Feliz Navidad

In the spirit of Chrismakkah....I have given all of my fabulous friends and family who actually read my blog an early present. Enjoy my new playlist - I personally think it's amazing. :)

Today I was a 7th Grade Science Teacher...

...for 20 minutes. I have to say I am so grateful that I got the job I did. Being an aide at the school with 6th and 7th graders (which are two of the grades I have never wanted to teach) has been amazing! I was worried it may make me want to make a change in my career choice yet again, but heck no! I love it. Even when the kids are dirty, rotten, awful, terrible hellians; I still get a kick out of it. Yeah, I was worried I was going to lose my voice trying to get this class to settle down and shut up!!!! but I survived. And some of the kids maybe learned something. I'm super happy with it and I can't wait until I finish my schooling so I can have my own classroom and not have to go from class to class...I dread wearing heels because I know at the end of the day, I'll regret it - especially when I go see hospice patients and try to transfer them after!

Oh and if anyone is skilled at knocking out walls and building a closet there, please let me know. My tiny closet is practically throwing up dresses and shirts and i have 5 laundry baskets full of clothes with no home. Or, better yet, if you have a master bedroom available that could double as my closet, just let me know. That would be super.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

Fall update.....

Well, if anyone had told me how exhausting working 2 part timr jobs would be, I probably would not have believed them. However, it is kicking my butt along with full time school!!! But I love it. I had no idea that a part time job working with the special ed department would get me sooooooo excited to become a teacher. Its fantastic! I love the kids, I love helping them understand something they couldn't grasp, I love helping them with little problems or to feel better about themself. Its amazing. I can't wait til I have my own classroom!!!

My daddio is getting knee replacement #2 manana so most of my weekend will be hanging out at the hospital keeping him entertained.

Oh and its no longer a secret...I got a puppy. He's an adorable labradoodle I scooped up at the shelter cause I'm super lucky! He's now 7 months old and a freaking cutie. His name is Cooper and I love the little turkey to death.

And my super good friend Adrienne had the cutest little baby boy ever so I need to give a shout out to her and Jerry!! He's adorable and I have been having fun checking out cute baby duds to get him! :)

Hmmmm...what else is there to say??? I have completly finished the first class for my bachelors degree which is pretty exciting! Every assignment I turn in feels like a small step lately and I can't wait til its all done!!!! I'm starting a poli sci class next week and I'm so amped for it--this is what I've been looking forward to!

Oh and I got a power juicer and an air popcorn maker which every woman should invest in. They are lovely. And if you want some top quality apples, hit up costco. I had the best apple since I moved from Miltown. It brought back sweet memories of hayrides and leaves changing...some days I miss that frozen violent city!!! :)
