Stuff and Junk

Back to school, back to school. NAU teaching program started last week. Writing intensive everywhere. Not to mention I have a technology teacher who knows nothing about technology and says "oh well, you guys can figure it out." Technology is great but it freaks me out and I get really nervous trying to figure it out.

If you gave me a few more weeks without knowing what the baby is, I would have guessed a girl. I haven't been THIS moody or weird sick with the other pregnancies. I feel like I am cranky all the time and I need to find something to perk the mood. NO, chocolate does not help....actually not a big fan of it right now.

I have been subbing random classes for the district. It is fun to go back to my school from last year and listen to all the students say hi and we miss you. Hopefully I will get to be their teacher again before they all graduate someday.

Collin (very slowly, step by little step) has been improving in school. The teacher is not worried and assures me constantly she just has to find his niche. I applaud her constantly for her patience and persistence with him. I knew I picked her for a reason.

Behind on Blogs Part 2: Painting

Our house has been flat white inside for two years now. the paint was getting filthy due to little kids running around and touching everything. Thanks some wonderful people we got two main rooms done: kitchen and living room.
Colors are Stratosphere: Light blue
Brandied Pears: Rich Cream
Sprig of Ivy: Green accent.

Behind on the Blogs. First Day of School

Collin had his first day of school on August 3rd. The day went well in the morning. He woke me up and said," I get to go to school today!"
Around 11:00 we started getting him ready for school ( he has PM kindergarten) and he decided to have a meltdown. He didn't want to wear his new shoes to school. His other pair are falling apart and gross and he wanted to wear them. He then didn't want me to comb his hair and screamed he wanted his hair messy.
After much fighting, we drove him to school and had him line up with the classes. They meet in the library where they are escorted to lunch. After waving goodbye we left him with his group. At pick up time he was so excited and happy. A much better attitude then when we dropped him off. We took him to his classroom door for pictures and said he loved it. He even got to eat a corndog, tater tots, and chocolate milk for lunch (healthy i know.)

So far he has been in time out twice (that I am aware of) and didn't get to go to recess because he was poking people. Hopefully this will change soon. I don't want to feel I need to apologize to his teacher all the time. The weekend has confused him and he doesn't know why he not going to school on Saturday and Sunday.

It's A.......
