So school has started once again. So far, on the start of the third day, Aeryn is loving the fifth grade. So far her teacher seems great. He is young and energetic and just what a boisterous class of fifth graders needs. Though our school district is blessed with two amazing fifth grade teachers so I would have been happy had she been placed in either of the classes. Both teachers seem like they would have been a "good fit" for my precocious little girl.
The start of the school year is always fresh and new. I enjoyed it as a child and I still enjoy it as an adult. The staff all started back at school a day before the kids, and it was nice getting a chance to "catch up" with the people I had not seen in a couple of months. With the exception of Jay, I had not had time to make plans with any of my coworkers this summer. And Jay was kind of a given because of the cows.
Alex stays with my sister Nancy during the day. I am fortunate enough to have a wonderful family willing to help out when I am not quite where I need to be. She and Robert do a great job of keeping the little man entertained. He also gets to spend time with Mamaw (Thanks AmberMae for teaching him this gem), and Auntie Ev in the evenings when I have to work at my second job.
Yes once again I am working a second job. However the benefits to this one are way better than my last one. I work at a local farm supply company. Good for me because not only do they pay me to work there, but I get a discount off the price of grain as well. I like this perk. When you can save a couple dollars a bag it makes a huge difference.
I am looking forward to a productive year for myself and my children. I love watching Alex grow and watching Aeryn blossom into herself. I will work harder now to keep everyone updated.
