question
Ok, I can't put this on fb yet, but here is the question, I thought you might get a kick out of it: How can we know what the ecological niche on Mars is? (Yes, I said Mars). Guess and see (Julie you probably know so wait, lol)

observation
My observation in DeQueen went well (even though I needed some hand holding to find it-turns out I was only two blocks away though). I observed an ESL class. I got to help one girl with her chemistry (she was in there for tutoring with a migrant worker), that was nice, I actually remember it too. I should get my reading test grade today, so I'm waiting for that and going to study for my ecology and sped test. Tomorrow, I have an hour of volunteer time at the fall fest (science club for educators) and then my test and forensics class. This weekend will be spent on a couple of projects (3 actually) and starting my reading for the next ecology unit and of course the GA lesson. I'm about burnt out on this unit (ecology), I wish we would have had our test Monday. But I will review everything at least once today. We did a leaf lab monday. I love labs, they are fun, we just looked at stuff however. The next lab is at the cemetery....hmmm...
We are still working on potty training Freckles, but I think she is getting close. She has probably doubled in size! Thursday she gets her shots and Bear gets nipped. (SHHH don't tell him that). I am supposed to have an appt with the gastroenterologist, but I am not sure if I am going. We've had 3-4 dr.'s visits in the past two weeks and those $30 copays add up. I'm not having any issues now, so I'll probably call and cancel it this afternoon.
I've been spending my quiet time just praying for others and my days have sure gone a lot better! Funny how when you stop thinking of yourself everything else falls into place...I also talked with my 'mentor' (and the head of the biology dept') about my 'professor issue' and I feel better about that. I think it has about resolved itself, but it was still nice to have voiced my concerns( even though they already knew what was going on) . Well my internet connectin is VERY slow today, so it's a good thing I don't have to do anything on blackboard. I am contemplating getting a laptop, but I just don't want to shell out the money and it would not help her at home. It would just allow me to stay at one campus on wednesdays and bring all my stuff with me instead of using a flash drive.

Forgot to mention
I forgot to mention (and prob. wouldn't hurt on facebook), that we are looking for a used upright freezer. I'm also keeping my eye out for an eliptical of some sort, so if you hear of any thing, please let me know. :-)
Sunday Sunday
Well I don't have time to 'decorate' this blog, so I may take you up on that offer Lisa. It's pitiful looking I now. Yesterday was gorgeous. Wish I could have gone yesterday, it sounded like a lot of fun. I'm so glad the youth of our two churches are getting together. Hopefully, it will continue. DH got to visit with the coach some and he said they did not realized they were being rooked by the ref's until he watched the video. I hope he tells the boys, they were really upset and it really wasn't their fault. Of course they made some mistakes, but it really was ridiculous.
We checked DH's blood pressure yesterday and it was high, it wasn't borderline that day :( . He's doing well eating healthy food, but I've got to get him to realize three snacks after supper ain't gonna work even if it's healthy food, lol. I'm glad he is walking now because my feet won't let me do both and my back has not been happy about the lack of jogging.
I will be so glad to get this ecology test out of the way. There is SOOOO much material. It's all those stinkin videos that make it too much. I don't think the rest of the tests will be like this. It feels like an impossible task to have it all down like I would like to. Class has def. been better though, he's actually talking about material. I do think I did well on my reading test though, so I am anxious to get that grade back. I really enjoy that class, it seems useful. Two tests this week and I think no projects.
Potty training Freckles is still underway. She's doing better but will sometimes sneak off to our room for a potty break if the door is not closed. DH does NOT like this. What's worse she has been sneaking Bear's food which is not the best thing when it comes time to clean up if you know what happens when you switch dog foods.

New blog
This will be a busy weekend. I've got to take DH grocery shopping, clean house, study, study and then more studying. Thank goodness Debbie will do GA's for me. I hate not being there, but I know GA's is not for me, but for the girls. Once I take this first test in Ecology, I think I can relax a bit. He has just put sooo much material on this test. I hope I can go watch the kids do their drama today, it just depends on what time they perform. DH is helping out with the fun day. I think he is doing a bow shoot. I have to say I am proud of DH, he has already lost a few pounds and is serious about losing weight and getting his blood pressure down, when he goes out to eat now he gets healthy food.
Ok, so the game last night was a total rip off. That was the most blatant cheating I have ever seen. Sorry. The boys tried their hardest but nearly every single play was given a flag for the first 3/4's and the other team was allowed to do whatever they wanted. Sorry boys, it's not fair. Ya'll handled it well. I probably shouldn't say that online, but when I can make the calls better, something is wrong. When a ref watches blatant horsecollaring 4 feet in front of his face and ignores it and 2 min. later calls it on us, or throws a flag and picks it up because the other team scores? something is wrong. I don't mind losing, but come on guys let's play fair. What is this teaching the kids.
