Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow!

Well, I guess we will start with yesterday. It was certainly not a typical Shabbat. First, Bruce and I had to drive to Montgomery for a mandatory parent meeting at Evangel for the new school year. Not only did we have to drive up on the Sabbath, but we had to drive in all of the rain and wind from tropical storm "Fay". The bright part of this day was that it was Alex's 17th birthday. Yes, that is right my baby boy is now 17 and about to begin his senior year of high school! I can hardly believe it....seems like only yesterday that Bruce and I brought him home from the hospital. The remainder of the day was filled with wind and rain...lots and lots of rain.

As far as today goes, well the sun is shining now and the rain seems to have moved on for the time being. I began my day by listening to my favorite .....Rabbi Greenbaum. His live lesson and chat started about 10am and concluded a little after noon. After lunch, I began preparing for tomorrow....which is when we plan to begin school. I gathered all of Clemmie's books and started preparing my lesson plans...at least for the 1st week. Alex has cleared his desk and is ready to begin......I still can't believe that this is his 12th grade year! I certainly hope that I can follow through and get started tomorrow.....it is so hard to get going....but I know that we have to do it.

Tomorrow...hopefully the school bell will ring around 9am here at "Croley Academy". This year Clemmie will have math, science, spelling, language, history and health. Alex's classes consist of physics, American government and economics, language arts, health, consumer mathematics, advanced math and the CompTia A+ certification (computer) classes. I may have omitted something, but I hope not since that looks like quite enough work to me. I have not yet prepared any lesson plans for Alex, but he can get started without them. We are also considering Alex taking some dual enrollment classes at a college located in Evergreen. We didn't check into it soon enough for the fall quarter, but perhaps the winter quarter will be available.

Shavua Tov!!
