Yesterday, I took a day long Cub Scout training called BALOO (Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation). The Pack needs BALOO trained adults/leaders because at least one is required for camping overnighters. Prior to yesterday, the Pack had 3 BALOO trained adults, now there are six. :) It was a VERY long day. And it was a little more basic than most of us needed, but it is what it is and now I'm done. I didn't get enough sleep the night before so when I got home I didn't feel well...and didn't feel well throughout the night and not so great today. :( Here's hoping that changes because school starts tomorrow!
For Adisson, I've been putting together a binder with all of his assignments and it's going pretty well! I'm just not sure how to organize Zander's stuff. He'll be doing T4L with Adisson (well, Adi will be doing 4th grade and Zander, Kindergarten) because he enjoys doing computer work so much, but I know we need to have some more hands-on stuff for him to do and I'm kind of at a loss on how to organize that.
Soccer starts this week. It's just a team selection meeting/practice, but it's on Tuesday. Cub Scouts starts this week. Our Round-up for the beginning of the year kickoff is on Tuesday (yep, both at the same time. Thank goodness Adam is still around, he'll be going to one while I'm at another). Technically, my class starts tomorrow as well.
I probably didn't tell you about that... :) A few weeks ago, I read an online article about Coursera. Essentially, it's a site that offers online college classes from great universities for free. You don't receive college credit for them (because they don't have a way to regulate that....yet). But when I read it, I was excited about the idea of getting to take a real college class from a real professor and college. :) I signed up for Introduction to Sustainability. I'm not sure I'll stick with it, it seems a little advanced for me, but I thought I'd at least try it. Plus, if it doesn't work out, there's another course I like that starts in a few weeks.
This may all be a moot point because I'm not altogether sure that I have the time to focus on a school course for myself. When I signed up for the class, I didn't have after-school sports for the boys or a job. Or a book club that I'm going to participate in that's every other week for two hours. :)
Anyway, lots to do before school starts tomorrow.
