| Well, I am now officially a student teacher at Hayward High School, Hayward, California. My master teacher has been teaching for 10 years, and I observe/help with 3 classes every morning with her. She is full of great ideas and is happy to include me in making them happen. Her 11th grade students are currently reading Catcher in the Rye. Not anywhere near my favorite! My teacher was telling me that the guy who assassinated John Lennon and the guy who tried to assassinate Pres. Reagan were both carrying this book with them when they carried out their dastardly deeds!!!
Anyway, I will be student teaching every day from 8-12:30. Then I have classes at my college Mon/Wed/Thur from 4:30-7:30, and one online class. Do they think we are Super(wo)men or what??? Not looking forward to this part of my schedule. And organizing/pricing things to sell at my dad's house for the estate sale we are going to put on, hopefully near the beginning of October.
Busy, busy, busy...

| Okay, I'm not too proud to say it--I'm a born slob. I find cleaning to be a huge waste of time away from all the other things I'd rather be doing. So I put it off till I have company coming to visit from out of town. Texas, to be exact. Not family, a girlfriend from way back, who happens to be neat (but then again, just about everyone's neater than me). So I thought I'd share a few pictures of my "new, improved" apartment. All this would not have happened without my Organizer Extraordinaire, julie. She poked, prodded, cajoled; pointed out all the positive outcomes from this task; gave us breaks when we needed them; saw the funny side of things I was too distressed/discouraged to see; and generally was an all-around cheerleader and exhorter. I highly recommend her to anyone here in the Bay Area--I hear her rates are very reasonable! So here's the proof:

Amazing, eh? Now, to keep it this way....stay tuned!

Had a short bit of Grandma Time today with one of my two favorite good-looking young men! Aiden is growing so fast, it seems. He's almost 17 months and still doesn't say a lot. It's such a change from girls! Now sound effects, he's great at! He still loves to laugh and be silly (that's a still shot of him dancing in the kitchen!). But he also has his moments: when he doesn't get his way, he shows his anger by plopping himself down wherever he's standing and screeches. His mother says, "I don't care if you don't like it, that's how it is," and walks away. He watches, gets up and goes about his day! When I came in, he had a small bag of chips in his hand and was busy shoving as many as he could get in his mouth! Is that a boy thing? I'm a mother of 4 girls, remember?! | | |
