Things here have been interesting. Brad's job has changed this year, and I would nto say for the better. At his last school were he worked as an asst. the teachers and admin. didn't respect or treat him well. At this school his teachers and Admin like him and want him to succeed, but the distcit person who deals with the students he works with and his supervising teacher are unsure what to do and being a structured kind of guy the crazyness is stressing him out. this is also a very physically demanding job and where brad is a asthmatic and severe allergies physicallity is not his strong area. needless to say he is tired and worn at the end of each day.


I am adjusting to being at home. as you can see from the video Laurana loves to help me clean and do laundry. we are getting along well. think she is transitioning from a 2 nap schedule to a 1 nap schedule. I miss teaching. I really wish that I was in the class room, but I love spending time with LAurana it is a catch 22. We shall see what god has planed for the future.


I also miss being around people. Being home alone with just laurna all day is really rough on me I am a people person and I miss being around people. so if anyone is free and wants to come over for coffee or meet at the park.. or anythign that is free I would love ot spend time with firends.

It's hard to remember that when you were down here last Laurana couldn't even walk at all. We kept trying to get her to take a step or two. Now that's gone forever. I know it is hard to be home when you want to work and I pray that something will come your way soon.

Such a good helper! : )

Are there any library programs, mommy and me programs or MOPS? Might help a little.

I'll pray you find social times and that Brad will adjust to the changes (esp physical). That is GREAT though that they are supportive! Having had times of feeling a lack of colleague connection, it really helps when you feel that positive energy.

Annevsary's and baby firsts

Image
Okay, let see, our 4th annavsary was this week. We have been married four years. It feels a little longer. I guess we have just packed alot into it and that makes it seem longer. I am really very happy/glad, that I married brad. He has been supportive when I have been flipping out. He takes care of me, and needs me, he is calmed by me when he is flipping out, he has created the cutest little bear with me, we have shared laughs, football games, Musicals, movies, TV shows, books, basketball games, tears, hardship, lack of funs... in short, the better and the worse, the richer and the poorer, the sickness and the health, alaughter and the sorrow, I married a very specail man and I am truly blessed because of it. I can't thank God enough that He saved bard for me. As for First, this week the baby slept all night for the first time. We fed her at 9:00 pm, put her down and she doesn't get up til around 7:30. (of course if we get up early and start moving around she wakes up too) but ...

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Sanity

Okay so this week has been a little wild. Between getting ready for testing at school. Trying to keep students who are ready for summer focused. PMSing, Brad having his huge action research proposal due yesterday and many other little things, I have felt just the slightest bit overwhelmed. I will say that Sanjya finally got voted off American Idol. He couldn't sing, coldn't dance and there and there was really no reason he made it this far above and beyond that people wanted to see what crazy thing he would do each week. Well finally they got it through their heads that he coudln't sing and sent him packing, me and Simon Cowl were thrilled. Please continue to pray for brad, his feet and shins are still bothering him. wE think it is shin splints but we are not sure. He is giving them the 2-4 week rest period that shin splints need and if they don't get better he will go to the dr. as I mentioned above, testing starts next week, here in teh state of Kentucky, and th...
