Taking one step back but five forward

It's happened.. John is officially a student again! Everything went well with his admissions process with Grad school and will begin classes on Tuesday. After his 4 year stint at Wofford, he swore he would never study or write another paper again in his life, and reality has set in.... it's getting ready to all start over. Books, laptop, PDA, more books... wow, it's strange! And everything has happened so fast that personally I have not taken it all in yet. I am so proud of his motivation and courage to take this step, especially at 33 years of age. Jalen let him know that homework had to get done before he could play everyday! I guess what we have been pounding in his little head is working! We will see how it works with Daddy!

It's been a quiet week, but it couldn't end without some sort of sickness in our family. Jalen was sent home from school yesterday with a very low grade fever (which has mysteriously gone away since he came home) and the nurse informed us that he was NOT allowed back at school today (ya know, the 24 hours rule). hmmmm... We have a Spring Carnival at school tonight.... and of course he has let me know that he is ALL better. So all rest and no play today despite the symptoms that don't exist. interesting how that works, isn't it!? It's not over there... I took Karlee to daycare this morning and as I was dropping her off I noticed her eye looked funny... yup the good ole pink eye. It's been going around the daycare for weeks so I wasn't shocked. Thank goodness we have the meds at home so it saved a trip to the doctor.
Hopefully the rest of our weekend will go smoothly...
