Fall is Here

By
I should be doing my homework. I have been, but I need a break. And - I have a test tomorrow that as of this moment, I have not a CLUE what to study. :)

It's been a good few days. The big birthday came my way. I had school as usual in the morning and then went to my favorite spa and had my annual birthday facial. My sister's gave me one for my birthday a few years ago and it was so fabulous, I've made it a tradition for myself. If you haven't ever indulged, I highly suggest it. It was a great. After that, Naomi and I met up, ate some lunch and then did a little outlet shopping. We had fun. Thanks to everyone who called -- I appreciated the singing too!

Halloween is coming! Not that I am into dressing up but, I love to see the kids all dressed up. My little Ben was trying on his big brother's fireman hat -- they're just all so cute. This also means fall is officially here and sadly enough, cold weather will be here to stay.

And finally, just something else I can't get off my mind.....I've been blessed with wonderful friends in my life. We all have trials, some more difficult than others. One of my dearest friends is facing an uphill battle, not for herself but for her child. Her oldest son Tyler was just diagnosed with Lymphoma. He is a wonderful boy and the best big brother to his little brother and three adorable little sisters. Please remember them in your prayers.

Summertime...and the living is easy

By
I woke up this morning at the glorious hour of 5:30 am. At least the sun is out now, with a little glow in the sky, which is nice. Anyway, my mind began to do that self-talk that you do when you are trying to convince yourself that you need to get out of bed on a Monday morning and start getting ready for work. It is slightly ineffective at times, as it was today because I was running a little late, getting to school just before the bell. That's not really the point of my blabbering though. So, my mind began to think about and really realize that I have made it to the end. The end of my first school year and that all of my collective educational efforts will be epitomized in my soon to be summer vacation. Holy Crap!!! I'm really excited now. I haven't had a "summer vacation" since I was a high school student. Part of my reasoning for wanting to teach was to allow myself to have a life. I feel like I have spent the last sixteen years doing nothing but working...

Lightbulb Moment

By
Today, I realized something ---- I'm a busy girl. Work a 45+ hour a week job. I am a student and spend six hours sitting in class per week. I also work a second job, where I spend about 6 - 10 hours per week. Some days I am gone from my home for 14 hours. This however, is not the revelation. I hope we've all previously established that I'm not that dense. :) It doesn't matter how much homework I have to complete or how much homework I have to grade or if I'm home by 3:30 or if I don't get home until 8:30. Everything that I do, every place I have to be, every hour I have to spend away from home, I am glad and grateful to be there. I love being a teacher. I enjoy spending time working at RCW. I am grateful for the opportunity to go to school, which allows me to be a teacher now, and not later. I love spending any spare time I have with my family and friends, especially my nieces and nephews. (I am really great at pretending to be Bumblebee to three-year ...

Oh, What to Do in the Summertime....

By
Three weeks left. I have three weeks to finish writing my senior thesis and the end has officially come. Life has been full these past three months. Of course I "graduated." I had the whole ceremony and stuff. Once I finish my thesis then I'll be official. It was really an amazing day. Such a feeling of accomplishment it felt a little surreal in many ways. Trying to cram in almost four years of school into two years will make you a a little crazy but, I survived.....and I never thought I would really make it. All of my sisters came, which meant so much that they were there to support me. There have been so many family functions and things that I have missed over the past two years because I had class or had to do my home work. I'm a lucky girl to have such a great relationship with my siblings. Here we all are: I have been looking for jobs and stuff. There is nothing out there. The couple leads I did have did not go in my favor. It begs the question - why ...
