This morning is the first during-the-school-year morning in three years that my kids have gone to Early Morning Seminary without me.
And it feels very strange.
And I'm not sure whether I like it or not.
My basement, where we held seminary last year, is dark and quiet this morning. My home feels a little empty without all those awesome teenagers in it.
We're car pooling with my friend Diane, and it's our week to drive, so John even drove this morning. His goal is to drive the kids to seminary when it's our turn and then go on to work. He says he gets a lot done at work when there's no one there.
My goal while the kids are at seminary every morning is to catch up on my sleep study for when I'll be subbing in seminary in September when our teacher is in Korea visiting her daughter. She had this trip planned long before she got this new gig teaching seminary, and since I was sad about not teaching seminary anymore I offererd to sub for her.
That was before I decided to work at John's office 4-5 days a week this semester and only take one college class instead of two.
And when that subbing-for-seminary month is over, my goal is to do my homework during the time the kids are at seminary and before I go to work.
(Or blog, or _______, or ______, because I'm a bit of a procrastinator sometimes). ;o)
So life will be a bit crazy this semester with working during the time the kids are in school, taking a college class, serving with the Young Women at church, teaching seminary for a month, and the usual mom-type stuff.
Yes, it will be a bit crazy.
But I'm so thankful that it's worked out as it has, craziness and all. It's a blessing. And if the semester proceeds as it has the last two days, Kailen and I will be doing homework together every afternoon because that girl had a lot of homework the second day of school. I guess her teachers aren't wasting any time.
So I should probably get busy...
