Goings on

It looks like I will be teaching a new kind of class soon. And it looks like they need new teacher's pretty badly so maybe I won't have to worry about the class not going like it's supposed too. That's a bit disconcerting. You can't really plan for things that way. I understand why it happens, but it's still a bit frustrating.

Everyone has their Halloween costume now. Cedes is going to be a UT Cheerleader, Mason is Batman, and Micah is Robin. For the older girls, they are going to have to figure out things on their own, but they are creative. : )

I have to go through a class to get training for a certification test I need to take by December. It's a pretty big deal and its kind of weighing on my mind. I know I am not smart enough on the material to pass and I don't do enough hands-on work to get smart. I don't do well with learning from a book, but that's really my only option it looks like. Unless I want to pay for training out ofpocket which is my other option and not one I really want to go through.

3 at Once

All 3 little people have grown and we had to get them all new jeans or clothes or BOTH. Darn the luck! I think we are covered for another 5 months though you never know. I am guessing we will be buying Cedes new jeans soon, she's kind of growing, mostly in the tummy though.

We are all doing well. Derek is still not happy with his job, but at least he has a job which is more than a lot of people can say. We (me) are looking for another job for him, preferably something on base. It would be nice to share rides and have the same work schedule. It would make a lot of things easier for us. We will keep trying (and I will keep praying).

I think things are fine for us overall. We are not getting hit by the economy the way some people are. I hope that we survive without too much pain, but I know that things could change at any time. I am very happy that I have a steady job (career). And you know, I still enjoy being inthe Air Force (most days). Having more responsibility is not easy and I gert a lot more headaches, but I think its going OK.

I am not teaching right now. My last classes got cancelled. I think it was due to the economy : ( I am due to start my next set in a few weeks (November). I hope that one works out. I enjoy teaching, and I enjoy having the extra money to do fun stuff!

Can you believe I am working on a third Master's? I am finishing up my 4th class next week. YEA! Only 6 or 7 more to go and I am done. I am going to apply for an AF PhD program next year! I would go to be a teacher after that. Wouldn't that be cool? Plus, it would fulfill one of the things I want to do before I die.

I was thinking about that today. I think it would also be cool to get my pilot's license and fly solo. I would also like to go parasailing and bungee jumping. And I want to go to Disney and I want to take a cruise. Hmm, the list grows as I sit here and think. I'm going to have to start writing it down somewhere.
