Well, Camden has been “trying” to do it for the whole year now and he’s finally accomplished his task. He’s gotten such bad grades that he’s being kicked out of the science magnet middle school program. Today, Friday, January 16th, is his last day there. As of Monday, he will be attending the local middle school (which just so happens to be across the street.)

Jake has been talking about going back to public school for a few weeks now. We thought he’d do it at the beginning of next year. But since Camden will be attending the same school starting next Monday, Jake, Wes and I think this would be just as good a time for him to go back as well; maybe better, because he’ll have Camden there to sort of guide him.

I can’t decide if I’m happy, nervous, sad.  Wes has been bugging me for years to get a job, so now I guess I’ll have to get one…  It won’t be a “real” office type job, though.  I’m thinking Starbucks or McDonalds (I’ve done that before, and it was kind of fun), or one of the new craft stores opening up around me here.  Good news is we’ll have vacation money now.  Look out Max!  Here we come!!
