It feels good to have time to blog again! It has been a while! Lately I have been living "the crazy life." I have had roles of wife, mommy, full-time teacher, and student. Needless to say, my "free" time has been minimal. It has been stressful, but should start to get better!
Last weekend I completed my second course since July (for a license renewal and pay scale increase). WAAAHOOO! I finally submitted it today along with a huge sigh of relief!
Report card grades were due Thursday and parent teacher conferences are Monday and Tuesday evening. If I can get through those days, it should, should, should, get easier!
On Wednesday, the third grade at Jefferson will be having their 4th annual Pumpkin Drop. I am lucky to be involved with it this year, I guess. :) My students are just absolutely fantastic this year! They have created some great pumpkin contraptions and I am excited to see how they work. However, I will be the one dropping the contraptions from the PFD's ladder truck at 88ft. Not sure how I feel about this, but the students in my class were EXTREMELY excited to have me go up there. It's a big deal for them. Please pray it's not super cold, rainy, snowy, windy, that day! I don't need any more stressers! :) I'll let you know how it turns out!
Then, on Thursday, we are heading to Wisconsin Dells!!!! I CAN NOT WAIT! I am so excited to have this long weekend with my boys! We are also going to be joined by some pretty fun company which I am really looking forward to as well! (and of course Moose Jaw!)
The boys are doing well with everything. I love them so much! Frankie is doing better with is eating/growing/and pinching at daycare. We will go for his 18 month check up in a couple of weeks. I hope he is gaining enough weight to not be such a concern any more. Jak is amazing! He loves school still and is learning so much! He loves daycare, too, which is such a relief! He's so easy, though! This past week he told me the letter sounds from A-Z! I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!! Mrs. Bonnie, Mrs. Janet, Ms. RheeAnn and Ms. Amy have been wonderful teachers!
We also were able to get our family pictures taken a couple of weeks ago. I have been so busy, I haven't even had a chance to look at them! I will try to go through them and post some soon!
Life is good right now. I continually wish I were home with my boys, but I am still trying to stay optimistic that day will come. I know we are very blessed.
