Well life has been crazy busy! Now that Tillman has been walking we have been on the go! I can't even think back to when I posted last in order to catch you up but here is what has been going on.
Tillman has been sick a lot this month. I think it has to do with me being back at school and bringing all those nasty germs home. Matt's mom has been up a lot to help out and I fee like I haven' been at school a full week since we started.
Life in second grade is crazy busy! Learning a new grade level is hard and being a perfectionist I want to do everything right and not let anyone down and it seems that I am wearing myself down and spreading myself to thin. Hopefully I will get myself organized so I can be great at everything!
I have started a scrapbook club and I love it but I can't seem to find a place or time to work on anything scrapbooking related. You have to purchase things each month so I have the materials but keep piling things in my closet. I hope to get the things organized so I can actually do something with the million pictures I have. I would love to make cards that are personal to give to people instead of buying cards. We will see!
Fall is here and I am so excited! I love the cooler weather mainly because I sweat like a man on a hundred degree day! My second graders aren't sure what to say when I wear a shirt where my pit stains are all over the place. Luckily my new classroom has an air unit that I can adjust so I can make sure the room is cool.
I am now a screenr for DonorsChoose.org and I am super excited to be working for them. I read proposals and make sure they fit the criteria and then either send them back or approve them. It is interesting to read all the proposals from all over the country. There are some really needy schools.
My next post is going to be on education reform because of the movie Waiting for Superman has created a buzz and my soap box is getting a little dusty.
Tillman is so fricken cute these days! I get why people get all gushy around their kids! I do have to say he is one smart fella! He is saying all kids of words. I know I know I am his momma so the words he says make no sense to others but to me I think it is amazing! He is an ELMO freak! We have some videos and a limbo, tickle me, hokey poky, and hug me Elmo all given to us from friends and the kid is obsessed!
He is also in love with the Jesus Loves Me book. I has a button where it sings the song and he will hit it over and over and over again. When he gets really fussy or I want him to calm down I will start to sing that song and his whole body will loosen up and calm down.
Well for now this is all. I am sure I left things out but Tillman is trying to get into Matt's office while Matt is working and so I have to go get him out!
