I'm a...freshman...at 30?! Oye

Today was my first day in college. I'm a freshman. I am 30 years old. 13 years ago I was starting my senior year of HIGH SCHOOL. This is just insane. Where did the time go? It really hit me today doing some introductions in sociology class. There were sophomores in there younger than me. I had to say "I'm a freshman". It felt SO silly. It's one of those moments that kind of slaps you into reality.
Gone are the skinny, low rise jeans, tight tank top, in style, cool moments. I am NOT cool. I am 30. I'm not "old", but I'm "older"....lol.... It just hit me today that's all. 30 never really bothered me until today! I'm not exactly sure where I fit in, but ah who needs to fit in right?
All that aside, today was a good first day of college. I am some super nice professors, that have some interesting stories to tell! I think this is going to be a great semester! I won't even start on how hard I think next semester will be! HA! I hope everyone else that went back today had a great day as well!
I came home- kids were crazy! lol...Thank goodness they start school tomorrow as well, or I'd never get anything done! I adore my kids, but this summer has been insane! I've kept them pretty busy, but I can only do so much. I have a new appreciation for my own mother, who also raised 3 kids! Luckily I'm not doing it on my own like she had to!

Can I just say- I wish I'd have stayed in college after high school?! I'm not sure about others my age, except a few, but I think we all wish we'd have just gotten it over with while we were young, carefree, and CHILDLESS! lol... Here's to a great semester, and a great next 4 years!

Once again..it's been awhile

Okay, lol.... Seems like every time I finally get around to blogging again- I have to always say "it's been awhile". HA! Our computer crashed, and I finally got a new laptop! woot! I don't even know who follows me, or even reads this, but I'm bored sooooo here I am.

I start school on monday! YIKES! 30 years old and starting from the bottom. I could say I'm not nervous and this is awesome, but that wouldn't be the truth. I am VERY excited to finally be going the path I should've been on from the start, but I am so nervous. I was looking at a syllabus for one of my classes and I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed and wonder what I'm getting myself into. This should be interesting to say the least.

Kids start school Tuesday! yay! Tonight is their meet the teacher night. I am terrified for them as well! Kindergarten and First grade are kind of a big deal. These teachers are shaping these kids! My kids are excited about school, and I'm grateful that they love it so much.

Kids are getting really big, they fight all the time. Beck has his own voice now and is pretty strong willed.

Not even going to lie- Tuesday- I'm taking a nap with Beck!! lol... I am one of "those" moms that is ready for school to start. If for nothing else but being able to shower and potty alone while the toddler naps. My house is always pretty chaotic and always has something to clean, and I"m just ready for a slow down.

Well....I guess I should take a shower before meeting the teachers... lets hope for good ones this year! we loved ours last year!!

out.
