Blues Festival





Crystal and I went to the Blues Festival in Gahanna, what fun! Music, and balloons and water and rides, the kids had a blast and I rather enjoyed watching the kids riding on the rides. This was Collin's 1st time at a "fair"... if you could call it that, it was huge but to him it was.

Cregan



Cregan graduated Kindergarten today! He's going into the 1st, Clay goes into the 3rd and hopefully Collin will go into some kinda preschool...

Cregan's teachers are great, they have a graduation for them, where they walk into the gym to Pump and Circumstance, the prinicple speaks, the kids sing, they get diploma and have paper hat...all very cute... he was very excited and throw us lots of thumbs up and air gun shots...

His teacher Mrs Calhoun is wonderful with him and thinks he's is hilarious! Her favorite story of him was when they were at story time and they were reading what was a kinda spooky book about a boy who kept hearing a noise, kinda in the distance, kinda like a whisper and as she was about to turn the page to see what this noise was, Mrs Calhoun asks the class "what do you think the noise is??" expecting things like it's a ghost, or a monster... well Cregan raises his hand and says "it's the Holy Spirit whispering..." It was much cuter hearing it from his teacher.. that's my Cregan

Done with this quarter

My version of hell would consist of repeating this quarter over and over and over...

I have my bachelor's in arts in Psychology, it was freaking hard, tons of papers, tests all the time, experiments and calculations...but this quarter, **sigh** this quarter kicked all the other quarters of my schooling experience in the behind and took some names....

It was a busy, tiring, extensive, mentally draining, guilt ridden (not spending appropriate time with children, spouse and house), time consuming, brain exploding...

It started with our instructors asking the class during a lecture, "so how many of you all are going full time?" a good number of us raised our hands, "well you will probably won't make it," she says straight faced.... I barely squeezed by, but I did and thank goodness, now it's 1 class - which consists of a 2 hour lecture, 2 hour seminar and 10 hour clinical... but oh so better than the alternative of doing this quarter again...
