oh boy....here we go.......
My 14th year in this district. AJ starts high school-big 9th grader. Ryker is in the middle school in 7th grade. Dempsey is in her final year as a 5th grader at elementary school! So we are representing 4 schools. That is 4 different start/end times, 4 different back to school nights, 4 school conferences, 4 different sets of activities, etc.
AJ tried out for football the day before his first day of school. This was an epic event that was quite the adventure. Above all, lots of lessons were learned. At the end of the day- AJ felt loved and supported by his parents, and had the chance to make the best decisions for himself. He had a great few days of school. He really likes his teachers, he is in class with friends, and has decided to join the Ultimate Disc team.
Ryker got to start school a day after all of this, and he really enjoyed basking in that! He got to spend the extra time with Russell and that was an awesome "start" to school. He was asked by two staff members to be an aide of them, which tells me Ryker has an awesome reputation at school! He decided to be the aide for the school counselor! Ryk has watched AJ's experienced and has now backwards planned what he needs to be doing each season so that he is prepared for freshman high school football tryouts.
Dempsey loves her class and is digging her teacher. She has decided to apply for student council which is a huge deal for her! I'm excited to see how she decides to fill out the application! I still can't grasp how she will be in middle school next year, but it's cool because I legit don't need to deal with that for awhile. HAH! She is still attending gymnastics and really loves it!
As for me.....I'm getting used to a new partner at work. Typically my past partner would hold on the information in her head, and I'd help! But now I'm the person who has it in my head. It's been overwhelming to say the least. Today, after a full week at school, I am exhausted. I couldn't even get out of bed until 930am:) But I'm proud of myself...I maintained a great workout schedule, had healthy meals the entire week, and managed to get good sleep all week! Let's see if I can keep this up!
***I do feel like I'm teetering on what I want to do next in my career. I keep telling myself I can't make decisions during the first few weeks of school. Hah!
Cheers to a new year! New school, new partner, new extracurricular activities.........We can do this!
Love,
Mom
