December already, what!?!

Well wrapping up the insane school semester anyday now. Carrying 22hrs and working 16 was not my idea of fun, but APSU has a funny sense of humor that way. All my Praxis scores are in and I passed :) Yay, me. I have found that I now hate math maybe as much as my new students will only b/c it's been crammed down my throat so much, haha, but I'm sure I'll gain that affection back soon. For now, Math and I are on a break. And I'm sure these kids are ready to have their Mommy back.

Oh and my job you may ask, well I get to tutor little kids on reading. And when I'm not doing that, I shelve books at the Public Library in the Children's section. This has proven to give me good experience for both the older and younger kids. The younger kids b/c well I tutor them one-on-one, and the older kids b/c I get to chase them out of the youth section when they are whooping and hollering at each other. Great practice for my Middle School classroom next semester ;)

Big Paul

Got that internship back in August and is still working at the Peay. Emma Lynn is starting a new daycare there and he's gonna be working right across the street from her. He's still looking for jobs anywhere they are posted, keeping our options open, though we are heavily leaning towards NC. The beach, the mountains, museums, history right at our fingertips, oh yeah, it's the place to be. Though TX still isn't out of the question. But he never stops thinking about the future and is about to apply to Master's programs for the fall.

The kids

Paul Jr is reading very well now. He has lost 3 teeth total and this last one has brought him heartache in the means of teasing on the bus. Poor baby. But he has become obsessed with Pillow Pets lately and guess what present he got for Christmas, yup. He loves the 49ers and now the TX Longhorns and needs apparel to match.

Ryan is our usual little trouble maker. Oh, I hope he puts his curiosity to good use as he gets older. Right now he's into dinosaur books and hugs. He hugs anybody around.

Emma Lynn is a little firecracker, but is finally sleeping in her own room and doesn't get up in the middle of the night. Thank goodness. She is so sweet with her manners and loves her dolls. She's excited about her new school.
