For this child I prayed........ and the Lord hath given me that which I asked of him.

Brrrrrrrrr!

It seems as if we have completely skipped autumn and gone straight into winter. Yesterday when I pulled in the driveway from work it was actually sleeting. Wow its only 19 days until Thanksgiving and shortly after it will be Christmas. Let's just say I am looking forward to some time off and spending time with my family. I am NOT looking forward to the hassle of the holidays, though. There is so much to do and yet so little time to do it all. Work has gotten more stressful lately because of the RACE TO THE TOP program. In education we have made a deal with the devil to get all this money for education. They are absolutely working us to death! Next Tuesday I have meetings before and after school. I never seem to get enough time to actually "teach"....Instead we are becoming more and more bogged down with surveys, online courses, meetings, paperwork, etc. Oh well, enough complaining. Alex and Amanda are getting married next weekend....a week from today. YIKES! Time has flown by with this wedding planning. Raegan is very excited about getting to wear her "marry" dress aka her flower girl dress. Preschool is going great. Raegan is making so many new friend. In fact, today we are going to her friend Josie's birthday party. She has done so well for being the baby. She even won the spirit award for her class during Homecoming week. She says when she grows up that she wants to be a dancing cheerleader....let me tell you she plays the part well. She especially likes learning songs and memory verses each week. I am amazed at what she can remember. These little ones are like sponges, soaking it all up. Scott has been asked to come to her school to talk about fire safety and being a firefighter. She can't wait for him to come. I am a little sad that I will miss it. Wish us luck as we get out in the cold today. We don't deal with COLD well in the south.
