Today is the first day of the last semester for my master's degree (MBA). (I'm not a superstitious person, but I do hate to make statements like that. For those of you that care, I just knocked on wood a tiny bit.) I have mixed feelings today. I'm really really really looking forward to being done with school. Even more exciting is the fact that Kris and I will be finishing at the same time. It will be such a wonderful thing for our family to finally be done with school, dental school especially. It's been a long road for us and not too easy. So I'm glad to be starting with the last semester, finally. But I don't want to go!! I'm so tired of school. I've really enjoyed it, but I'm tired of it for sure. And not even really just tired of school, but just tired of having so much to do all the time. I always have way more stuff to do than I have time for. And I know that's just life, but it will be nice to have the school/work load lightened a bit so that I can actually get to some of the incredibly important family and household things that are always calling my name.
So wish us luck in our last semester. Hopefully my classes won't kill me. I have my capstone class which is supposed to be some huge group project (yick) and then another class I know nothing about. Kris is going to have to do about 7 crowns and various other stuff in order to be done in time for graduation. I know we can get to the end, we've made it this far, but I'm just a little worn out.
So there are my thoughts for the day. They're january kind of thoughts, a little grey, a little depressing. Good thing spring is coming, it's still a little ways away, but it's coming!

Although I can't wait until we are both done with school, part of me will miss your school nights because Max and I get to hang together. Tonight we played baseball and I let him take a shower/bath while I sat on the toilet seat and listened to him screw around. Then he cried for about 30 minutes when I made him turn the water off. I put him in his PJs and we read the great bedtime story "Everybody Poops." Max counted the poops and made sound effects. Afterward, I put him to bed. He was pretty good and we had fun.
We missed you though.
It's just January, honey. It's dark still, and relentlessly, wearingly cold. Starting school again is like being asked to walk uphill for another five miles after you've just climbed a huge hill, and had a wonderful, sentimental, joyous release at the top. But really, you're on the down slope, and I am excited for you.
Endure and be glad, little girl. Your life is going to start soon - the preparatory part over. How exciting is that?

good luck!! you're my hero for sure!
I can definitely see how you would feel that way. You should be very proud of yourself for all your hard work. Both of you. I certainly am and I will be so happy for you to be at the end It will be nice to be able to look back at the good times and see the hard ones will fade away a bit. Although you both have learned a lot about yourselves during these hard times. It has become a part of who you are now and that is a good thing right? Hang in there. You can at least see the end of the tunnel now.
Spring can't get here soon enough for us. Ken is sicker today and in bed. We need warm weather so help us all feel better. Had a fun visit with your mom today. She is great. Love you
Kris, that is definitely a male bonding experience. Fun I guess. You are a good Dad.
At least the days are getting longer!!
Man! Tell me about it! I feel like I'm almost done with college and i've just started! The sad part is I am kinda almost done. I've been working so hard getting GE's done and making my life animation that I've not really been able to do much of the 'college' thing. Life goes on. Love you!
I know it is really hard being in school especially with Kris in school too. We had 2 kids and 1 on the way when Mike graduated and we never wanted him to go back again. I wasn't even in school (I didn't ever go). I know 2 women, one I just found out about this week, she is a little older than me and her husband has run his business into the ground. Now she is trying to help him pull out of the trouble and looking for a job. But she didn't go to school so she isn't having much luck. The other friend is 36, her husband is completely unable (or unwilling) to work and she has no education and needs to provide for her family. It has really hit close to home why the brotheren say get an education. So just remember you are doing a great thing by finishing, it will benifit your family and give you peace of mind.
