Good Clean Fun

Chasen enjoys bath time every night, as proven by these pictures! And boy did he need a bath!

Things are settling down after the holidays at the Miller's. School has started back for both me and Justin. I go two nights a week to class, but the class is only an hour and fifteen minutes long. Plus, no papers or projects to do! I do have a major project to complete for my practicum though. It's called an Action Research Paper and it seems like it is almost as cumbersome as a dissertation for a doctorate degree! I haven't chosen my topic yet, but I think once I do that I will feel much better about the paper.

February is going to be very exciting for me at my work. I am taking my Math Bowl team to two competitions and going to a fancy conference that is over $500 a ticket courtesy of my school. I am very excited about both. I have been meeting with my math bowl kids for a while now and I think they will have a really good time at the competitions. Plus, since they consist of all grade levels, there should be a solid team already started for next year. Speaking of next year, with the economy how it is now schools are cutting jobs all over Georgia. I already know I won't get a raise next year, but hopefully I'll still have a job! There are a lot of changes going on at my school, so it should be interesting to see how everything works out.

We moved Chasen into a twin sized "big-boy" bed. So far, he has fallen out twice! Justin argues that he is climbing out but just being too tired to do anything after that. All I know is that I've found the kid on the floor twice now. We are pulling out the co-mattress underneath his bed now so at least if he falls (or climbs) out he will have a nice cozy mattress to sleep on! I think he will get use to it and we won't have these problems after too long.
