Taking the kids to my Alma mater
We took the older kids to my Alma mater today, the University of Mississippi, to watch the historic Egg bowl against MSU. It was great fun to be back on campus. So much has changed since I’ve been there, and it was especially surreal to be taking some of my children with me to visit.
Assuming my kids attend college, I don’t know where they will end up. I hope one of their desires as they grow older is to attend a college where academic excellence is emphasized in the curricula. The face of college is rapidly changing, so it will be interesting to see what’s offered for them when they are of age to attend. Maybe we’ll have a Libertarian in the White House by then who will help boost our education system.

Today, there was no alarm clock. We all slept in which was wonderful. My sister and I hit the local gym. I usually don’t go to the gym during the day because I’m teaching so this was a treat. My mother had gotten us passes so we didn’t even have to pay. This was followed by a large turkey lunch with all of the trimmings. The infamous Walmart run came next where the kids were allowed to buy a toy to play with. Lastly, friends and family came over for a bonfire and hot dog/marshmallow roast. I’m exhausted again but not from lack of sleep. No, the exhaustion is from having too good of a time. Sometimes you just can’t win, I guess:)
BTW-my niece is a superstar in the long distance running world already at a very young age. We are hoping she’ll be competing in the next summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. What a great homeschool field trip that would be!
