Summer's almost over...

Boy, did this summer go by fast! They always do. Noah and I had lots of quality time together, but he'll enjoy going back to Helen's to be with his friends. He'll be romping around with four other boys this year: Brady, Xavier, Brenan, and the newest addition, Jensen. I'm sure they'll have lots of great times, and a few bumps and bruises to speak of. Nonetheless, I will miss Noah like crazy and going back to work is not my idea of having fun. If I could change the world, I would be a stay at home mom who does everything perfectly and makes everything from scratch. And my house would be perfectly decorated and Noah would be perfectly well behaved. Who am I kidding?! It wouldn't be that way even it I didn't work!
I will be teaching fourth, fifth, and sixth grade Language Arts this year, with a fifth grade Reading class. I have been fourth up until this year, so the Reading class will be a new challenge for me. I have a lot of the same kids as I had last year, which is for the most part a good thing. I always worry I won't be good enough or be the boring teacher that every kid dreads. I try my best with the time that I have. I feel like my life's ranking of matter of importance goes like this: being a Christian in all ways of my life, being a great wife and mother, being a great teacher. So my time mostly gets taken up by Noah and being there for him. Teaching will have to go on a back burner until my kids are all in school (assuming we will be blessed with more kids!). Not that I don't try to do a good job, I just don't spend a ridiculous amount of time on my school work. Just the basics then back to Noah. And that's the way it should be.
My master's class starts back up again, but I feel like there is light at the end of this tunnel. Two more classes, maybe three. I'll be done next summer. Praise God He's gotten me through this far with straight A's!
Well, that's enough rambling for now, but I think this catches you up on everything in life right now!
