Tonight... one last message before to bed...

Thank you, Sister, for updating my blogspot! You are the best! I love it!

SO I have decided and registered to take the English 8-12 Content Mastery TExES Exam on Saturday, August 2nd. This means prayers may begin... I told my sister the other day that I do not think I studied like this in high school or in college. It is amazing the motivation that comes in two innocent and precious faces. I am just so greatful that there are programs like this out there... for those of us that have our heads up our butts during those years of what do I major in to achieve my purpose in this life. I mean really! Sometimes, since we are here in Lubbock, I have to admit that sometimes I have thought about going in and finding that advisor that suggested that I continue on in Sociology! WHAT!!! I distinctly remember it going something like this is a GREAT field, you are talented in these courses, and there are many options for someone with a Bachelor Degree in Sociology!!! It's a good thing that I do not distinctly remember that woman's name.It is also good that I realize she was very well simply fulfilling her position as one in an education profession and possibly even as a mom... I just only wish I would have put two and two together then. Now it all makes perfect sense. Of course she could say that... she was not out there trying to find a job, make a living, and spend limited time with babies with that Sociology degree. However, either way, I am just glad I get a chance to redeem that BA in Sociology for something that will allow me some time with my buckaroos.
We (me and the Dubster) are aware that tests are not my most favorite thing to do with my time, but I am commited. We (me, the Dubster, and my lucky rabbit's foot in my pocket) are also aware that there could be a chance that I just blow this one. The test will tell.
In the mean time, I am working my behind literally off at the office, chasing after all my Cowboys in the evenings, and pulling some late nights here on the web researching English literature, metacognition, classical allusions, and TExES free study guides.
I love the internet... I would be stuck in a Sociology rut without it... oh, and I love my Bro and Sister in law for informing of the site to apply for the alternative certification.
So enough of the talking to no one but the inner self that is telling myself I better get studying before I crash... this will be all for now!

All is really going well on the homefront out here in "Lou-bock!" We are online again which I am so much more excited for than I really thought I would be... hence, I am on her at 5:55 am so that I can get a few words in before the cowboys rise!
I am contemplating a few things this very morning, and am not sure which direction to go. I have been accepted to an alternative certification program to be able to become an educator. Now, anyone that knows me, knows that I have just done about everything in my power to avoid this obvious thing here that is about to happen. You see, I come from a family of educators by choice, and I thought that I would just never go down that path. Not that there is anything in the world wrong with teaching. It's just when you hear for your entire life all the negative about the field it makes you think that maybe you should not go there. However, I am now a mom, with a Sociology degree, and working as an Optician. Not that that any of that is bad either... I am just looking for my purpose here.
Did you know that teacher's have THE best schedule in consideration of the family. I did not realize this as much as a spoiled young lady with a mom that put herself on the back burner so that she would not be required to stray too far from her young. Now that I have young of my own, I feel guilty each morning as I have to go and drop them off to someone else at 7:50 am (the very last possible minute) so that I can go try to make all of an hourly rate with no benefits... not to mention they are there (these two precious souls, that I was allowed to create) until sometimes 6 and 6:30 pm.
SOOOO, with all that said, I have been accepted to the alternative certification program, and my stump... is that i cannot decide what content mastery area to take my cert exams in so that I can get this show on the road. And in this, i feel the usual procrastination that takes over my body when i feel as if i am coming to yet another crossroad in this thing called life.

All I can think now as I really need to get off of this soap box is that He never said it was going to be easy, He only said it would be worth it.

It has been ONE not so full year of blogging!

So we are back up on the internet! We just got our connection here at the Lubbock house! Now if i could only get my digital camera up and going we would be in business! I look forward hearing from all that are going to start commenting on my oh so many posts!

Back on the Blog-wagon!

HA, HA! Well, so back to blogging... no not clogging, but blogging! Man, I am full of them today! We are settled in at our house in Lubbock, and have come in this weekend to Mandy's to bring the boys to visit for their summer vacation! I hope to get some new pics on this weekend!
