It's getting real

Today, paperwork arrived from the school.  It really makes the beginning of the year seem so very real and right there, and suddenly I am losing my enthusiasm for it.  I suspect that is due, in part, to the fact that Robert has to be on the but at 5:45 AM.  You read that correctly...that early.  Very early.  I knew to expect it, but having it confirmed made it all very real.  I know that it is only for the next two years as I doubt that Catherine or Thomas will be interested in attending the career school, and even then Robert may be able to drive at some point and sleep in about 45 minutes.  The schedule hasn't changed for the other two.  Suddenly the craziness of this week seems nothing to losing about ten hours of sleep each week.  We'll be okay though...just sleep deprived!
