Back to School

I know the last time I blogged I said that I was going to be so lazy this summer well my plans have changed. I have decided to get my masters. I start June 11 and it will take me 13 months. 13 months of hell but it will be worth it in the end. Also our accident prone child Averie broke her other collar bone on Sunday. How many 3 year old's have broken both collar bones and split their forehead open twice. I swear she needs to live in a bubble! Anyway we are still on the count down to summer even though it will include homework and attending class.

Countdown to Summer Vacation!!!!!

I can't wait for Summer vacation. I can't wait to not worry about 40 5 year old's and if they are reading at the right level and if they are able to produce a sentence using spaces and punctuation, getting lessons together for the next day and centers each week, working like crazy and stressing to get them all on grade level then coming home and cleaning, cooking, laundry, shopping, homework with Malie and Averie, and being a mother and a wife. My family won't know what to do with home cooked meal. They are a little sick of cereal for dinner and nuggets or corn dogs. At the end of every year I feel like I have ran a marathon and I can see the finish line I just have to find the energy to finish it out. I am already planning what we are going to do, swim lessons for the girls, getting Maddux in a big bed and getting rid of the binky, what books I will read, camping at the cabin, sister trip to California, and watching my kids play and fight all day and not scrambling like crazy every morning to get to work by 8:00. I am so blessed to have 2 months off to be an at home mom. It helps me to appreciate those few days I have with them before the marathon begins again.
