Brain Dump

I'm taking a class right now with one of the most unorganized teachers I've ever had. She's taught preschool longer than I've been alive. But this is her first time teaching this course. We have to observe 6-8 year olds. We just submitted our papers on our observations of 3-4 year olds and last week she didn't tell us what school to go to. So this week we asked and she said, "You haven't found a school yet? Typically you find your own school to go to!". So while on our break (It's a long class that meets once a week) the class got into a discussion about it and no one knew we were supposed to find our own school to observe. Our teacher, after further probing, finally said we were to call the principle and it was up to them what grade we would observe. Sigh. I have a week to complete this plus a project she just assigned last night. This course shouldn't be hard. It's Human Development 2. Not hard! But she is making it difficult. I'm very discouraged. I was finally feeling like I was on the downward slide for this semester and now I'm stressed with the amount of work due next week.

Next semester isn't going to be better. Going to school full time while having children is very difficult. If you're thinking about doing it, don't! You sacrifice much more than you know. I still have 5 or 6 semesters left if I stay full time. Next semester is going to be insaine! I'm going to be pretty pregnant and I'm taking a killer semester. Full time again. But after next semester I'll probably have to go back to part time because of the baby ;).

Ok enough about the vent, I'm sorry just to dump that all out there. It's still fresh on my mind from last night's class!

I'm going to go now and start getting ready for the day, It's already 7:30 and I'm still in bed!! Haha! I hope you all have a blessed day!

Praise Him Monday!

I have come to a point in my life where I am trying to give all of the glory to God. Because it's all his anyway! I have been living my life "my" way for so long, and over the past two years I've really learned a lot about God and my savior Jesus Christ and I've really built a solid relationship with them. But I still have trouble giving all of the glory to God. It's so easy for there to be an accomplishment in my life and accept the praise for it. When in actuality, I am nothing without God. None of us are. We can't do a thing without him. And everything we do, everything we have and everything we accomplish is because of him. Cool Huh?

So every Monday I am going to try to sit down and give the Glory from the previous week back to God. And I encourage you to do it with me. If you do it on your own blog, please leave me a comment so I make sure I praise with you! And if you want to just comment here, please feel free to do so! You know I love comments!

Dear God,

I thank you for giving me life, and giving my mother the strength and wisdom to raise me. I thank-you for my father and his guidance. Thank-you for my children, my husband, my friends, my family, and my foes. Please help me do your work, please shine through me.

God, this past week, I was able to complete a project for my parenting class. Thank-you for the strength. I was also able to drive my family safely to Knoxville for the weekend, thank-you for the guidance. Last night, I was able to finally restore some order to my home, thank-you for the strength. I registered for a tough semester next semester, thank you for the guidance to know that even though it's going to be tough, I can push through! Most importantly I am finally getting over some of the fatigue and morning sickness, thank-you for this pregnancy, this baby!

God, this week I ask that you please help me continue to keep things orderly in my home. Please help me get things further uncluttered and organized. Also, please help me attentive during my courses. Please show me that I have the time to just play with my children, and enjoy them. Please give me the stomach to cook dinner this week!

In Jesus' name I pray,

AMEN

10 weeks pregnant

Well we are double digits!! It is very exciting but sad at the same time, since this is our last!! It seems like it is just flying by!

I'm feeling great! I've been pretty sick and have actually lost about 3 pounds. I had a great day yesterday, so I'm hoping that this is the beginning of the end for my morning sickness and fatigue! I already look like I'm pregnant. I took a picture and will post it later.....it's sad to have a tummy already, Oh well!! I should have another appointment with my midwifes soon, and I'm excited, I love them and feel like I haven't seen my good friends in over a month!

I found out on Monday that I am immune to 5th disease! Praise God! Turns out, Izzy had it last week though. So I was defiantly exposed! But because I'm immune, this baby is perfectly fine! Praise God!

Both of the girls are doing really well and so is Justin, he's just working a TON!! We are going to Knoxville this weekend to visit with family and watch U.T. play with Philip Fulmer as their head coach one last time! I will be so sad!! He's been there for my entire "Loving U.T. Football" Career, I think!! He's the only coach I know!

Ok I have to go start getting ready for the day! I have class tonight and I teach all day! I haven't seen my kids at school since LAST Tuesday and I miss them a ton!! We have a big project due in my Parenting class. Please say a little prayer for us today, that we do well, and have it all together! THANKS!

~Blessings~
