I know, amazing that I'm actually posting. I'm on break for 20 more minutes at school and then back to teaching, so I thought I'd throw in an update. Life has been really great lately. I've been teaching a lot lately, especially in one special ed classroom, where I spent at least 2 days per week for 3 weeks in a row. I even have a maternity ( Read more... )

Ahh...the Christmas season is here. And now it actually feels a little more Christmasy since there is snow on the ground. As much as I can't stand snow, it does add something special to the Christmas season when the trees are glistening from a fresh coat of snow and little icicles are hanging down. I love everything about this time of year...the ( Read more... )

I've been reading a lot of Christian fiction lately and in the books a lot of the characters can audibly hear God speaking to them, and on a daily basis. Now, I've been wondering a lot as I've been reading these if I'm doing something wrong because I can't recall a time where I've ever audibly heard God's voice speaking directly to me. Of course ( Read more... )

I must say it's been quite a week. Monday was pretty lowkey...probably my last day of babysitting Mamie because Jessica's ankles are getting too swollen to work long days anymore, plus it's time to get back into subbing. That is exactly what I did Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday was 7th and 8th graders, the 8th graders being one of the worst ( Read more... )

That is probably the question that is going through people's minds when they see my car. It is so ugly right now that all I can really do is laugh. There were a few rust spots on the hood of the car and so my dad and I decided we should take care of it. So I sanded it down and we spraypainted some primer on those spots. It wouldn't be so bad ( Read more... )

There has been a lot of family around the last couple days. All 5 of my mom's brothers and sisters were here this past weekend, plus a handful of my cousins, including my cousin who is back for a visit from Japan! We were all at my house Saturday and at my aunt and uncle's house in town Sunday. There was of course lots and lots of good food and ( Read more... )

Whew, it's been a busy week. Last week I had my two interviews, technically 3 I guess. I feel like they went pretty well, and the trip overall was good except for waiting for an hour for a rental car and getting lost on the way to the hotel. We got up at 3:30 that morning and didn't crash until 1:30 a.m. We were exhausted and cranky, but next ( Read more... )

So, I've got three interviews coming up this week, two in North Carolina and one in Maryland. It's going to be a long couple days, but hopefully something will come out of it. One would think that with three interviews and more than one position available for each interview that something will give, but we shall see... Prayers are appreciated:)
