last first day


Tuesday was my first day back to school after 6 years away. I'm taking drawing II and college algebra. It feels so much different then it did before I had kids. I don't feel old but I'm definitly older then every one else in my classes, except the teachers. Well, actually, I think that the grad student teaching my algebra class is probably about my age, maybe a year older. I've got my work cut out for me. My drawing is rusty (at best) and there is a large time requirment for my math class. Yesterday after some bad drawing and a horrible math assesment test I was sure that college wasn't for me and that I was going to spend the rest of my life waiting tables or something equally unfulfilling. I am so thankful that Heath is a consistent voice of reason for me as I am prone to over reacting when things seem bad. I'm sure he'll have to give me the "you can do this" talk again in the future, but for now at least I believe it :).

First day of school

Yesterday was Anabelle's first day of school. She did great! We really like her teacher. I think Anabelle is going to love Kindergarten.

Anabelle had to write her name as her first piece of homework. Thats Heaths shadow over the homework. Ava's first day of school was today. She was also very excited. We'll be hearing how her first day went around 3:30. Thanks to every one who said a prayer for Anabelle (and me) on her first day. I think I may sleep all night tonight- since all the "first days" are over.
