I SWEAR

   Well there is another failed attempt to blog in a timely fashion.  UGGH    There have been so many things going on, then again I think I use that excuse every time I have this issue, which is more and more frequent lately. 
    Currently, I am wondering... Where are all the hours in the day going?  I was certain there was 24 hours in a day, and yet I feel like I barely have time to sleep!   I know there are plenty of you out there that can relate.  I don't know how to juggle it all sometimes. 
     There are a few new things that I don't know if I mentioned in my last post.  Then again I made the mistake of now reading that one before making this one.  Oh well.   Alittle up date won't hurt.  
     Both boy, yes both, are in soccer.  Dallas plays Mon thurs and games on sat.  Colton plays on Mondays.  Dallas has soccer pictures on Thursday, which I am excited about.  So is he, because that means tomorrow he gets to go with daddy to the PX to get a hair cut.  If you have little boys on a military post this is probably a privilege to your little ones as well.  Well the boys anyways. Of course he has school pictures the following Thurs.  Which of course is going to cost an arm and leg.  They could not have timed that all at a worse time to have them within the same pay period. 
     Dallas is doing FANTASTIC in kindergarten.  He loves it.  Currently working on his 7th week.  I go for conferences at the end of the month and expect nothing more than a good report.  I can see a really big difference since he has been there.  His teacher is amazing.  She is one of the those teachers that has been there a long time.  So she just doesn't take any crap from any of the kids.  At the same time she has been there long enough to know how to effectively teach them kids.
     On another note, My school is..... well going.  I like it, most of the time.  I mean I just feel like sometimes I know I should be doing it, but I am so tired.  I know that if I start it, I wont be done till late.  Somehow still I am getting good grades and cruising right along in the courses. 
      I started a new job.... In Aug.  I am now a Paraprofessional at the Middle School here on post. I work with 6th graders.  I know that when I was job hunting, I was really skeptical about taking any job that ment working with kids. After all I have spent the last 5 years with them at home.  It has turned out to be my favorite job I have ever held.  Which is not saying to much LOL.  I interviewed for all the elementary schools, the head start and the Middle schools.  I was offered all the positions which amazed me and made me happy.  I chose this one because this Middle school is on post so I will not have to drive to Junction City everyday.  I also decided that I have spent my years changing diapers and working with little kids.  In the end, my kids are only going to get bigger and not smaller, so why not learn the ropes about kids that are older.  The pay and hours were the same across the board.  Ultimatly, I know I made the perfect choice.  It really fits me.  This kids never seem to amaze me either.
      UMMMM> we got a new dog. I know you think that I am crazy, and I think that also.  He is a mastiff/lab mix.  Now you all really think that I lost my marbles!  I did.  He is really sweet, and his name is Bruno.  I wish we could have changed his name, but he is already 3 and knows his name.  So that was out of the question.  Dave just really wanted him and he needed a home.  His family got orders to the middle east where dogs are not allowed.  Someone had to take him.  We take good care of him though.  Bently and him get along well for 2 very different dogs.  I feel silly sometimes when they are both outside with me since they are 3 pounds and 95 pounds LOL It all works out thought. 
    My Auntie came to visit this past weekend and although I could not take time off, we had fun.  We really only one full day together.  Oh well, we made the best of it.  She came in Thursday night, late.  Friday she was home with the boys and then when I got home, we had an FRG BBQ that I was heading that we went to.  That was a total success.  Saturday, we had a blast.  Made a trip to Freddy's for lunch, went to dallas' Soccer game, Went to Rockstar and Rogers, The PX, Starbucks,  Made a trip to walmart, BBQ steaks here, painted pumpkins and made caramel apples.  I was overall a lot of fun and the kids really enjoyed as did I. 
    I think I need to start working on my test though for Computers in the Medical office.  I have more to say though, so I will be back tomorrow@!!!!!
