I got a new job

Hello everyone! I haven't posted in a long while, but I'm back. I mostly haven't posted because I've been really busy with my job, but because of that- I quit, and I've got a new and exciting career as a nanny! I'm pretty excited about the prospect of being responsible for just one child instead of 15. I'll be working on not complicating my life too much, taking some time to sit back and chill, and then applying to grad school. Anyway, I'm happy about the transition- just wanted to give everyone a little update on myself. So there.

We're moving-

We are moving- Reeve moved a lot of stuff today while I was at work at Mtn. View Nissan, and then we packed some more stuff tonight. All the big stuff is going to the new house tomorrow with a little help from my friends. Anyway, I thought it proper to have one last photo upload from the couch at the Birdhouse. So here goes....
Also- here are some pics of a reeve hair cut:

What's new...

My job was good last week- and so far this week. I got a new student, so I now have 14 children enrolled in my class, but they don't all come on the same day. My Tuesdays and Thursdays are pretty crazy though b/c I have 10 on those days. Anyway, I took a video of me playing one of my favorite songs. It's by The Mountain Goats, and it's called Alpha Rats Nest. It's good- I mean the original. Anyway...

october

Hello friends,
It has been a long busy time since I last posted. I've been working as a teacher for Siskin School for 90 days now (I only know because my 90 day evaluation is coming up), and I must say it is WAY WAY WAY harder than I thought it would be. This job is hard physically, emotionally and even spiritually. Holy mess. That's all I'm allowed to say because of confidentiality laws, but let me reiterate: Holy Mess.

I got new hair

Reeve comes home today! Plus: I got new hair....

Downer

I'm about to go to bed before a pretty hard day at school. My Tuesdays and Thursdays are chaotic these days...but that'll be okay. Reeve is in Waco, TX for a visit to his parents, as well as Ethan Durell's last show ever. Also, my neighbor died yesterday morning. It's pretty sad...and I didn't even know him that well- he was just sort of constant- ya know? He sat outside on his steps every evening and blasted old blues and the eagles music- and always yelled "hello" to me...Reeve would get a, "How ya doin' Mr. Reeves?!" Anyway, I just don't think it's fair. And that's all

First days with children

Well, I have just completed my second day with children in my classroom at Siskin Early Learning Center, and I just think it's totally cool and gross and entertaining and awesome and a new level of disgusting all the time. I like it. That is all.
