It's been two months since we've been in Seattle. It has taken a little adjusting, but overall things are fine. We have been taking advantage of the beautiful sunny days (it rained today - I know Labor Day means the end of summer on the mainland, so I'm a little bummed! But luckily fall has some things to look forward to!) We went camping at the beach, I went to two baby showers & visited with two close friends, we put our toes in the ocean and a lake! We have been busy. Which is good, because being busy makes you miss things less.
C took his first law school class over the summer and earned a B, which I think is pretty impressive! It was a little hard adjusting to his school schedule because he got home so late. But he was home during the day. A few weeks ago, he started a full-time job filing contracts at a book company. So it's been just K & me home during the day and C home for dinner.
Tonight was his first "real" law school class. His first work all day, go to school at night, real law school class. It was just me & K, all day, all night.
Although, I'm feeling pretty good. It's 7 p.m. and she is fed (made teriyaki beef with broccoli and rice - with extras for C's dinner tomorrow night), bathed, and we are watching a movie (Veggie Tales: The Pirates who Don't do Anything). The food is put away, the dishes are done, I'm 2/3 done with laundry, the living room & dining room are picked up. I'm feeling pretty good about this! I know, it won't last. Haha. I won't be this put together every night, but it feels good to have it all together tonight!
Work/School back in Hawaii started without me, and two people have emailed/texted me looking for things/needing help, so that makes me feel a little loved. But sad.
Being home all day with K has its perks and its downfalls. She is tiring! But so much fun. Though I am feeling like I am running out of ideas for things to do with her. I hope that I'm teaching her enough! I thought I wanted to put her into preschool when she turns 3, in January, and I have been researching information about this. Turns out, preschoolers only go to class max 3 times a week and for half days! So now I'm not sure what to do about work because I would hate to have to put her into a daycare for the rest of the time. They do have these interesting facilities called co-op preschools, where the parent goes one day a week and helps out, so I might check that out. I like that idea!
Anyway, I will try to be more regular with this. I know there aren't too many blogs about families attending law school and I want to keep this updated.
