My First Blog

I'm so excited to be posting my first blog!  It's kind of like writing in a journal, but everyone can see it.  Since my blog is titled "Everyday life with my 3 sons", I think I'll make my first post about my 3 sons :)  School starts 2 weeks from today, and in some ways I am ready, and in some ways I am not.  I love summer!  I love sleeping in and not really having to be anywhere or do anything, and I get to be home with my kiddos.  My boys are 14 (15 next month), 12, and 4 (5 next week).  So, not only is school starting, but 2 of my kids have birthdays coming up soon.  I'm also going back to work part-time as a preschool teacher, and I'm in school myself.  My oldest son is homeschooled (his choice), so I have to get his curriculum together for the school year.  I actually don't have much to do for him before school starts.  My middle son is going into 7th grade.  I had to buy him a trombone, get school supplies, football stuff, sports physical, immunizations, and various other things.  My baby is starting kindergarten this year.  I'm really quite sad about it.  I know he will be fine.  He is very social, and he will love it, but mommy would love to keep him home for another year.  I know the next 2 weeks are going to zoom by, but I want to savor each moment.  I want to not be aggravated with my kids.  I want to not yell at them when they don't listen.  So, that's what I'm striving for.  To make the last 2 weeks of summer the best yet.
