Kindergarten Blues...

Over the last few months I have debated back and forth about sending Aiden to school or not. The school systems just seem to continue to go down the drain, and I don't want him to get lost in the system as he accels so quickly right now. Anyways I decided finally to start him in school and give him the opportunity to thrive there. Aiden is beyond excited about the idea of schools and wants to go like yesterday. I am still not overly thrilled about the idea. I know it will be good for him, but I am a worrier so every possible bad situation that could maybe happen has already made its way into my thoughts. I am kind of sad with the idea of throwing him into such a flawed system. My positives at this point are that if things are really that bad in the school system I can always just pull him out and figure out if charter schools or home schooling is better. My second positive is that my younger boys and I will have a few more hours to spend time which will be fun to give the younger ones a little more one on one.

Jump in Feet First Right?

So everyone else has ventured into the blog world. As a stay at home mom I have decided I ought to join the club. It may give me a way to break up the monotony at times as well as a way to better document our lives. I am excited to start blogging, but I am sure it will take me a lot of time to figure this all out. I think a lot of the time for myself I forget to find activities or time to do any activities for myself. I gave up dance which was one of the things I loved most before I had kids. It is hard to adjust to not having that even after having 5 years to do so. I sometimes just want to find a good outlet for my energy and creativity. That being said I would not change what I do for the world. My boys are my life and I love this time in my life. I know that my boys will grow up faster then I think they should so I do not want to miss one minute of the time I can have with them.
