The best suprise and a great book

On Saturday I was home for the day to have my dad put breaks on my car. I was planning on staying so that I could have some home cooking and spend some time with my grandparents. We were sitting waiting for dinner to get done and my grandfather said "There is a car with Delaware plates." I was trying to figure out what he ment by that, so my mom and I look out the window and sure enough there was a van pulling up in front of the house next door. Then to our suprise one of my aunts for Delaware was getting out of the van. I couldn't believe that my three great-aunts and great-uncle were here at my parents house. It was great that they were here. I know that the really came to see how my grandfather was since he got really sick.

I have some news about my grandfather he is still having some back pain and it is making him crabby. He goes on Monday to have his MRI to see what is going on with his back. I am really worried and my grandmother is so worried. I know that there will be something found but I don't think that it is really as bad as we are all fearing. I am putting my faith in God that he will take care of him and give him peace. I also wish that for my grandmother so that she doesn't worry so much.

School is crazy busy, well not really. I am not really all that happy in my placement so it is hard to be happy about going to school everyday. I have a ton of time to plan what little lessons I do plan and I can get my projects done as well. Tomorrow is the Halloween party and fun stuff so that should be fun. Only 6 weeks left at this placement and then some time off for the holidays.

So now to this great book. I have just finished "Twilight" and it is a great book. I have spent three days this week doing nothing but read. I am fighting the urge to run and get the next book in the series. Everyone said that it was good but really I couldn't put it down. It's not to late to run to Target and get the next one. The teachers at the school I'm at are always taking about it and have asked me to go to the movie with them when it opens. I'm not sure that I will but the book so far is amazing.

Well, I'll leave it at that and will try to post more often.

I wish I could post more often

Man I can't believe that I have let so many days go by and have not posted anything. I guess that just goes to show how very busy I am. I just started a new placement and I am having a hard time adjusting to the new setting. My CT (cooperating teacher) and I could not be more different. I try to keep in mind that I am there for the students and can learn from them. I guess this is just going to be one of those growing pains.

So last night I got an awesome surprise. Well I guess not only myself. Three of my aunts and my uncle from Delaware came into town last night. I had not idea that they were coming. They are really here to see about my grandfather. They had not seen him since he got so sick in May. He is having a lot of back pain and the doctors are not sure why. When he was first diagnosed there was a spot on his back that they thought could be a problem. He is going in for an MRI soon so hopefully they will find something or I should say that they don't find anything. I am really worried and my grandmother is very upset. I know this is really hard on her because he is in so much pain that it is making him cantankerous. It is like seeing my great-grandmother all over.
Speaking of her I am totally engrossed in the world series. Her favorite team was the Phillies and I am holding up the tradition of watching them like she would be. However, she enjoyed watching the games with the mute on. I watch it with sound, I just can't get used to watching the game without sound.
So there is a little update with me. No news on the guy front not that I would have time to see a guy right now. However, meeting someone new would be kinda nice. Oh well, I guess there is plenty of time for me to meet a nice guy. I am just not sure where I am supposed to find any.

WOW!! has it really been over a month.

How time flies. I am sitting here thinking that I need to check my blog and low and behold it has been a month since I posted last. Let me just tell you this is really the first time that I have had to sit and relax. I decided that it would be a good time to catch every one up on what is going on.

SCHOOL: it is busy. I am up early and off to school, I then teach all day. Once I am done teaching I come home and start working on the projects, lesson plans and the many other things that we have to complete for this semester. It is so much that there are at least two people that I know that have had to leave the program. Let me just say that it is stressful. I have no life. However, I can't imagine doing anything else with my life.

DATING: is not happening. Like I said my life is sooo busy with school that meeting or even dating guys is impossible. They just don't understand that when I say I have a ton to do it means I have a TON to do. SO for now I am married to my computer. I am not worried though I have plenty of time and really I enjoy not having to share my space with anyone but my cat Finn.

MY GRANDFATHER: is doing well. He is taking his second round of chemo by mouth. His doctor has said that he would like to bring his IGG levels down slowly. He is back in his shop working on building somethings. He was in the process of making a mirror when he got sick. Well he has finished it and it is so pretty. He, my grandmother, and parents came up one Sunday and he put it on my dresser. I will try and post some pictures of it soon.

I think I will leave it there for now. I am watching the NASCAR race and just want to veg out on the couch. It is nice to have a night of freedom. I have one project due on Thursday and am almost done. I will work more on it later. I would like to have it completed by tomorrow evening so that I can spend the last week with my kids stress free.
