I Have A 5 Year Old

So, it's August and I still don't have a plan nailed down. Here comes kindergarten. It's right around the corner. I almost thought I had the answer but I don't. I vacillate between It's kindergarten; we're learning everyday anyways; I know what I'm doing & don't need to worry about whether or not I'm signed up with anything by the first day of school (or ever) . . . . and . . . . OH NO the first day of school's coming and I haven't picked a school or filled out paperwork and oh no, if he's going to go and he misses the first day it'll throw his whole school experience off and be highly detrimental in every imaginable way.

I made a chart. If my technical abilities are up for it tonight, maybe I'll even try to put it at the bottom of this post. That's what my decision-making has boiled down to, a chart. The heart of the matter is gone. There's technicalities, details, pros, and cons but what happened to my heart for my kid's education? In an effort to mix a little heart into my deliberations, I've decided to go back and read all my old blog posts. I hope to find some peace and motivation in the process. I'm starting as soon as I hit post on this brief update.

Perhaps as the school year approaches, blogging will re-enter my universe. I plan to write about my first two children's names sometime in the very near future. Ever since I wrote about baby's name, I've felt guilty that I haven't put anything down about brother and sister.
