| FYI: This past week I finally received my Michigan Teaching License!!! Isn't that exciting? I feel so accomplished having both MI and OH teaching licenses. Too bad I don't have a teaching job to go with them!!!! Maybe someday. Until then, I guess I just have to stick with my school age before and after school child care program. Tomorrow afternoon my kids have their Halloween parties in their classrooms. Too bad I will be on my way to DN's show in OH and will miss their sugar highs and excitement.  I hope they behave for the sub. Phil pulled me off the couch today and gave me a terrible rug burn on my arm. It hurts very badly. Poor me. But then he brought me out to get some Papa John's. That is good stuff. Pete, Ryan, Noah, and Alex came over tonight so we could go to a haunted house and carve pumpkins. Guess what we did? We walked around Walmart and Meijer and then came back here and flipped channels on the TV. Oh well, it was entertaining looking for pumpkin carving knives. It was nice of them to come hang out. And I wasn't ignoring you guys when you said goodbye, I was just washing my face and brushing my teeth. Ok, 4:45 AM will be here much too soon and it is WAY past my bedtime. Sweet dreams world.  | ||||||||||||

| So, summary of my deleted Xanga entry and current happenings. Monday, 12 hour day with over 70 different little people to interact with. 39 new messages on my answering machine at work- 35 of them hangs up every 10 minutes during my out of office hours, more than likely from the angry parent who left 3 messages trying to get ahold of me. (Don't worry, since then she has decided to bring her children to a different childcare facility- it's sad, but I'm not complaining.) Then I came home and had a terrible time making dinner while fighting with the frozen rice that ended up ALL OVER THE STINKIN KITCHEN while my whole body was hurting since I was so tired and emotionally exhausted. Needless to say, I was very ready for bed after I was finished eating my dinner. I will now be very cautious when considering accepting any substitute teaching jobs. I have already turned down one since then.  Yesterday after AM work, I enjoyed myself by straightening up the apartment, doing the dishes, and finally getting to my laundry. Phil and I also made cinnamon roles! Yum! Then Kimmy, Carrie, and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings and were thrilled to be reminded that Tuesday's special is the $0.35 wings! Good stuff! Today was another long day at work. Half days of school typically mean a long day for me because we are open during the entire afternoon as well as our regular hours. So after my morning shift, I came home and took a quick nap before heading back to work for the afternoon. It was so nice though today because I only had 3 kids! We played outside, watched Toy Story, and made pumpkins out of construction paper to decorate the room. We had a good time. Now I am sitting in the apartment all alone since Phil is in Kalamazoo practicing with the band for the show this weekend and in preparation for recording which starts next weekend. What an exciting time for these guys. Ok, almost time for bed, so I should probably find some dinner real quick and sign off of here. Sweet dreams world!

| I just spent the past half hour or so writing a stinkin long xanga entry about my day and I clicked submit and it told me there was an error. Deleted... Gone.. Hmmmm.... That adds to the joy of my stinkin long 12 hour day at work... You can make up your own story about my day and maybe eventually I will find the motivation to write it all out again some time. Sweet dreams world. | |

| Yesterday I got to hang out with my sister! Phil and I went to Kalamazoo so DN could practice. Though they are in the basement, pretty much anywhere in the house is LOUD when they are practicing, so Kim and I went to see Ladder 49. It was sooo good! Very emotional and somewhat eye opening as well. (People were sniffing and wiping their eyes all throughout the theatre.) Anyway, it was great to spend some time with Kimmy. She is coming up on Tuesday, so I look forward to having lunch with her and Carrie. I love my little sister. Church was very powerful this morning. Pastor spoke about the battle of Biblical authority and "society's" view on the matter of homosexuality which is blatently against Scripture. Scripture is efficient and authoritative and calls sin what it is- sin!! I am so thankful for Christ's forgiveness and that we can be freed from the bondage of sin! In Sunday School we have begun our series on Developing a Distinctive Christian home. I am excited to see where this Sunday School class goes as we continue to get to know each other better and grow in our relationships with Christ and our spouses. I'm really looking forward to our Sunday School Harvest Party this weekend. That should be a great time. Tomorrow I am subbing in a 5th grade classroom at my school. I am excited about this, though I am also somewhat nervous as this is new grounds for me. Plus it is going to be a VERY LONG day in that school. Childcare 6:15 AM until school starts, sub through school, and then childcare until 6:00 PM. I know I will make it through, but I will most certainly be looking forward to getting into bed when I get home from work. I sure do love sleeping! Anyway, I think it is time for lunch and then a refreshing Sunday afternoon nap. Or maybe I'll just skip lunch and take a nap! Good 'night' world! | ||||||||||

Hello World!
| So, I decided to become one of you. Not because I have fallen into the peer pressure of wanting to be cool so I got my own Xanga site, but because it is such an easy way to 'cheat' at communicating and staying up to date with friends from all over the world! In one easy entry, anybody can read the latest about what is going on in my life and with one easy click of a button, I can comment on the latest in the lives of my friends! No phone calls required, no mass e mails, and no snail mail! What could be easier? So please, enjoy reading my random updates. I don't know how consistent I will be, but I will do my best to make my updates entertaining for those of you that will find my page! For my first story- the entertaining part of working with 4 year olds. I was subbing in a preschool classroom last week and was talking about "my friends" (the students in the classroom) to which one of the kids looked at me and said, "They are not your friends, they are mine!" I asked him if they could be my friends also and he explained to me that this was not my classroom so they couldn't be. I told him that it sure was my class for the day and asked if they could be my friends for the day, too? He just smiled at me and nodded his head. I just laughed and entertained myself by wondering what goes on in the thought process of a 4 year old little boy. :) Such fun! I love leaving work feeling good about the day. | |

the only time I communicate with people from the past, but people should take what they can get...eh?
Keep beating those four year olds...
