Well, let's see.. B finally made it back to Afghanistan. His sleep pattern is totally off and he is having trouble sleeping. It really stinks, but hopefully he will get back on track soon. I am trying to get back on my own schedule. I am worn out.. Kinda in my own little funk. Have you ever just been like, what am I doing... I am really questioning my job right now... Something just doesn't feel right and I don't know what... I think I am in a funky mood, but I might be ready to go back to public schools. I miss the "real" teaching... seeing a light go on in their eyes, or exciting a kid about learning, doing fun projects and really being involved with your students...(to all your perverts, I do not mean involved in any inappropriate ways!) I just miss "knowing" my kiddos... I do think it is important for the kids I teach to have a good rapport, or a positive classroom experience, but I get most of them for 7 or 8 days at a time... and it is against the rules to have any contact once they leave (and you don't generally want to...) so it isn't the same... Like I said I am in a funk and I know everything happens for a reason... so we will see what happens next year. I am fixing to start my 2 classes this week... Fun Fun, Teaching kids with emotional disorders and mild disabilities... Maybe I want to teach younger children...Wow, I can't believe I just said that...
Gage is having to getback in his own little schedule. Luke is busy with baseball and basketball... he is trying out for baseball and basketball is in the final weeks... we finish in feb...
I am ready for spring break... isn't that sad...
I hope everyone is having a great year... sorry I am venting about my funky mood... JB

Today is my birthday and my boys did good. B made me a cake... I got a new camera and book from the boys. Shanna got me a new wallet... we are fixing to go on a date to see twilight. It is kinda bitter sweet because B leaves tomorrow. :(

Oh well, keep me in your thoughts, I will prolly sleep all day afer he leaves... Love and peace J

PS Luke has a nice black eye... Didn't realize that bball was such a contact sport...

Happy New Year! B and I went to Hot Springs and had a good time.... checked on Stef and saw her and the kiddos... picked up Luker and then headed home. Today is a day of rest.. we have been going going going... I hope everyone had a SAFE new year. Best wishes for 2009.JB
