A little update

I knew it would happen, today I had to leave my sick baby and go to work. It was hard, but Jeff was home with her (way weird, for dad to be home with sick baby) he need to go to work too so "mimi" Jeff's mom came down to stay with her. Josie came up with mimi all by herself. We always thought grandma and grandpa would be grandma and grandpa. When Josie saw a picture of Jeff's mom and called her mimi. It stuck and it's not going anywhere! Josie loves her almost to the point of jealously for me haha! So Josie had a blast today and seemed to be better when I got home. I was able to leave a little early, another teacher did some of things I needed to get done. Including, copying some quiz's for me.

At cheer practice today my patience was thrown over the edge! If you know me you know I cannot really truly be mean. Well today when three girls took cattiness to whole new level and even put a girl in a dangerous situation I lost it. I didn't yell (I wanted to) I lectured them so intensely I was shaking and they took a step back with wide eyes. I think I've seen the end of that. Well maybe not they are in 7th grade =)

Over all they are doing well, learning allot and they look good. I have to remember that they are young and working hard is something they are still learning how to do. We will be attending a low key competition in November and the 8th graders and I will be getting a routine together next week. I am excited and terrified for this =)

I am still teaching a few hours of cheer and gymnastics each week at the Y. Why? Well I love it and I really love the people I work with. I may need to back off a little in the spring, but I can't quit. That job gave me hope when I was so sick of being at home all day and gave some life time friends, and friends for Josie.

Jeff is teaching a bible study at church. It is how to survive the economic meltdown from a Biblical perspective. He is excited to share his knowledge and get to know some new people.

Every other minute is spent with Josie and we love to play at the playground, take her baby for walks in her new baby stroller, read books, and learn new words. She can count to 10, with help, she repeats everything she hears, and today she said shoo to a fly that was buzzing around her head. I am (too early I know) teaching her what the potty is, and today she showed mimi her new words when I asked her where do you pee pee? She ran into the bathroom saying potty potty and hit the toilet with her hands. Too bad peeing in it for real is not happening yet!!!

Doing really well, busy, but having a blast. It's awesome to hear HEY MRS JACKSON yelled from across the school parking lot, then get home to a big hug and mommy, mommy I wub oohh.
