In Sickness and In Health
By Administrator | August 26, 2008
Here’s hoping that my poor sick hubby feels better soon. He tends to get awful sinus infections at least a couple times a year, but this has to be one of his worst ones in awhile.
If I weren’t so worried about my better half, everything would be good. My oldest and middle daughters and I took a weekend trip to Las Vegas that was a lot of fun and I’m feeling relaxed and reenergized now that I’ve caught up on my sleep a little. Doing an 850-mile road trip in two days is pretty exhausting, but I’m really glad we went.
My youngest daughter, her fiancee and I met yesterday with the woman minister who will be serving as the officiant for their January wedding. The woman was very nice and my daughter seems pleased with her so I feel good that we have taken care of another detail of the planning process. Even a supposedly “simple” wedding is an awful lot of work.
Yesterday was also the first day of my first semester of college for more than five years. I’m taking a couple online classes through our local university that will take me a little closer to my ever-elusive quest for a Bachelor’s degree. My hope is that I can finally finish within the next few years so I can switch careers; I’d really like to be an elementary school teacher (probably second or third grade) and I think now is a good time to fulfill that long-term wish of mine. I do enjoy my current job quite a bit, but I’ve really wanted to teach school since I was back in the second or third grade and I’m very sorry I let myself get talked out of the idea when I was younger. Of course, I’ll probably be a better teacher now than I would have in those days so I think things worked out for the best.
And now I should stop procrastinating and get back to reading my textbooks. My first assignments are due on Friday and Saturday and I’ve promised myself that I will buckle down and work hard this semester.
