My Baby Goes to School

Monday was Noel's first day of school.  Unlike the boys, she gets to enjoys preschool (mostly becuase I have to work now).  John took her to not only her first day of school, but her first day of daycare, too.  She was so excited!  I got the joys of her telling me about the other kids in her class and the snacks that she ate and the things that she did.  John was wonderful enough to take pictures before taking her.

Another exiting thing...Noel's hair is finally long enough for a ponytail again!

First Day Of School

I can't believe how fast time has flown by! Is it even possible that I have a third grader and a first grader?

Is it possible that my little girl will be starting preschool next week?

(I don't think my kids know how to have pictures taken without making goofy faces)

Writing

I would not consider myself a writer by any means, but I have decided to go out on a limb and try my hand at writing for the public.  I joined HubPages about 2 weeks ago with the idea that I would be making money for my writing.  I turns out I only get money if people click on the ads on the pages.  That's OK. I can deal with that.  I am starting to see it as a way to publish the research papers that I write for school and get some opinions of people who are looking at the work I completed because they are interested in the topic rather than from a grading point of view.  So far I have posted 5 "Hubs," but only one of them has been a school paper.  One was about some weight loss websites I have frequented.  One was kind of a rant about phone etiquette.  The other two probably should have been put on this blog instead of being posted as articles on the other site.  I'm learning about this process, and I will continue to post on both sites.  I hope to be able to make at least a little money.  I am enjoying the few unbiased opinions given though.

I Miss My Kids

This summer has been going by way too fast.  With only a week left before school starts, I have realized that I haven't done as much with my kids as I wanted to.  I wanted to take them to the zoo a lot, but we have only gone twice this summer (I am hoping to take them tomorrow though).  I wanted to take them to the museum this summer, but we haven't gone yet at all (maybe next Tuesday).  I wanted to take them swimming, but we only did that once.  With my crazy work schedule, I will be lucky to find the time to do this kind of stuff after school starts next Wednesday.  I am really worried that my kids will think that I don't care about them once school starts.  I already  miss them because I have to be gone so much.
