First things first...
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday, dear Jared,
A very Happy Birthday to you!
It's a 2007 Suzuki V Strom, and he is so pleased with it, and having so much fun!
Then there's Katie.
She's getting so big and so beautiful! She's 10 and a half months old, and crawling and climbing everywhere. She babbles all the time, and always likes to be the center of attention. She's a terrible flirt, but it seems to work for her.
And clapping! She loves music, clapping, bouncing with the music. I think she'd watch the Wiggles all day long. She also loves going for long walks with her daddy, either in the backpack carrier or in the stroller. She's so much fun!
I've been working a lot. I, for whatever reason, decided to take on an extra class this year, so I have 6 classes with no prep period. It's hard. I feel like I'm not a very good teacher this year, because I'm spending so much of my day trying to stay ahead of the game. It doesn't help that I currently have 31 overload a day, on top of all that. Plus, I got elected to site council (yay, me) and am on the CAC committee with Keith. Oh, and am still junior TRIBE facilitator. What is wrong with me?
The good thing is that my classes are awesome. I LOVE the Anatomy class, and my sophomores aren't bad either. I have a lot of really nice kids. And the knitting club is giving me the energy to get through the day. It's so fun to see these kids come in, so excited to show me what they worked on the night before. There are good kids, there are good kids... Now if I could just get some sleep!
