college

Today, Gavin excitedly entered the kitchen as I was preparing breakfast on this President's holiday ready to tell me something. He announced, "Mom, I am not going to go to college." He has told me this before, and I believe in promoting higher education without forcing it upon my kids. A skilled trade or some sort of technical training would also allow them a very respectable living some day and not everyone in our world has or needs a college education. So I inquired why. He explained, "I am going to stay home and go to college instead. I know how. You do it online in your pajamas."



I think it may be time to limit TV viewing again.

KEEP BELIEVING

  6. So he is going to stay home with you and go to college at the same time. Hmmm. Sounds like a good deal if he will still do his chores.
    I am so glad to see you blogging again. 3 months without an Angie fix is a long time. My favorites was almost in the invisible stage.
    How are you and the boyz doing? Have you been working at the school. Are you still dating ? (That was a prying question. I am sorry.)
