And 10 Days Later...

What in the world?!? It's already half way through September and I have only posted a few times. Oh well! DeWayne asked me about posting Thursday and I told him I didn't think I had anything relevant to share. His response: "That's what random is. It doesn't have to be exciting or relevant." Thanks DeWayne. You motivated to post some more nothingness. :D

School is going so well. I really like my schedule. There are some days, Thursday in particular, that I feel like I don't work at all. I don't know if it is the schedule or the children. It feels easy! I love it. I REALLY like my job. (Have I said that before? Oh yeah, You'll hear it ALOT) I have only a few children that push the limits in the lab. Most of them really want to be there and participate so they follow the rules so they can stay in their seats. With the short day schedule and Labor Day, this past Monday was the first time I had seen one Kindergarten classs. I always start them on the carpet talking about the rules, about computers in their homes, and just an overview of the computer parts. I also read a book called Arthur's Computer Disaster. After reading it 8 times, I was ready to put it away until next year.

Today is International "Talk Like a Pirate Day". ARGH!!! For the last 2 years it has fallen during the week and so the 1st graders have heard a pirated story and drawn pirates ships in Kidpix. This year since it fell on a Saturday, I didn't celebrate it. My nephew is having a pirate themed birthday party. I can't wait. I love the pirate stuff. Dane always wanted to be a pirate when he was little. I dug out his little costume that my grandma made him when he was 4. (I had forgotten how little he was.)

DeWayne and I went to a Freshman football game Thursday evening to watch the boys play. They beat Massac County pretty badly. That was also the night that the little cheerleaders from my school performed. So about 100 little girls were waving a screaming at their parents and "Mrs. Whitlock". Evan always participated in the cheerleader clinics when she was little. They take it so seriously and try so hard. The highschool cheerleaders did a good job with them. It was very cute.

Last night DeWayne and I went to Evansville to eat with Evan and go to a UE soccer game. Her room mate ate with us. She is very nice. I like her. She is from Uganda and has a British accent (sort of). UE won 1-0. It is a tournament and the teams were very physical. (It made it a good game. :D)

The wedding plans are coming along. I have to plan the rehearsal dinner and get all the details worked out for it. (It's my baby) I need to sit down with my "Committee" and figure out what I am doing. I have some ideas of what I want. I need a working plan. It's time to start making a notes and getting it together. Two months and 9 days. Not very long!

9-9-9

What a fun date to type or write. I love this new century where we can have these fun months for several years (until 12-12-12).:D

I haven't posted in a LONG time. Sorry about that. Sometimes I feel like I have talked out when I get home. I do a lot of talking in the computer lab this time of year. Going over the rules, talking about the computer and just giving a lot of instructions. There have been other days this school year that I really don't have anything life shattering to share.

There are just over 2 months left until the wedding. Lots of plans coming together!

This past weekend was LCC's Liberty Fest. For the last 3 years I have worked the lemon shake-up stand. This year I chose to "jump ship" and help in the donut making tent. My Book club BFF's were all there (well, almost all of them). We cut, fried, and coated about 10,000 donuts. WOW!!! DeWayne helped fry the donuts and Evan came home for Saturday and helped glaze them. We have very good time. The crowd was pretty large both days. It rained off and on all day Saturday. And Sunday morning started out with flash floods and thunderstorms but it cleared up by 3 or so. Good times!

I promise not to take so long to post again.
