Decision

Today has been a pretty good day. I had to do that screening this morning. I got there a lot earlier than I needed to (oh, an hour) because David suggested that I leave so early since traffic is bad through there (Acton Road). Afterwards, my dad and I went to lunch at Macaroni Grill since it is only a few minutes away from where he works. I called David and told him where we were going, so he got to join us too for lunch. And then a came home. I am so sleepy! Casper decided he wanted to get up at 4:30 this morning. This is rare (unless he doesn't have food). Anyway, I have made a decision. I am quitting my job. This is very hard for me since I have been there 6 years. But, that is what I feel is best right now. It has taken me a lot of prayer to come to this point. I love my job, but it is starting to interfere with a lot of things, church in particular. I haven't been able to go 4 out of the past 6 weeks because I get stuck at work. That has really been bothering me. I will actually still be working there though. I am going to teach cake decorating classes. This will be a lot less stress and I can set my hours and just work 2 hours on Saturday. So, that's all. I posted some pictures since I've been saying I would for like ever now. These are my cakes (and a couple of other pictures). I just watched the funniest video ever. My supervisor sent it to me. I spent 30 minutes yesterday in her office watching videos that were sent to her. I also saw a scuba diving cat. Very interesting. Anyway, if anyone wants to see it, I can e-mail it to you. I almost would have sworn that it was my dad....

I had to throw in my Casper kitty too. This is his favorite spot - on the coffee table. The lighting wasn't very good. He's actually gray instead of black.  

This is Bella getting a bath. She LOVES baths. This was after we thought she was trying to drown herself by sticking her head in the water. She decided that she didn't want to get a bath in the sink - she wanted on David. So he got a nice little bath too. 

This is my tier cake that I did for the final project. I never got to do it in class because it was the same day I fell and hurt my foot. 

I waited too long to take the picture and my bow fell. =(

I wish that after I finished this I hadn't put the green around the top.

Again

I have to do another screening tomorrow at a daycare. I really don't want to go, but I can at least make up some hours since one of my clients has canceled a lot. Oh well. Yesterday was kind of a rough day. A close friend of mine shared some bad news that is going on in her life. Please be praying for her also. Anyway, I have come close to making my decision. I am just waiting for confirmation of what I need to do. It is very difficult for me. On a lighter note, Emmy lost her first tooth yesterday. She is too cute. Well, I guess I better go look up some signs for my hellian client today. =)

The week at large

This past week has been crazy. I did my first real diagnostic on Thursday. So Sunday, we had to write up our report. It took us 6 hours! I thought I was going to die! We had a lot of fun though. We seriously could not have done it without David. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband! Anyway, this week is kinda slow, so I am definitely happy about that. Yesterday, one of my kids did great while the other one was a hellian. I had to get mean. My supervisor said she was proud. She said I had the "teacher" look and voice. I was so fried by the end of the session though! Anyway, please pray for me this week. I have a big decision I need to make. Anyway, everything is going well. I can't believe we're already over half way through the semester. I guess I need to go finish typing up my autism checklist. I'll try to post again Thursday.

The longest week

I think this is the longest week ever. It seems like it should be Saturday already. I have a lot of tests and a lot due this week. I got my competency back & I passed. I was very excited! Other than that, not much is going on. David and I got to spend the weekend child-free, so we went to a movie. I really need sleep at this point though!

A first

Well, I had to take my 1st competency today. We have to take these throughout grad school to prove that we know what we're doing (basically). Right now, I am not feeling very competent. Maybe it went ok. I wasn't the only one scared to death! Speaking of scared...we were in the computer lab at school on Tuesday, looking at an e-mail. It's a car ad, and this little guy pops out & scared you. Well, imagine 8 women screaming like little girls. We had people all over the building coming to check on us. Then we decided to try it on one of our professors. In her exact words, "I think I just wet myself. Don't do that, my heart not so good." I think we laughed for 30 minutes after. If anyone wants to see it, let me know.

Not much

I really don't know why I'm posting. I don't have much to say. This week and next week are going to be hectic. I have to take my 1st competency this week. Pray for me! It is going to be rough. Anyway, the weekend was good. But at this point, I seriously need a break! I have been doing school stuff from 8 am to 9 pm (except for yesterday, it was 10:30, & I finished it this morning). This weekend, we will be munchkin free, so maybe I'll actually get to do something!

The weekend

I am very much looking forward to the weekend. I need a break, even though I'm not really going to get one. Right now, I am at school trying to finish my treatment reports. I am at school when I don't have to be, how bad is that? Anyway, were are taking Emmy to the McWane Center tomorrow as a reward for getting green dots in school. For a while, she was having some problems, so we made a deal with her that after she got so many we would go back to McWane center. Anyway, I guess that's all for now. I've got a ton of stuff to do. I'll try to post pictures later tonight from the beach...

Always a holiday

You know how it always feels like every day is a holiday? Well, according to American Greetings, it is. I found this site that has a holiday for every day of the month. What is your favorite? Today is "Visit your cousin in prison day." Hmmm.....

Rest and Relaxation

Well, this weekend was great. My ankle and knee are still sore and I've still been sick to my stomach, but they're getting better. The beach was nice. We left Thursday afternoon. Saturday and Sunday the waves were really high. They had out the flags on Sunday. We got to see David's grandparents, brother and sister-in-law, and aunt and uncles. It was kinda good to get home too since I missed my animals.
