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!
