Back to School....

My kids go back to school in about another two weeks. I can't believe the summer has flown by this quickly! We have had a great time- swimming, biking, hiking, being lazy, and just enjoying each and every day. Way back in the days when my middle daughter (now almost 9) was going to be starting kindergarten, I had planned on returning to college and finishing my degree. Low and behold the baby came along and those plans of me returning to school went right out the window. Well, the "baby" is now three and a half, and after doing some research, getting copies of my transcripts, finding out that I left college with a MUCH better GPA than I remembered, applying for federal and state financial aid, scholarships, and grants.....The kids won't be the only ones going back to school this fall! I feel pretty nervous, but anxious and excited at the same time. It's been 14 years since I took the SAT (and I just learned that your scores expire after 7 years?) so I have to take it again at some point in time. I did really well on it the first time, but now I've had over a decade to forget all of that "when are we ever going to use this" stuff that's on the test. It will be ok. One class at a time, I am finally chipping away at it. I will finish, even if it takes me a long time.
