Things have been incredibly busy around here for the last few months, and life definitely isn't going to slow down any time soon. Brady's job continues to be miserable, although he has finally made it to Sacramento. He's still working 14-16 hour days, as well as most weekends. He's completely exhausted by the time he gets home, sleeps for a few hours, and then gets up at 4:00 in the morning to head back in. It's such a bummer. We really thought this was going to be such a great opportunity for him to do something that he would really enjoy, but so far, that hasn't been the case.
With him being so unhappy, we have come to the conclusion that it's time for me to go back to school for my BSN in Nursing. While I really enjoy teaching, my first and strongest passion has always been in the medical field. I miss the thrill of responding to a 911 call. While I won't go back to the ambulance, the thrill of helping sick or injured people will always be there for me as an RN. I have 11 prerequisite courses to take before I can get into the nursing program, 5 of which I will be taking in January. This means that Kourtney will be going to preschool three days a week from 8:30 - 12:30. It will be great for her, but I'll miss her during the day! I've really enjoyed being at home with her, but am excited about going back to school. It will be nice to have some grown-up conversation during the week! LOL
Other than that, life is continuing on as normal. Both boys are loving school, and are excelling in gymnastics. Two weeks ago, Kieran's coach asked him to move up to an advanced group so that he can start training to work with a competitive team. He loves it! It freaks me out, though, to see him holding himself upside down on the rings, or swinging his body around on the parallel bars! Cristian loves gymnastics as well, but goes more for the social time than the sport. He's really looking forward to starting football in the fall.
I continue to be very busy with the virtual academy. While it's been great to be able to work from home, I have found it difficult to separate my work life from my home life. I'm very conscious of it, though, and am constantly reminding myself not to work when the kids are home. That's especially challenging now that Brady is home at night because that was when I used to get most of my work done. Now, I'm trying to manage getting up with him in the morning so that I can stay caught up...That's definitley not easy for me, but I'm working up to it...slowly...
Time seems to just be flying by! I can't believe that Christmas is already nearly here, and that we'll soon be in 2010! That's just crazy! We're just trying to love every minute, even the hard ones...
Hope all is well with you and yours! I'll try to post some pictures soon...really...
