Lucky 13

So only because we have 13 days of school left. I'm ready to be off for several days in a row and not think about what is going on in my classroom. Sad thing is that we only have 13 days of school and I'm still looking for an elementary position. There aren't many in the area, so I'll probably be back at middle school next year. Don't get me wrong - I love teaching middle school - I just would like to stop teaching that extra hour or two every single day afterschool and doing activities on the weekends. I'd like to spend the weekends with my own three kids and their activities. OK - no more complaints. I've only been praying for the right job at the right time and I'm sure everything else will take care of its self.

Shelby had her birthday party this weekend (only 9 days after her b-day) and it was a hit. We did a pj party at a local bounce house place. Lots of fun and the kids were already in their pjs when we got home, so it was right to bed. :) Sebastian was a hit with all of the moms - most of them are done haveing kids and they don't have any babies in the family, so he was passed around the entire party. I'll post some photos of him in the next couple of days.

Things around here are going well. Mom is staying busy with activities and seems to be doing well. I check in with her every couple of days and know that Dan is checking in too. She'll be up to help us next weekend. Sean and I are going to work in the yard and she's going to babysit. She's also bring the truck so we can get dirt and grass for the yard. I know it's hard - I still have moments that make me cry, but she's doing well. We're lucky to have faith and knowledge that there is a better place when we leave this world.
