I am now a college student!!

Ok, I am gonna brag a little! Normally, I only brag about my kids but this time I am gonna talk about myself. I am very excited and quite proud of myself, I am going back to school! I am into my second week of an online English class and I am loving it. I am learning new things as well as recalling stuff I learned in high school. After high school I went to Sierra River College, briefly (I think 3 semesters) then I got married and was busy working. Then my motherly time clock started ringing and we decided to start a family. Never thinking I would end up with four children! I've always known I wanted to go back to school, I've always loved school (except mornings were a little rough for me, just ask my mom). So anyhow, I thought I'd share my new adventure with you in hopes that you'd keep me in your prayers. I am a wife, a mother, a teacher(homeschool), a preschool teacher, and a student, and that is just the beginning! What a life!

Thank you Lorna. First I am gonna get my general ed. finished then hopefully be on my way to getting my teaching credentials. Then from there I am undecided. I'll be in school a while. I'm surprised you didn't know since Dawn and Denise Tillmannshofer were my biggest encouragers in this endeavor.

Congratulations! Although I did earn my bachelor's degree before I was married, I still dream of going back to school and getting my teaching credential "someday." I'm proud of you.

Janell, yes I like the pajama thing!!! There are so many pros to taking a class online, I think when I finally have to go to school(I will eventually) I'm not gonna like it very much. My teacher just posted our grades for our first essay assignment and I got 100%!!! YAY! I was so proud of myself. Now I have a little more confidence in what I am doing.

Life in the Real World!

Let me preface everything I am about to say by saying, I have the most wonderful, intelligent, beautiful, talented children ever created! (now I've lost you because your thinking, she's wrong, I do, your right, you do too!) So why is it that they can also be the complete opposite(at times)? Why do I have to tell the same child everyday to not bring a blanket to the table. I tell them "Please get dressed before you come eat." Apparently, it is much easier to wrap oneself in a blanket and then have to fish your hands out to eat! Why does my child who can remember things from infancy(seems that way anyhow) have to be reminded every morning to "Please brush your teeth"? Why does my child, who can't stand for anyone to touch their belongings, think it is ok for them to get into my purse everyday and chew my gum, use my chapstick, and eat any mints that might be left from the previous days' rampage? How is it that my child, who thinks the world is their ca...

"Train up a child"

This is not just a cliche, it is scripture. And it may very well be one of the most used scriptures. On Tuesday night, my boys participated in their very first communion and foot washing service. Some may think they are too young and don't understand the symbolism, and that may be true, but being that they both have the Holy Ghost and have been baptized, I thought it was time for them to take part. I explained to them what would happen and the reasoning behind it. I also asked them to examine their hearts to make sure they were heaven ready. They both seemed to understand and they both expressed desire to follow through. It was all going well until Ashley realized they had something in their hand that she didn't. She asked me what it was, and I told her. Here is how the conversation went.. Ashley: "I want grape juice too!" Me: "Well, honey you are still too young." Ashley: "Why I too young?" Me: "It's for after you get the Holy Ghost and ...
