Is it an update or a book!?

Finals are OVER!!! At least for those two classes Math, and Nutrition. I am finished with Math!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That required many exclamation points. Math was so difficult for me, but it is over and I passed them both. Whew! I started my next block of classes Monday and I am taking a History class about the United States from 1945 to the present. It should be interesting. I am also taking psychology again! I missed it. I am diving deeper into the mind and behavior. It is so interesting to me, and helps me make sense of so much around me! :)

Savannah had a "me day" yesterday. The third, fourth and fifth grades got to walk to a near by park and spend the day out there doing all sorts of activities. She had such a good time. I forgot to get a camera for her, unfortunately but she was ok with that. Besides, when I give her a camera, she takes all the pictures as soon as she can, and runs out of film. So, I usually get 10-15 pictures of the same person, plant or car....

Justin is doing better. Last week he had an in school suspension!!! At 6!!!!!! He is still having problems with his behavior and has this "I don't have to listen to you" attitude. The principle had called me last week to come meet with her because Justin was in her office for 2 hours and still not listening. It was an embarrassing day, but Justin got his punishment. I did not know what to do with him, but my darling hubby did!!! As soon as Joseph got home, he had Justin outside in the backyard picking up dog poop, pulling weeds, sweeping etc. And in this 95 degree heat, it was NO fun for him at all. In the evening we had him writing sentences and by 9pm he was BEGGING to go to bed. We had never heard him ask to go to bed! Since then, he has come home with happy green faces (Green is good!) and no other bad things about behavior. We let him know that if he gets anything other than that green happy face, the outside chores are calling......

Aaron is still doing good. He drives me crazy (in a good way) with his cuteness!!! He says the cutest things lately and it melts me. He enjoys staying home with me but I can tell he is starting to get lonely. He is always excited when we pick the kids up from school because he cannot wait to play or hang out with his big bro. I am thinking of putting him in the pre-school program on main post, but it cost money. Or he will have to wait another year before he can start school over here. So I don't know. But he is good.

Joseph is well. He is super busy training up for war again. Unfortunately he has to go to California for 3 weeks on Sunday for some special observer thing for another unit. Then when he gets back he has to go out for 2 weeks to the field. At least we will have 10 days leave this summer, and can relax with each other. He will be very busy with training in the coming months.

Of course I am busy as well. With the kids, school, house, and FRG, I have literally no time for anything else right now. The FRG is taking a lot of time right now because I am tying to prepare families for the separations that are about to take place. It is time consuming, but I know in the end it will be worth it.

Well, that is about it for now. I need to write more often so that I am not writing a book every time I get on here.
