It's August

Ok, so it appears that I seem to blog about once a month. Why is that? Probably because I would much rather use the phone. I speak to most of you on a weekly basis so what is left to blog?

It has begun, I am officially a college student again. I am taking English 1010 (I think that is right) and beginning math. Today, while I was doing some of the math Corbin was cracking up at how easy it was. I will agree that it was basic, and I mean basic, math. It is actually prealgebra, but it is amazing how little I remember. He makes fun because he did this class 4 years ago, and I laugh and say that I did it 25 years ago.

They are both internet classes and I don't think I will do math on the internet again, it just seems a little tedious. You figure out the problems on scratch paper and then point and click the answer. It seems like extra work. The good thing is that I can go at my own speed as long as I am done by the end of the semester.

English is going to be a lot of writing. It might be fun, we will have to see. The instructor seems nice and the group of students is very diverse. Alot of stay at home moms, all ages, and a few professionals trying to finish up their degrees, and even a few young ones. New students trying out the online school thing. I hate to write but we will see how it goes.

The kids went back to school last week and seem to be doing ok. The biggest adjustment seems to be for Kortney. Last year her teacher didn't believe in homework, this year her teacher seems to love it. She has about an hour each night. YUCK!!!! It has been interesting having the kids gone all day. I didn't get a whole lot accomplished last week, at least at home. I applied for a job and had a few interviews, got the school thing going, and did my visiting teaching. This week will hopefully be better. The house really needs some attention.

We are looking forward to the reunion. When we leave is still unsure. Hopefully Friday. Hey April, will your RV have a hookup for 4 wheelers?

Corbin won his first official game. He is starting on the JV team and did great his first game. He plays tackle or guard on the offensive line. I love watching his games and for now it is still free, which is a plus.

That's it for now.
