Bullet Update

• Oh my stars! What was I thinking??? I applied to go back to school next semester. Why? I'm not exactly sure. I would like to have a degree....but I don't know what in. I would like to better my mind, but I'm not sure my mind is up to par. Austin and I went to enroll today and tomorrow he's going to orientation and I'm going to talk to an academic adviser. My biggest fear is that they'll tell me I have to take a placement test and that my 69 credit hours I took 22 years ago will count for naught! Cross your fingers for me.
• Kambree is ready to submit her mission papers but wait! Who has re-entered her life? A young man by the name of Travis that she was head over heels for last year. Gulp. Timing is everything isn't it? We'll see where this all goes. She might be taking classes with Austin and I next semester too depending on everything. I mean, who knows when she'll leave and now, who knows if she'll even submit? Fun stuff - adult children. But sort of cool - at least for me -  going to school with my kids? Three of them technically since Devree is taking congruent classes from SLCC in high school.
• Did I mention Austin got a job? Yes! It's true. He's working with mentally challenged/disabled adult women. He does in home care. He helps them with their dinner, house cleaning, medicines, shopping, takes them to dinner etc. It's awesome to hear his stories and see how sweet he is with them. We met two of his clients this weekend. They were adorable. Well? One was adorable the other just talked and talked and never stopped taking. It's looking like we may have one or two clients join us for Thanksgiving this year. I love it!
• Alex made it through a whole week without complaining or talking about video games! Woot! We bought him a model airplane to celebrate. He and Rylee are going to play Jr Jazz next month and I'm signing him up for a wrestling clinic next year - if he likes it or not! If he goes TWO more weeks without complaining/sneaking/obsessing about video games we're going to get him another model. Rylee wanted to work for an incentive too, hers is to NOT CRY when doing math for two weeks!
• Grades: Devree was crushed when she got two -A's this term. She's had a 4.0 since 8th grade. I felt so bad for her. She really is a fabulous student. She's just spread so thin. Rylee got her 1st 4.0. Alex got three A's, one B-, two C+ and one C. He did it ! Nothing lower than a C! However he did get two N's in citizenship. (Needs improvement - next step down is a U! We've had U's in the past - thanks to Austin - based on attendance - but this was based on behavior. Next terms goal? NO N's! And nothing lower than a C!)
•  And lately, I've been posting on Facebook and thought I'd document some of my favorite posts: 
• Last night Rylee jokingly asked for a walk in closet for Christmas. Alex rolled his eyes and sarcastically asked "Like we can put motor on your closet so it can walk around???" Ha! A walking closet? Needless to say we had a vocabulary lesson on what a walk IN closet is. 
•  Last night at dinner, Devree shared that a friend of hers landed a job as a princess at Disney World. (Pretty cool huh?) I shared how that was one of the many things I thought of doing after high school too. I wanted to play Snow White to which my youngest child replied, "Mom, you would be good at playing......a WITCH now."
  Kambree's had a friend to dinner and he attempted to not spew his drink out his nose as he waited for my response to that great compliment. He just doesn't know me very well yet. I would be GREAT at playing a witch! (Preferably Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty or Mother Gothel from Tangled - before she ages!)
  Funny how most of Disney's Villains/Witches are my age. Maybe I still have a chance of landing a DL gig?
• Well? There's my update in bullets!
