Instead of working on my applications, I chose to make my blog pretty. I don't know if you could call this procrastination or just chosing to do what I want to do and that is not applications. I have filled out all of the easy stuff like name, address, schools, jobs, blah blah blah. Now I have to do the dumb parts like why did I want to become a teacher or why do I want to teach at this school? The thing I don't understand is why they ask these same questions. Surely everyone's answers are the same. It's the answers the school wants to hear. So I guess I will mouth up some bs to write. The truth is of course we want to teach or we wouldnt have gone to school for it. The other truth is we want to teach in your district cause it is either in driving distance or it is just plainly a job. I honestly don't know if one school is better than the other until I am there. So!!! I'll do it later!
Travis is into this stuff called k'nex. My brother in law and him spent all day making this roller coaster. It was really awesome but contains over 2000 pieces. CRAZY. I DONT have the patience for all of that. Well they come with an instruction manual to make different things. The roller coaster makes another coaster like thing. He also go another box of k'nex that make 4 different things too. And last he got 4 small connect trucks that put together to make a monster truck. So that is fine and dandy. He is playing with it and reading the manual and says " I wonder if I can make up my own toy." Finally, imagination! 
He has made two different "things." hmmmmm maybe he willl be an engineer??? And then the next weekend, Doug and Travis spent all weekend building a Lego car. That is their new hobby. They started it about a 3 years ago. (When Travis was old enough) And they have quite the selection. Doug is going to put them all on shelves for disp
lay in his man cave. Right now they are all in a kitchen cabinet.I was just looking at his report card and see that his lowest A (93) is in reading. Of course! And his highest A (98) is in math. He absolutely loves math. From the time he was little we would be in the car and he would make up a math problem and ask me to solve it. No kidding. Now he is working on 6th grade math. We will be laying in bed and he will tell me he can't sleep cause he can't stop thinking about math problems. Seriously, what is wrong with my child? I never had that problem when I was trying to go to sleep!! Sheesh!
So I am playing the old mother's cupboard game called Clean out the pantry! Yeah, I've made up the game but my family knows exactly what it is when I say we are going to play it. It is when I use my imagination to use what we have to make a meal. Creative, huh. No, it's called learning to be without! Believe me it is not always good and usually isn't healthy (fried). Cause anything taste good fried, right? We had fried catfish and hushpuppies. I know I could have baked the dang fish but I hate baked fish. It is so slimmy. And the texture is too much for me. owwww. I have no idea what I am going to make today. I think some sort of noodle dish since I have noodles and sauce. But I have no hamburger meat so it will have to have chicken or something. Fish? J/K. To off balance the fried fish last night, I just had cottage cheese and crackers. I'm out of coffee and creamer so I will have to go to the store anyway. You don't want to see me without coffee!
We started a caffine experiment at school last night. We let all of our kids get a cup of coffee. Of course we jazzed it up with yummy creamer. So far it has worked with our add kids. We will continue the experiment until we can really tell if it makes a different and then we are giving our parents a written proof, that caffiene helps calm overstimulated children. I haven't been able to get any pic of my lil hispanics cause they have been gone but I did get a pic of Bri Bri! She reminds me of a lil Oprah. Too cute.
