Homework x 4 kiddos, soccer and volleyball, 2 lovely doggies that wants to run and play, keeping up the house .... and as of next week adding my own school and homework to the schedule ... I have my work cut out!! But it is all good...busy is great and while my to do list never ends or even seem marginally shorter even on a productive day, I feel ever so fortunate for all the wonderful blessings in my life.
Our exchange student arrived on Sunday and just a few days in, she is doing fabulous. Her English is very good but I know it will still take her just a little bit to feel fully comfortable hearing herself speak another language all the time. She had her first day at school today. It was a bit overwhelming with all the new impressions, things to remember, and homework. So after a little while, I banned homework for the day as she needed to get some rest. She seems very sweet and I hope she will enjoy her stay in the US.
With all the kids of to school today, it was time for a bit of catch-up for me in order to get ready for school. I start on Monday so not much time left before I really need to kick in back in to study mode.
I also went to meet with the volunteer service coordinator at our local hospital today. I have been wanting to get some community volunteer service in and figured that the hospital will be a great place to do it at. So now I just need to wait for my criminal background check and drug screen to come back and then I can schedule orientation. My hope is that I can volunteer in some capacity that will give me a little bit of patient exposure.
It has been a long day today and I am ready to hit the pillows and conquer more of my long list of "fun stuff" to do tomorrow :-)
