So my baby is in kindergarten :)   Besides being a huge schedule adjustment, I am just amazed by all the activity and ’stuff’ that comes along with it.  He’s only been going for two weeks, and I’ve already filled out enough paperwork to fill a book, he has as much homework as I do, he’s had picture day, and every day I’m attacked by a new barrage of paperwork with headlines like, “Join the PTA!”, “Be An Active Part of Your Child’s Education”, “Market Day!”, etc so on and so forth.  It seems like the school is determined to make me one of their robotic uber parents or die trying.  While I would love to participate in every aspect of my son’s education, I do have other things (and another child!) that I need to take care of.

Speaking of which, when did it become ‘evil’ and ‘abuse’ to work outside of the home?  I was reading a blog the other day and someone commented that mothers could stay home ‘if they were willing to sacrifice’.  Pardon my language, but what a pile of bull shit.  If I were to ’sacrifice’ my job, my children wouldn’t eat.  Hmmnn feed the kids, or stay home with them?  I vote feed them!  (ok, so maybe I’m exagerating that a bit)  As anyone who has read my blog knows, DH is not the luckiest with job stability.  While he is working now, and making good money, he is contracting.  Again, issue of stability.  If I quit my job, and DH’s contract is cancelled we would be screwed.  I just love when people make blatant generalizations without any idea of other’s situations.  ok, rant off :)

Speaking of jobs, loving mine.  I love the hours and the fact that I can study after hours.  School is going ehhh I guess.  I love my music class, but I’m afraid of the technical aspect of it.  French I am absolutely terrified of .  I feel like I’m on another planet.  Sociology has been fun so far, and biology should be a breeze (I mean I aced a 4000 level Biopsych class, a 1000 level LER should be no problem)  I guess that catches me up.  I hope my few and loyal readers have found their way over here, and I hope you’re all doing well!
