We are that smart

UPDATE: so I got my school loans and grants and will be taking 12 credits this semester. I will quit my job on January 16th. Jordan's grandma will be watching him for me until she finds a new job and then I will be getting him an in-home nanny.
p.s. I have two weeks of paid holiday vacation and don't know what to do with myself. glad my dad will be here to entertain me while everyone else is still at work.

Jordan is potty training. In the early stages, but still exciting. It's helpful that he is able to do it at home at the same time as his roommate and at his sitter's with her son. They grow up so fast...
As for me, I just got enrolled in the community college. heck yes. I start in January. I'll be getting my associates degree in liberal arts. Then I'll transfer to a university for my BA. Unless plans change I am going for a masters in teaching (English literature with minors in creative writing and theatre/playwriting). I haven't decided how I'm going to go about this just yet. I may go full time (17-18 hours) and quit my job. Jordan will be going to daycare in the new year. We shall see. I will keep my blog updated on that topic. Wish us both luck!

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.
