I got a frantic call last week from Shawn that Amy was breaking up with him and the kids needed to come home. Now. So after a couple days of complete chaos I headed to Seattle on an emergency rescue mission to pick my kids up at the airport. Followed by an equally emergent return when it was discovered that Kathrynn had more lice than I've EVER seen on one head. Yuck!

So they are home now. We're still adjusting to all the turmoil. Well I am. I've given up on trying to do well in my classes. Instead I would just like to pass them. It would be so much nicer if I could just put one portion of my life on hold be it kids or school while I had some time to focus on the other when necessary. I had a quiz today on 4 chapters I hadn't even had a chance to skim!

And then Kathrynn and Aiden both tell me separately that they want to go to school this year...

On the one hand sending them to school would make the chaos in my life less. I wouldn't have to worry so much about balancing daycare and my school and CVA and Aiden going to speech once a week. But I don't WANT them to go to school. I don't like dealing with school! I don't know what to do. I was really excited about homeschooling because I thought I had found a way to make it all work and despite having to juggle a little to make it work I thought THEY would be really excited and happy about it. But they don't even want it!

It's been really nice having them back though. I missed them so much. They are NOT going back next summer. Oh, and Amy and Shawn made up. -_-
