The last week before school

This past week had its ups and downs. Most of the downs are just me getting used to being pregnant, and I guess that isn't so bad. I didn't accomplish much though. I bought my school books, which cost me just shy of the first born (Ellie was saved!). I keep telling myself that its all worth it... but man, when that cash register rung up those prices, YOWZA! I officially start my classes tomorrow (Monday, August 22) and I'll be taking an Education class, a Math class (its actually a "how to teach math" math class), a photography class, an English class, and finally a Biology class. That last class will be online though, to kinda ease to the workload... I hope. I'm realizing I post all of this information on a previous entry, so... sorry!

Tom is doing well. He's in Fort Huachuca, Arizona now and seems to be alright. He's really been working on losing weight and from what he's told me, he's doing a great job. I'm really proud of him. He had a goal and he's already met it, within two weeks. I wish I had more to report for him, but being that he's not here, and our conversations are normally short at the end of the night, that's about all I've got. Oh, he did mention he found nerdy buddies to help him pass the time, so at least he's got an outlet for that! :)

Ellie started her "school." She absolutely loved it! She didn't cry when I left and she didn't throw a fit about leaving at the end of the day either. It was wonderful. There was actually a small party that day because a couple of the children there weren't going to be coming back (or something) so they had a little party. Ellie was included and had a great time. She was talking about it all the way home and for the rest of the night. She'll be in "school" every week day, and honestly, I think the structure is something she's been craving. Not to mention all the social interaction with other kids, and other adults for that matter. She's definitely looking forward to going back to school tomorrow.

I think that about covers everything for now. I'm trying not to divulge too much into the other topics that I write about on different days, such as the pregnancy and the crafts I'm working on. I hope you enjoyed reading this!
