Update

The school update is actually promising this time. The human resources department has now realized that 37 kids in one classroom is crazy so we now have 2 long term subs who have taken over a 6th and 7th grade classroom. We still have the 5/6 split and the 3/4 split but some of the pressure has been alleviated. As for me, I am doing my resource job and I am really enjoying it. I service the k-4 grade kids who need extra help in math, reading or writing. It's really nice because it is so hands on. I don't have to worry about grading anything, I just monitor there progress and help them as needed. Most of the kids I see have such terrible home lives that to get a little one on one time daily with me is exactly what they need to survive.

At home things are okay, we have a contract on our house so we hope to move soon. Of course the contract is contingent on the other people selling their house but hopefully it will all work out. the kids are so busy with their fall sports and activities that we hardly get a night without something going on.

We are going to a Wedding this weekend which will be fun because Bob is in it and a lot of our old friends will be there. We're looking forward to the annual Halloween festivities at my parents' house. Hopefully I'll have pictures to post. I am sad though because both of my older kids have said that they don't want to dress up or trick or treat this year/ Although I suspect Hannah will "help" Adam do his trick or treating.

Justin turns 13 on Friday and I am really scared about these crazy teenage years ahead. Hannah already acts like one so it's going to be rough for a few years. Next week I turn 35 and I feel really old for some reason this year. I am hoping to celebrate by going to the Wineries with friends.

That's about the end of the update.
