I feel like I am starting the first grade with C. On her first day of first grade she said
C-Mom, I really liked kindergarten
M-I know you did
C-First grade is prob. going to be too hard
M-But you are so smart once you get going you will remember everything and it will be easy like kindergarten
C-they don't have centers
M-They'll have new things you'll love
C-MOM you aren't helping-Don't try to make it better. I am just nervous!!!
Today is my first day of SCHOOL! So different than working 30 hours a week in photography where I am in my own zone-I am a bundle of nerves. I was actually fine until I started reading the syllabus for a couple of the classes. My nerves hit the top when I read that I actually needed to do oral class presentations. HMMM....as much as I love to talk you would think that wouldn't be hard for me. But for some reason when I present myself in front of a large group it all changes for me. I become a nervous wreck (thanks to Nana for handing down her best quality) My voice changes-my hands shake-I sweat-I can't remember anything about anything-SO if I can get over the fact that I have to present myself in front of others maybe I can figure out where my classes are held!!!
It's been 12 years with the exception of 1 class in 1999. I took some online photography classes but really 12 years since I went to school. I had just delivered Andrew and thought I was up for some more classes. I cried and was so miserable when I left he and Blake that fall. So, I dropped all my classes and went back home. Although I was really not that far to finish I couldn't keep my mind straight and I worried about them the whole time. So here I am now age 34 praying that my brain cells will come back!! Thank goodness for spell check! Too bad they won't have centers!

chicken in crock pot tonight. This is so easy-if you don't already do this I wanted to share
Whole chicken thawed
a couple of slices of onions
a couple of peeled cloves of garlic (crushed or whole)
Put chicken in crock pot and add slices of onion and garlic into the cavity of the chicken. Cook 8 
hours. YUMMY
hours. YUMMY
Mulipication facts cupcakes. No one can eat a cup cake until the person trying to learn their math facts gives the answer! These are for LB. She forgot her math facts over the summer so we are trying to remember. I loved this idea. Wish I had thought of it but I got it from Family Fun!

Oh Gretchen, I am so proud of you!!! It's the hard things in life that make us stronger! You will be fine, you will do great!
And I am SO copying your chicken in the crockpot.....dinner tomorrow night cooking all day while I'm at work--fabulous!
Gretch! even in my selfish hour, i pray for you to get through the day! then it'll all be a breeze. like riding a bike right?! Have fun and good luck. love you baby! xoxoxo
Gretch,you are so much better at this than I am! I read my syllabus last night to and I was ready to quit!! Who really wants to be a nurse??!! At least you have dinner AND desert prepared, I don't even know what where having!!
Good luck-you will be wonderful!!
I have thought about you all morning. I know you will do great. It will just take some adjustment figuring out your new routines and schedules.
You know you are doing the right thing. That doesn't mean it will be easy but you can do it!!!
Wow! Good luck! Thanks for the dinner idea. Keep posting more! Easy, quick recipes are always needed! How much longer do you have in school?
You will do great, you always do! I feel for you when it comes to the oral presentation, I could not do that.No.Way. To me that makes going to China to get Max seem like a piece of cake! :)
Good for you Gretchen to get back into it. Did Steve give you a daddy's blessing before the first day of school? :-)
You'll do so great!
So how was it?????
