Ok, i loved the idea of a blog, but it is HARD to post on a regular basis. those who know me know that it is hard for me to do anything (other than cook, clean, work, teach, drive.....the list goes on) on a regular basis, but i try :).
hmmmmm...lets see, school has started (for ALL of us), and it is going well. for those of you who have concerns about my "well being" in hillbillyville, well...i actually am enjoying it! my class is, lets see....diverse and i am learning about a WHOLE new culture and i haven't even left the country! i love that "rules" per se, don't really exist in hillbillyville. i get to park my tahoe in the "parking lot"(aka a grassy field across from the ag barn) every morning. i just love that there are no "parking lines" that i must stay within. i can park in reverse without hitting a thing(hubby is so PROUD)! the cows, sheep, goats and pigs are always so happy to see me in the morning (no, these are NOT my students, but REAL animals that i get to see and SMELL every single morning). actually it's not too bad...different, weird...but could be worse :).
sam and gabi are LOVING school!! this is such a HUGE change from how they were last year at school. sam asks every night if tomorrow is a school day and says "YES!!!" when i tell him that it is. and gabi, well she just love "ms. rachel" and "ms. donna" her teachers at school. AND, they love her! i mean, they REALLY like her and tell me she is such a sweet and angelic child who is obeidant AND well behaved!!! yup, i told you those people in hillbillyville were a little crazy! just kidding! but, i am so surprized that this is the case at school. gabi is well, GABI at home and just wait till ms. donna and ms. rachel get to know the REAL ms. gabi!
as for little johnny who, by the way is not so little anymore ;), he is learning all about why he should have been more appreciative of his years in strict and structured private schools. public school is so different for him, but i think he is adjusting well. he has joined the cross country team and keeps the same practice schedule as the varsity team even though he is only a 7th grader. his mile run is improving each week, which is apparently a BIG deal (what do i know anyway). he ran in his first meet last week and did very well. we are so proud of him because he continues to keep all A's in his classes and continues to be able to brainwash his teaches into thinking he is pope john paul. let's see how long that lasts :) but, really we are very proud of him and the positive choices he continues to make each day. about a week ago, he was offered/asked to buy drugs from another student. i must say, he handled himself, the situation and the days that followed very well. he now understands that he needs to work hard so he can get in to central catholic for high school and back into an environment where he is not faced with these issues.
