It Happened.

You know what can really make your day? A raise? A hug? A clean bathroom that you didn't have to clean? A pedicure? Yes, all those things are great. Today however, it's pulling up your grades and seeing five "A's" in the column. That's right - I worked my tail off so I'm going to brag on myself...... I got a 4.0! 15 credit hours, working full time and a 50 mile commute on top of it all and I pulled it off. I have to say, it really made my day.

Thanks to everyone for their support, for not being mad at me when I can't call/see/e-mail you for weeks on end because I am holed up doing homework, driving my car or hanging out at the Willey.

One more semester everyone. One more semester and I am a college graduate.

Way to go, Sherry. The only 4.0 I ever pulled was the semester I was engaged. Go figure. What are you studying?

What I don't have a lot of. Major life changes have taken place in the last several months. First and foremost - I am now teaching at Syracuse High. I was offered a job on the spot to teach special ed math the day after school had already started back in August. It all happened pretty fast that I didn't really think about it, I just accepted. I went to work on a Tuesday, let them know I had just accepted a teaching job and was teaching school on Friday. So...... I am now teaching special ed math, going to to school on Monday and Wednesday nights to get a special ed endorsement so I can legally TEACH special ed, working at the Willey on Tuesday and Thursday nights, doing homework, driving A LOT, and trying to make sure friends and family don't think I've fallen off the face of the earth. It's all good. Difficult and tiring but, good. So much for thinking my life would get less busy and easier once I graduated. I wanted to do other things. I thought this was the...

Gotta Start Somewhere.....

Alright, I thought I better get on board with this whole blog thing. Everyone has these great blogs that I read all the time. It's a great way to keep in touch. The thing is, everyone I know that has a blog posts all of these fantastic things about their families, children, etc. Well, I thought, why can't a single girl have a blog? I have "kids". Fourteen nieces and nephews that you'll see plenty of photo's of. So, this is officially my first post. Also, according to my friend Joanna, they need to be timely as well. I'll work on that. I spent the afternoon at Lagoon with my sister and her family. It was finally a beautiful Saturday instead of rain/snow. It was great fun. Their youngest is just the cutest thing ever, as you can see. Wish me luck with this. :)

Lightbulb Moment

Today, I realized something ---- I'm a busy girl. Work a 45+ hour a week job. I am a student and spend six hours sitting in class per week. I also work a second job, where I spend about 6 - 10 hours per week. Some days I am gone from my home for 14 hours. This however, is not the revelation. I hope we've all previously established that I'm not that dense. :) It doesn't matter how much homework I have to complete or how much homework I have to grade or if I'm home by 3:30 or if I don't get home until 8:30. Everything that I do, every place I have to be, every hour I have to spend away from home, I am glad and grateful to be there. I love being a teacher. I enjoy spending time working at RCW. I am grateful for the opportunity to go to school, which allows me to be a teacher now, and not later. I love spending any spare time I have with my family and friends, especially my nieces and nephews. (I am really great at pretending to be Bumblebee to three-year ...
