Last Day

Today is my Last Day of class! I've learned so much this semester about teaching language arts, especially the writing component. This time, I retained so much more about doing literature groups. I'm planning to incorporate them into my classroom this term with my first graders. I'm also planning to do a lot of fiction writing as suggested from the book from my literature circle, Making Believe on Paper by Ted DeMille. I think using the both of these strategies will enhance my students' writing.

I Made It!

It's all most over. This is our last week of class and there has been some times that i just didn't see myself making. That's to supportive people around including my professors, I made it. Just the other day, I asked the Lord not to just let me see my way through but to actually take me through because I just felt that weary. As I reflect today, I think my lesson has been to just let him take me through. So I'm going to remember this in my heart. I'm asking God to grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. It's been great!

Still No News

We still haven't gotten the results back from the MRI and I'm going to call the Dr. tomorrow morning. I have been up at the school since 5:30pm today because my internet is still not working properly and I needed to get my work completed. Tomorrow my group is chatting again so I'll be back. Until then...

The BIG Day!

Today the baby went for his MRI and everything went well. He is definitely a fighter and relentless (like his MAMA). He's 16 mos. and it took 4 adults to hold him down to get his IV. I told the staff that he works out because he does chin ups using my bar when he's trying to reach something up there (lol). When the Dr. gave him his 2 medicines for sedation, the first dose did not work. They thought he was sleep and tried to slide him into the chamber, he started kicking and moaning for us to get so they had to give him just a little more. We should know the results over the next day or two so until then we're just waiting and still believing.

Very Nervous

Tomorrow is the big day. My husband and I are taking the baby to have a MRI at the hospital and they're going to have to put him to sleep. I'm praying that everything goes well with the sedation and procedure. My group is suppose to chat tomorrow so I hope he feels good afterwards so that I can find a computer to participate. We're trusting and believing that everything is going to be fine.

No Internet Service

The past two weeks have been very frustrating for me. On top of everything else that's going on, my internet service is not working properly and I am having to drive all over town to get my work completed. With the boys, I can't go to the computer lab and I have to wait until my husband gets home at night. Tonight, I finally thought about coming on campus with my laptop and I didn't know the library closes too at 10pm. So I tried to use the laptop in the car and it went dead after about 20mins. So finally I drove to the Subway and a campus police drove up and I asked him where would be a safe place on campus for me to plug in and the only place was the police department on campus. Thank God for the Police! There are some good ones still out there.

A Break

Today, I went to church by MYSELF. It was a much needed break. With the baby constantly whining and DJ fighting for constant attention, and on top of that, my husband has been working long hours (so no help there), I thought I was going to lose my mind at one point. I take back every thought I have ever had about being a stay at home Mom. I see why rich people hire a live-in nanny. It's worth the money. The baby's fever broke this evening so he should be a happier child tomorrow. Thank God it did because if not, I was going to have to head back to the doctor's office.
