I'm really enjoying the fact that Kate (jr. high) gets home most of an hour before her sisters (elementary). It gives us a little quiet time to talk about things. Today, after covering the daily complexities of 7th grade life, we discussed the details of living on a budget, starting at the bottom to get to where we want to be (career-wise), and other career and life related questions. She is really enjoying her CTE (careers technology and economics... or something like that) class and this is all part of her current area of study. It's great to sit and look at her imaginary job and budget and help her find places she can cut back, discuss why one job may earn more money than another, figure out how to fit everything into the day, and all those things. Now the other girls are home and things are getting more chaotic, but I can see this time being precious to both of us through the school year. via Facebook
