major update

WOW! I’m surprised I remembered my password.  It’s been 4 months since I have graced OD with my presence. This is insane. Well, the school year ended on May 29th and I am a free woman for about 2 1/2 months. YESSSSSSS!!! This year was soooo crazy.  My first graders got better with their behavior, but my end-of-year evaluation was not so great with my principal.  I love her to death, but some of the things we talked about were extremely hurtful.  She wasn’t trying to be hurtful, but it happened anyway.  As sensitive as I am, those hurtful things have stayed with me for these last few days.  I’m slowly getting over them and starting to already be excited about starting a new school year.  I’m doing a lot of thinking and reflecting this summer and I hope I can do much better this next school year.

Kory is slowly getting closer to grad school.  He has looked and the School Psychology program at BYU and figured out which GRE to take.  Now he needs to sign up and take it.  When that gets done, I will feel so happy. It makes me weary thinking about grad school and not having any clue where we will be in the next couple years. He hasn’t thought about any other schools he would like to attend, hence my worries. I hate bringing it up with him, but sometimes I just have to buckle down and talk to him about it.

Recently I have asked Kory every night for a kitten (almost jokingly).  I do so because I’m not allowed to bring up wanting a baby (which is a deeper, much deeper, desire than having a kitten) with Kory.  He doesn’t want to talk about it and that makes me so sad.  I have promised him I won’t bring up wanting a baby so instead I bring up wanting a kitten.

That’s about all for my update.

Hey, a kitten is still good! 🙂 Actually, for me and Paul it was the OPPOSITE for a while with the kids thing — he was NOT allowed to bring it up for a time because I needed to feel like I was ready first and I didn’t like being pestered about it and feeling like I was a bad person for not being quite ready. Now it can happen any ol’ time. 😉 Let Kory finish grad school. One hurdle at a time.
