Hey There!

So my school year has started off totally great! Love my job! I work with such a great group of ladies. My kids at school are great. It is pretty stress free. Cristian and Julian had a great start to school too. Here is Cristian's First day with his teacher. her name is Mrs. Rives and she is a sweet woman. He had learned so much. I have to say I am truly astonished by how he can do.
Julian had a great start too. His teacher is the hottie at school. She is young, maybe late twenties, and moonlights as a fitness instructor and Gold Gym so you know she has a rockin figure! She a beauty and a loving teacher. He is doing great. Struggling a bit with spelling because they do twenty spelling words (and hard words too). We are working on it.
Aidan is doing great too. He goes to school two days a week and cries every time I leave him. Then a minute later he is fine and is loving it!!!!!
Well, right now I am in the process of putting up all my Halloween decor which takes me like two days to do. So I should finish tomorrow.
I ran a 1/2 marathon yesterday (Saturday) and I think I messed up my knee. The terrain was awful, very rugged. I went to jump some railroad tracks and my knee went one way I went the other. i had to finish the last 3 miles limping and in a lot of pain. So I have to get in to see a doctor tomorrow. I think it is my iliotibiul band (IT Band). I'll keep ya'll posted.

Starting off the year right!

So.........I wasn't sure about this job. First off, I really didn't want to work because I wanted to help Cristian get ready for kinder next year and I wanted to start working with Aidan. Then the job I go was at a Baptist church (hello??!?!@>#@ Catholic???). So I was REALLY worried I made the wrong decision.
However, I was so welcomed at this school today that I just know that it is going to work out. I already met and hit it off with Cristian's teacher which she so sweet. I have an assistant who is totally awesome and a go getter. Also, the director is really sweet and I can see that she understands that my children come first and foremost.
The teachers are total clock watchers!!!!! Not like last year when you would get the comment at 8:30 in evening and you were barely leaving......"leaving so soon??? They are like, its 2:02, lets go home and be with our family!!!! Go shooooooooo. Go home.
I was so taken a back that I had to argue with my assistant that 2:05 was not leaving late!!!!
Who knows. I am excited!!!
Julian had a great first day too! He loves his school and his teacher. She is really sweet.
Have a good year!

Starting The School Year

So, we are on the heels of another school year! We were fortunate and had a whole 3 months of summer vacation! Julian is heading to the second grade. However, I am having some issues with Cristian. He qualifies for kinder out here believe it or not. But I am torn between sending him to Pre-K or Kinder. Academically, I know he could handle it and do well. However, he is still so little!!!! I am sure he would do a great job but I don't know whether it will all be too much for him. What to do!!!! HELP!!
On a brighter note, I got a job offer (yes I know I am supposed to be staying home, but read on for details!;)). Cristian's pre-k school offered me a pre-school job. It is only 3 days a week 9:00 to 2:00. Can't beat that!!!! The money is not so great but I think it will keep me busy enough that I can slowly ween myself from working. Hey, I have been working since I was 15 without a break, it's a habit.........
Jerry of course wanted me to stay home, but I took it. It's only a few hours a week doing fun art stuff and teaching bible stories. It's a Christian school so that religion will be part of the curriculum.
Getting back to the Cristian thing, I am so torn about what to do. He has come such a long way this summer......Miss y'all!
