A Busy Couple Days

There was a young autistic child in our school program that wasn't doing to well in his class. There was another child in his class that was bullying to the point that the teacher no longer had control of the class. It was horrible. So we traded a good child in our class who only acted up occasionally for this autistic child. Well as you may or may not know, autistic children do not adapt well to change and for the first day he just laid by the door screaming, "Frank is lost, Frank need to go back his class room, please help me" At the top of his lungs, trying to get back to his class room. Its gotten better as the week has progressed though and he is finally getting the ropes of things. He is thriving in this class and all the kids accept him as normal and he is a very cute kid.

Today we had a no kids day which we have every second friday, and you pretty much need it to keep your sanity. On these days we just socialize and plan the next 2 weeks. The friday before thanksgiving we are going to make a big pot of soup for the kids and they will help us make it. They are going to cut vegetables with plastic knives then get to eat it later. it should be fun!!

We got a new employee for our class room. The previous one was fired because she only showed up when she felt like it. She has been making some very bad decision with her life and is now suffering the consquences. I feel very bad for here but she has put her self in this position.

Also, I am so excited for the vaca that Jolene, Michelle and I are going on. I'm not going to say much about it until its officially booked but I'm so excited I can barely wait for the 6 months till it happens. Maybe I will go to Mexico at Christmas time. Hahaha.. Probably not I don't have a boss that will help me pay for it :-p

My Aunty Jo is staying with us right now. She came down for the funeral and to help clean out my grandpa's house and to visit my Uncle who has recently come down with infection and was admitted to the hospital. He seems to be doing better but I'm not quite certain.

Also we might have a couple girls from Neerlandia stay at our house from saturday till sunday so we will have a full house. They are coming down for a photo scavengar hunt at WEM so it should be fun.

I have been taking lessons from Jolene and have got a planner to organize my appointments and stuff like that. We will have to see if it works or not.



Thats all for now, See you all later


PS Jolene write on your blog :-P

Internet Down

On Saturday Shauna, Amanda and I all went to one of Amanda's boss' rental houses and picked apples from his trees. We got four different kinds and have a huge basket full at home. Then we spent the rest of the day baking pies and apple sauce and apple crisp and any other applely delight we could think of and we have only made a small dent in the pile. We ended up missing the football game because we had to bake to try get ride of some apples. The seats were awesome ones to on the main level at the centre line so it was kind of sad they were wasted. We were going to give them to Jamie for working on our fence but he left before we could.

On Saturday Jamie and my dad started to rebuild our fence but when they were taking it down they realized they accidently cut the internet line so we don't have internet for two weeks until they get it fixed. So now we are internetless and fenceless because they haven't finished yet. Hope we get both soon!!

Happy Birthday To You........

The preparations began several days ago with the baking a cake. Today that same cake was iced, a special dinner is roasting in the oven and the house is decorated. Gifts purchased at an earlier date are gaily wrapped with colorful paper ready to be torn open and special birthday messages are waiting to be read in carefully picked cards. What is this all for?? It is for the celebration of Amanda's 23 anniversary on this earth. So Happy Birthday Amanda. This is for you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUUUUUUUU

HAAAPPPYYY BBBIIRRTTHHDDAAYY TOOOOOOOO YOOOOOOOUUUUU!!!!

(imagine the loud off key singing)

Hope you have a great day!!

Whoops

Sorry I haven't updated my blog for a little while its been a pretty busy last week with starting my new job and stuff. So my first week was interesting... The kids I work with are not mentally disabled but rather have behavioural problems that need to be fixed before going on to regular school. They are constantly screaming and throwing tantrums over nothing and nothing seems to calm them down. We have on girl who tends to throw up when she's mad at you and 3 of our kids have lice out of the 7 in the one class so we are not allowed to hug them or anything. Last week I was in the one class and this week I am in the other. The class I'm in now makes the other class look good though so its really hard and it doesn't help that we are understaffed.

The other thing that happened was the soap box derby on Saturday it was so much fun. There was an awesome turn out of neighbourhood people and everything went smoothly and everyone had fun. In addition to racing the soap boxes there was also scavenger hunts, a giant bouncy thing, popcorn, hot dogs and hamburgers, a DJ that played music, and face painting. The planners went way out of there way and it was well thought out. I had fun until I got to my car and found out that somebody had broken into my car and stolen my purse. Luckily there was no damage to my car but I had a lot of stuff in there that was either irreplaceable or its going to be hard to replace. I have been running around trying to get a new license and I closed my old bank account and got a new one and stuff like that. I am really kicking myself for leaving it in there though. I know better but just this once I decided I didn't want to carry my purse around so I put it under my car seat thinking it will be alright because I has just going to be across the street. My car was in plan viewing sight from where I was so I don't know how nobody saw but I guess I know better now.

I applied at Save on Foods for a second job after teaching so I can save a lot of money for when I go to Africa and maybe for school if I go again so I figured I better be prepared and its better to have to much then run short. So I hope that works out. Anyway I hope I update soon. Bye.
