Updates... Bullet Style!

Here are some things that are going on with our family:

• Getting my school comments outta the way: I have a final tonight. My last - and only - one. While I did have presentations due, this is my only formal final. After this, I am going to start intersession on Monday. I am just going to a local school and doing 5th grade math. I am thankful for a certain friend who loves math. I do not. I am also thankful for field trips. :)
• May is a busy month. While we have "extras" happening, we also have Eli's 8th grade graduation, Daisy's high school graduation and Tripp's Pre-K graduation.
• Daisy's prom this Saturday :) (Daisy is the newest member of our family - She is a gorgeous 18 year old high school senior) I am thrilled to get to have her hair done on Saturday. My sweet Mother in Law took her and got jewelery and shoes. Indeed, the prom is a fairy tale... even when you are not the one attending. It is wonderful to watch her glow at the thoughts of prom...
• Emma is excited about moving up to first grade. She is so bubbly right now... softball season is here and she is doing well. The fact that she "gets sweaty" is not holding her back.
• Tripper, on the other hand, is not liking t-ball. At all. We know this was a mistake. It is going to be a long season.
• Eli had his last "middle-school" soccer game last night. He has a playoff game on Thursday. I was going to take pictures... but my batteries died in my camera.

I will do a picture post soon. I promise.

End of semester. A Bullet List.

Because I have random thoughts and I don't have the time or energy to find and create transition thoughts to get it all together, today's post will be in bullet format.

Here goes.

• I did a paper yesterday over an observation of a child. It ended up being about 8,000 words and 17 pages. Not kidding.
• I was only on page 4 at 12 p.m. I finished at 5:30 p.m.
• See why my mind hurts.
• Emma is singing to Tripp "Jingle Bells, Tripper smells." Tripp is crying.
• On Thursday, I have a Geology Lab Quiz at 10, a lecture test at 11, an education final at Tech at 4 and Christmas for Kids shopping at 6.
• It snowed today.
• Today is my nephew Ethan's birthday. He is three. Happy Birthday Ethan!
• I have mounds of laundry on my bed that needs to be folded. I am thankful that it is in a central location and it is clean.
• My last test of the semester is at 10:30 on December 15.
• Only ten days to go.
• I keep buying random Christmas presents for my children. I have no idea what is in the closet. It stems from mother guilt. I don't even own wrapping paper yet.
• I have to go study now so that I can list the Geologic Times Scale on Thursday.
