Phew....I am quickly learning the life of a teacher is not at all what one thinks until they become a teacher. Morning are early avid evenings are long but my sweets have been troopers as Jake and I both adjust. There are many times as ikay in bed at night, a student crosses my mind it I try to think if a way to best teach. Jake takes our sweets to school every morning and he and Ginny arrive at his school about an hour before school starts. Each afternoon, the three youngest are brought to me and they patiently wait for us to leave. The girls are great helpers. A couple of weeks ago, we surprised them with a daddy/daughter date to see the Phantom of the Opera. I think they enjoyed it. It was so cute to watch them dress up and eyes full of excitement.
We spend the weekend with Sandra and are spending the rest of the week on home improvements (well mainly Jake). October is probably one of my favorite months of the year, along with April, because the weather is perfect and the leaves are changing. It's an added bonus that we get to decorate for holidays back to back.
