School is coming fast

I can't believe it is time for school to start again.  This summer I was hoping to do a lot of stuff with the kids but we ended up at doctor's appts and tests at the hospital, I am very proud of my kids though for keeping a good attitude most of the time, minus all the fighting.  I am ready for school to start hopefully it will cut down on the fighting we will see.  Ashlyn starts school on Thursday and the other 2 start next Monday.  They have the 7th graders go to school for one day before the rest of the students so they can find all of their classes without the 8th, and 9th graders. 

We had a good friend come over tonight to help Jaren give the kids a blessing and I had no idea that Jaren was clueless about how to do it and what to say.  I know he has a hard time remembering the words that he has to say so I always have someone here to help, but this time he couldn't do any of it and our good friend did a great job helping him.  I hope he was able to feel the spirit I know I did.  When all the kids were done he asked if I would like one and it caught me by surprise but it was very touching and I know I will be able to handle the trials that are ahead with the beginning of school.

I got a call the other day from the school that I work for and I get to start September 11, 2013, and my hours have changed from last year.  I will be working from 7:45-11:15am Monday-Thursday and 10-1 on Fridays.  It will be difficult to get everyone out of the house by 7:30am but I am way excited to be home so early so I can get some things done before the kids come home from school.  I am looking forward to the new school year.  I am really sad though that I won't be working under Jayne this year she is an amazing person and I will miss her terribly,  thank goodness she will be in the same building still I can still go talk to her.
