I have been working full-time as a substitute teacher at the local school. I am teaching 3rd grade. For part of the day I am Sweet Pea's teacher. Sometimes that is good. Sometimes that is not. She would rather have me be her mom than her teacher. So, in a couple of weeks, she won't be in my class anymore since we rotate every quarter. I have enjoying being "thrown into the fire" to learn so much at once, but it can be very stressful sometimes! The requirements of teachers is mind-blowing. Right now there is no teacher for art, music, or PE. If those subjects are to be covered, the teacher does it. We get recess to prep, if there aren't kids who didn't finish their work and need to stay in. We get 30 minutes for lunch followed by another recess. The job requires a lot of planning ahead and being prepared to fill in at the last minute if a plan falls apart or goes too fast. Right now, I'm a little tired. I may need to take a day off. They'll have to get a sub for the sub!
Dallin has been a very cute and busy little beaver. He asked his first girl out on a date. Oooooooh! They went to see "Tangled" on campus. He turned 17. They went on another date. Next day, they went on a picnic and watched off the Point for whales. They saw whales. He seems a giddy little boy. Very fun to watch!
I found the floor to the laundry area yesterday. It had been AWOL for some time. It took 7 loads of wash to find it. Maybe it's time to donate a boatload of stuff....
