The Sunday Student

Sunday night Philip always turns into the "student"

He sets up shop with his computer at the kitchen table and begins his hours of homework.

Homework and quizzes are always due Sunday night before midnight.

With our crazy schedules he is very limited on time that he can actually commit to homework so Sunday night has become "the night".

He has been taking one class each semester for the past three semesters. He took the summer semster off since I was due in June.

Typically class is Tues & Thurs nights from 6-8 or 9.

I have attempted to be as supportive of a wife as possible over the past three semester's through pregnancy and now parenthood...

I admit. Its very tough. On him and on me.

Some weeks he goes 2-3-4 days without seeing Asher because he is asleep when he leaves for work and asleep when he gets home at night.

Tonight he decided to spice homework night up with glow sticks that we got from a birthday party this weekend and a beer (blog to follow). Needless to say it "lightened" the not so light mood and called for a photo. He always sets up shop so that he can watch Sunday football. I snapped a photo when Philip wasnt expecting it, hence the facial expression. Doesn't he look thrilled!? Thankfully tonight he finished at 9 PM vs the normal midnight!

Through all of the stress of daily life, family, work, school and caring for Asher...this simple glow stick made us both smile & laugh. I am so very proud of him for sticking to his classes even though right now is probably the toughest time in his life to be a student, husband, father and son.

Oh yeah...next semester he is taking a class online so that he can spend more time with us at home while Asher is awake! He will be starting his MBA classes next fall ... he had lots of pre-req's to get out of the way before he began his MBA journey!

We are so proud of you...our Sunday Student!
