back to school

In January I start college. Finally. I'll be going to the Austin Community College and getting my associate degree in liberal arts. I'll be taking the classes I can online, and I'll get a sitter for the classes I have to take on campus (which is just down the street). The full time schedule will be hard on Jordan because we will have a little less time together, but of course it will be worth it. In two years I'll either be transferring to UT or to a university out of state. we shall see. I plan on a masters in english literature, so I can teach at a university. Wish me luck!

busier than we look

Jordan and I are staying productive but we don't seem to get as much done as I would think all those hours would do for us. He hasn't been sleeping too well, he sleptwalked once and I found downstairs on the couch. He crawls out of his little bed about 2am and comes into my room. Then tosses and turns until he's kicked me out of bed. We're up at about 8 and spend the day together. We mostly hang around the house or play at the park. Then he goes to his sitter's with her son Evin, who's his age, and plays there while I work. She does very well with him. He knows half his alphabet and most of his numbers. He's learning fast and soaks it all in. When I pick him up at about 10pm he sometimes doesn't want to leave. But I do love how he yells "mama" and gives me a big hug. Some weekends we go spend time at my mom's. He loves his grandparents! And everyone loves my little boy.
