Change

We are on week 2 of Mike going to college. How overwhelming and a little scary. Lots of things have changed and will keep changing around here. He is taking all night classes so that he can (hopefully) find a job during the day. Instead of hanging out and playing games we are reviewing English books and trying to pick which "time period" books to do for book reports. (Mike hates English) I really like it, but have never taken college English. I am probably doing more harm than helping. His first paper is due tonight. I think he did pretty good.

He is also taking US history, Math, and a Public Speaking class. All pre-recs for Computer Science. Who knew? He is able to take most of them at the Jr High in Lehi. What a relief that is. He is still close.

I am getting bigger and slower and am starting to worry about how much he and I will have to do in the next few months. There will be some things that fall by the way-side. Hopefully nothing important. Keep your fingers crossed that he can find a job during the day. It would be so nice if he could do something familiar so he is not so stressed, but what can you do? Some financial relief would take a lot of stress out of this situation though.

The kids and I are trying to find things to do in the evening while Dad is gone. Unfortunately it is stinkin' cold and movie night won out. They all have their pillow pets and were pretty comfortable. I don't think Elsie stayed there for more than 5 minutes, but it was sure cute for those few minutes.

Mike is currently out running errands associated with not having a job. Who knew it would be so much work being unemployed. My car battery died and I am stuck at home until he returns. Maybe I should clean. Maybe not.  It's going to be a crazy adjustment.

Hopefully baby #4 isn't a hard one for me. I seems like 3 was easier than 2 so maybe I'm in for some rough times. Only 8 more weeks though and I get to finally meet the little kick boxer. Lets hope that I go into labor at a time when Mike is not gone. :/
