Some words

Alright, so I posted some pics (goodness knows I haven't had time to take very many this week) and now I will write a little. Back to school is going well. I am back into the routine, but the girls have been a bit more tired that normal at night since they have to get up earlier with me in the morning now. I am liking my new job so far although it is sooooo different from being in the classroom. Thursday (the first day of school) came and no one came to MY classroom which was way weird! Also on the first day of school, a teacher rarely gets to sit down to much of a lunch, but I had plenty of time to do so. I actually spent the first 2 days preparing things and scheduling. Next week and the week after, I will be testing students at different schools in the district along with 15 other reading specialists. I think I will be reciting The Carrot Seed in my sleep and NOT liking it one little bit. I think that in about 3 weeks, I will be into a routine at school that includes working with children consistently and that will be awesome!

At home, I am feeling behind at everything right now because, of course, I am home so much less and don't have a daily nap time to catch up. Thank goodness for a cleaning person every 2 weeks to take that load off, but that still leaving plenty to keep up with. The house just feels cluttered messy and I don't know where to start with getting it in order, so what am I doing? Writing this post! :-)

The rain has FINALLY stopped here and maybe the lake at our back door can begin to dry up now. Oh yeah, and the one in our front yard too! Fortunately, we didn't have water in the basement this time.

I need to go and get something (anything) done around here before the girls wake up and Nate gets home.
