Life Marches On

The boys are all back in school and our life just gets busier. David is now a freshmen and loves marching band - he's a band geek! We are excited for him because of his enthusiasm with band. He "High Steps" it all over the house! The bands half time show this year is to Beatles' music. His band is also one of the area's only dancing bands, very fun to watch!

Noah has entered 7th grade and so far, so good. Luckily, we knew his teachers from when David was in 7th grade and that helps. He is also playing soccer this fall.

Ethan is now a big 3rd grader and has 2 teachers. His class is the only class to have 2 teachers, and they are job sharing. Again, we knew the teacher's from when Noah had them and we love them! He continues on with Tae Kwon Do and is now a senior blue belt. He's learning take downs - watch out big brothers!

I continue to play taxi driver for the boys and enjoy it! I've also been cleaning out my parents house to get ready to sell. It's like being in a time warp sometimes! But, we march on with our lives, trusting God the whole way.

Going to School

Today, I submitted the final paperwork for becoming a sub secretary or sub aide in my local school district. I am hoping to be able to sub a few times a month for the remainder of this year. Then in June, I am taking a big plunge. I am going to get my sub teaching license and apply at my kid's district and a neighboring district.

I had thought about just subbing for elementary, since I don't want to dare try to teach calculus or French. After talking to our principal, she urged me to apply for all grade levels. Apparently, the higher grade levels leave very easy lesson plans for subs called independent work. Sounds good to me.

I hope to bring in some money to help with our budget and be on the same schedule as my kids. Hopefully it will all work out.
