wondering what I am going to do about Evan.
Tomorrow I am registering him for Kindergarten. It is still 7 months until school will start, and I have found out that he can repeat Kindergarten, at my request, if I feel like he needs another year. I look at the work Ethan is bringing home 1/2 way through his kindergarten school year, and it is just about on Evan's level now. I am sure Ethan is bored out of his mind with this easy stuff, but if that's the level Evan will get next year, I don't think I have to worry.
I am a little euphoric and sad all mixed into one knowing I will have an empty house during the day in just 7 short months. How could it have gone by so quickly? Just 4 years ago I had 4 kids 5 and younger and felt completely and utterly overwhelmed each and every minute and every day. Everyone needed me RIGHT NOW. Here I am now, at 7:25p, alone in my sitting room. My kids are getting changed for bed, no longer needing me for such menial tasks. What I am overwhelmed with now, is the awesome responsibility I continue to have to raise my children in a way that would be pleasing to our Heavenly Father. I don't ever want to look back at my life with my children and think, shoulda, woulda, coulda . . . I try every day to be the best I can be. Not only to make myself better, but to help my children recognize and aim for their full potential as well.
Well, I'm being beckoned for prayers, so I will have to write more "deep thoughts" later.
