As we all start another year of school here at my little mortgage it has been interesting. This year there are four students (1 Master program, 1 BSN program, 2 technology high school) trying to use the internet for homework assignments at the same time. It has been an interesting situation so far. Last week there was a night or two that we could not even get our phones to download anything because of all the electronic traffic going over our heads. This week is getting better but there are still challenges.
As 2 of us hope to graduate next Spring it will help with the last 2 years for the girls. I have been blessed with children who have stayed interested in school and were accepted to the technology high school. I feel that when they do get to college having the college prep courses in highschool will be a big plus for them. Our family may not have all the toys and gadgets that other families enjoy, but we do have a love of learning and reading that cannot be replaced with any amount of material things.
There are a lot of changes going on for our family. I am trusting that everything is going to work out the way God plans and that we will not loose faith while we transition. This last year of nursing school is going to have several moments of stress, fun, and difficult situations, however at the end I know I will have made some wonderful friends, learned things I could never of dreamed about, and learn to be stronger than I have been before.

Lazy Days
WOW! I just found this post that never got published. It is amazing how much things change and than again how much they sound the same. As I start my Senior year of college, the girls are in highschool now and this post is just as revelant as it was when I first wrote it. Here is a flash from my past, and a look into my present!
***It seems as if the lazy days of summer have gotten to my teenage girls. This is the first year that we have had this type of summer. They seem to be sleeping until noon or later, and I have no idea what time they are actually going to bed at night. I like having the peace and quiet in the morning for now but can't help but think I will be the one paying for this new habit when it comes time to start school again this fall. I know that is a few months away, but the morning arguments and missed busses from the last school year are still burned into my memory ( and the having to take them to school on my way to class). I want to be one of those care free moms that let them have some fun without going to far overboard. I just can't kick the feeling that this too will bite my own bottom in the end.
Maybe I am getting ahead of myself because I am looking forward to my next semester of school myself. I start my junior year of college which is like a dream that I thought would never happen. In two years I will be able to join the world of college graduates. ***
