Today is day one of a new adventure with an old theme; Jess went back to school today. As a teacher you ask? No. Back to her online studies? No. Jess has gone back to school at the very place she was when I met her — Kutztown University. Why? Well, that’s a simple, yet very, very complex answer.

Right before Christmas we got a letter from the state saying that they could not certify my wife as a music teacher until she took an additional 5 courses. Turning a very long and sorted story short, her graduate university lied to her and dropped the ball, therefore, she has to go back to school. An even shorter version is that she is driving 3 hours a day to go to Kutztown University 4 days a week to finish up everything the state requires of her so she can begin teaching for the 2010-2011 school year.

What does this mean for us? Well, this means a drastic change to our lifestyle/schedule. My wife will be attending class there 4 days a week. I have also altered my schedule at work so we have someone here with Jackson. So for the next 4 months my wife will be leaving the house at 7am for school, I’ll get up with Jackson and be with him until she gets home at 1-1:30pm, then I’ll hand Jackson off and get ready for work at 2pm. I’ll be getting home form work between 10:30-11:30pm (depending on the night), letting my wife go to bed, and then putting Jackson to bed. After that, I need to try and get some sleep myself since I have to get up with Jackson in about 8 hours. Repeat this Monday-Thursday for the next 4 months. Yeah…fun!

On the bright side though, it IS only for 4 months. Hopefully the time will fly!
