Hoping for a better November.

I am loving the colors outside.

Yesterday, I had to go to the big school and talk to my advisor about my schedule for next semester. I got to choose which block of classes I want to take.I am going to do my Reading/Literacy block. It is exciting because I get to do a practicum for five weeks - Monday thru Friday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.

I think it is exciting until I remember that I also work full time and that I can't be two places at once.

How is this going to work out? Who knows?

I am also going to do an Intersession. I will start another semester on May 10th and it will last for two weeks, with a start time of 8 a.m. in a classroom until 12:30. Then, at 2:30 I will be at Tech in class from 2:30 to 8:30 p.m. If I do this for two weeks and four additional Saturday's - I will finish ONE WHOLE SEMESTER. Just like that.

Except I work full time.

Anyways, I learned years ago not to base my life on my job. We are all disposable. I have to get outta school. I need to start teaching and get a schedule that is regualar while Emma and Tripp are still small. I also want to graduate college before Eli. That is my main objective :)

I will say that the past four weeks (give or take a couple of days) has SUCKED. My mother in law tells me that God is allowing me to be tested. It is not really the amount of school work that I have, or the kids, or Dave - I have a GREAT balance with homework, housework, playtime and Davetime. It is other factors that happen when you deal with the public.

I wish some people had shut off valves like gas pumps - when their mouths start to lie or spew unkindness, a switch kicks in and they are instantly no longer able to speak.

Anyways, please pray for me and Dave and our little family - I know that God has a solution for me. Usually, when I have situations that I am faced with, I learn a great lesson from them.

I am waiting on my lesson.
