest and I've always been a stay-at-home mom (except for that month that I worked at Convergys). He's my pal, my little man. What are Reesey and I going to do all day without him here? I'm sure we'll manage, but it will be weird for awhile.

I'm on the downhill slope of my schooling endeavor. I've only got this upcoming semester and next semester (hopefully) until I get my Bachelor's degree. I'm now starting to panic because I'm afraid I won't be able to find a job after I graduate. Student loans will need to be repaid. We're wanting to buy a house and an extra income would help out with that tremendously. I'm just not sure what type of job I'll be able to get, if any. It's especially frightening with the economy the way it is right now. I'm going to work my tail off these next two semesters, though, so that once I do graduate I've got a great transcript and even better recommendations from professors if need be.

My girls won't be in any of my classes this semester. That makes me even sadder. :-( I don't know what I'm going to do with myself. Having them in class with me makes me work even harder. They, Joy and Carissa, are both so smart that my competitive drive kicks in. I just want to be on their level, so I do the very best that I can in hopes that I won't look like an idiot next to them. They keep me going. When I'm having a rough day at school, or at home that has been brought with me, they're there to make me forget about it and laugh my booty off. It will be awfully lonely in class without my two partners in crime. Whatever will I do with myself?
