Busy, and then Not

Life here is so busy.  Kids in scouts, Achievement Days, all four school aged kids are in school plays. Callings, volunteering, school, work travel and dating time.  But then, we get to have down time.  This past week was Spring Break for all the school attendees.  We had nothing planned and did nothing.  It was so nice.I love not having anyone dictate what my family does, and how we spend our time.  The kids get a little bored, but really it's okay to bored.  It forces them to talk to each other and do things together.  It's good for them.

This semester is over on April 8.  I am getting pretty excited about it.  I have decided not to take any classes for Spring semester this year.  We have vacations planned and I have done homework for the past two years while on vacation.  I also felt that it is important to be able to spend time with the kids and do some projects and make some quilts and do nothing if I want.  Last summer I took three classes and I felt like any free time I had consisted of me telling the kids I couldn't do something with them or to be quiet so that I could study.  Not fun for anyone.  After my tough semester in accounting last semester I need a little break.  I love my English class, and I'm really acing it.  I have received "A's" on all of my papers and I even earned a 100% on one.  I could blow off the final group project and have an 87 in the class, but I won't.  I have a 99% right now.  It's a much better feeling than last semester when I really considered dropping out of school.  I am also taking a break this coming semester because I will be taking ACCT 202 and English 301 in September.  I think I will be a little busy, but I think I can do it.  It will take so much prayer.  

The kids are doing well.  I think they are ready for summer, but they can push through for 43 more days.  I am counting down.

Tomorrow is an Arrow of Light ceremony.  The awards I made are really nice. I didn't make an arrow, but I did make some nice plaques.  It is going to be great.
