We're back!

We just spent the last week in Lake Arrowhead with my dad and Joanie. I need to get pics off of their camera, so I'll share those later. But I was blog-hopping and saw someone linked to my blog and it said I hadn't updated in TWO WEEKS! Not okay.

I'm starting classes this fall at Cal State San Marcos. I have to take six classes before my Special Ed. credential will be "cleared," which just basically means I won't have to renew it anymore for the rest of my life. So I'm a little overwhelmed. Tonight I showed up at the Orientation for my online class without the information I needed to log onto the online portion of the class. I guess I just thought she was going to talk about the class, not that we'd all immediately log into these individual computers and start typing away. Argh. I needed my student ID number, which was conveniently at home. They'll e-mail you that info, but they helpfully send it to your student e-mail, which requires a password to get in. Guess what your password is? Some letters in your name plus some digits in the elusive Student ID number. Niiiiiice. And helpful, because did you hear? I didn't bring that number with me. I felt so stupid.

So I'm stressed over classes, and so much else. There's a lot I don't mind about being an adult, but the pressure of making crucial family decisions is just not my favorite. Can someone just decide for us what to do about James' career, my career, continued education for one or both of us, our house, when to have another kid, and who to vote for? Never mind on the voting, I'll figure that out myself. But can someone else make all the rest of those decisions for us? Thanks so much. And make sure they're the best decisions, agreeable to myself, my husband, my kids, our parents, society, and God. Okay? Okay.

What a nice break to take before school starting back up! Gotta love not being prepared for class, whether planned on or not!
Making adult decisions really just isn't fun, I don't feel like I'm old enough to have to do it. Ugh.

Here's what you need to do...have another kid now. forget about school...there are tons of cool restaurant type jobs up here. You guys could move into our 3 bedroom house with us, we could split the mortgage, and everything would be great :)
