Catch Up

Well, I started interning.

I have 4th grade at Cook Elementary

until Spring Break, then I'll go to

4th grade at Caledonia Elementary. All

semester...4th grade. Hopefully I love

4th graders.  I start full days tomorrow..

I can already tell I am going to be worn out

by the time 3 p.m. gets here tomorrow. Just

after two half days of being there I felt like

it had been a whole week! 

And, on top of all this craziness of school,

Harper is sick again. This time it is congestion,

but it sounds so bad. She feels so bad

and gets so frustrated because she can't drink

her milk because she can't breathe. :/ Poor baby.

We have been babying her, which is not

good for her or us. She wants to be rocked non

stop while she sleeps; if I stop rocking, she wakes up.

She is eating lots of table food, though. I just know

she's going to cut a tooth anytime now. She just has to.

I am so sad we haven't been attending our life group

lately.  It is on Thursday nights, and with me having

to be at school at 7 a.m., it's just not possible

for us to go and not get home until 9 or later and

get the kids fed, bathed, and ready for bed in a timely

manner.  We have schedule around here........but

I am starting to read the book that the rest of

our life group started, so I know what is going on

at least.  D is helping a lot around here! It took long enough

that it is hard work to take care of

two kids, cook, clean, do laundry, and school

work all at the same time! He knows I'm kidding...

He has always helped, but now we are both

having to do it all a lot more.  

With school in full swing, this semester is

going to FLY by. And I am ready.  I have started filling

out job applications and am just waiting on my

letters of recommendation to arrive so I can put

them in the envelope.  I need a job, like, as soon

as  I graduate.  D has been holding the weight of

taking care of us for two years while I finished school.

Bless him.  I love him so. :)

With spring coming soon, that means t-ball is coming, too!

Kyler will probably play in Caledonia this time,

since that is where we live and he will go to school

here... Figured he needs to meet all the kids and we

need to meet the parents.  And my plan is to meet

the teachers at Caledonia to put a good word in for

me so I can teach here, too! ;) Gotta do what I gotta do.

Whew. Lesson plans have consumed me today.  

Let's hope this first full week of teaching is 

full of positives and smiles!

Have a good week!

Here are some pictures from the weekend......
