Back To School


The kids are back in school ... I guess that's both good and bad! I hate getting back into such a grinding schedule and I miss having them around, as well as I miss being able to do things on the spur of the moment with them. The upside ... I suppose that they'll get an education! I go back to teaching tomorrow, so lots of new faces for me!
Labor Day Weekend passed in a blur. I finished up my final statistical analyses (15 hours on the calculator towards the end) and finished writing up the results. I also got started on chapter 5 and today finished up my first draft of that. The next few months will consist of revisions, rewrites, approvals, and so on. I've been so overwhelmed and concentrated on my dissertation the past 2 months, it feels like there wasn't a summer! It's kind of like a dream. After typing the last word of my draft of chapter 5 today, I sort of wandered around the house feeling really lost and without anything to do! Even so, with all the rewrites and revisions I know will be coming, as well as teaching (correcting homework, preparing for class, tests, etc), I'll be just as busy again within 2 days!
Both boys seem to be happy with their school schedules and teachers this year. Harrison really enjoyed driving his new Dodge Charger to school!

I'm 50/50 on the boys being back in school. They enjoy it (even though they complain) and they are challenged by some of their courses, but the house is a little too quiet and Katie is continually asking where the boys are...

I've seen Harrison driving around in his new car -- he looks pretty cool in it (and my boys are green with envy!).
