This semester is almost over

What I learned this semester is to never take five classes again no matter how easy I think the class would be. This semester was good I learned a lot in all my classes, I was able to refresh my sign language and I learned a lot in my field experience from my edf2085 class. Writing has never been my strength but I got a lot pf my practice in my ENC1102 class. I'm very happy to be passing all my classes( I hope). My sons really got used to school and have stayed with very little problem. I'm very happy and was very lucky to have great teachers this semester. I can't wait for the holiday break and for next semester and hopefully my last semester before graduating with my AA. Well, thank you all for a great semester.

My grandmother

This last week made four months since my grandmother passed away. This christmas will be a happy but sad because it will be our first christmas without her. My grandmother was very close to all, specially all her grandsons and grandaughters. We are all missing her very much specially at this time of the year. She would always cook eventhough she was very weak at times and couldn't stand for a very long period times but she loved to cook so she would do it no matter what we told her. My oldest son asks for her sometimes but he is too small to know what happen so he still doesn't know. My gradmother will not be here this Christmas but her spirit will.

I'm thankful for my family

I'm thankful for a lot of things but the one thing that I'm most thankful for is my family. I thank god everyday for letting me have them. My husband is the greatest, he is always there for me and the kids. He provides for us and I have to say he cooks really good too(lol). My sons what can I say they are my life. I'm so thankful that they are healthy(most of the time) boys with no major illness. God has blessed me a lot this year but they are the biggest blessing I have. To be able to hold them everyday is what I'm thankful for.

Field Experience

On November I finish my field experience at a middle school it was very interesting. When I initially was placed on that school I thought oh no! I don't want middle schools I never want to teach there. Why did they place me there? I did just 15 hours at the school but it really changed my mind about middle schools. I always thought middle schools are filled with teenagers with crazy hormones that think they know it all. Well I was right but it was not as bad as I pictured it. I was placed in a classroom with gifted students for some class period and regular students in other and they were actually all really cool. In my head I thought these kids must drive their teachers crazy but they didn't they paid attention at least when I was there and did their work most of them not all. This middle school was not bad at all but I still rather teach at an Elementary school.

........is the best feeling in the world

When I get home and my boys are home and they run to the door to give me a hug, kiss, and they tell me they miss me is the best feeling in the world. Sometimes, (very rare) my boys get home before me because my husband picks them up from school. When I get home and they run towards me and they tell me they miss me makes me feel so happy and thankful to have them both in my life. Even if I just step out of the house to pick up groceries and come back they always do it. I hug them, kiss them and tell them I miss them too to see their face so happy to see me is the best.

A moment in my life when I felt an overwhelming fear was when...

A moment in my life when I felt an overwhelming fear was when I lost my mother lost my four year old son at target. It was a sunday afternoon my mother and I decided to stop at target to get a gift for a baby shower that was coming up for a friend. When we got to target I split up with my mom because she wanted to buy cloth for the baby and I was looking for pampers and wipes. She decided to keep my four year old and I took my two year old. When I got my stuff and started walking towards her I noticed she didn't have Anthony so I asked her where he was and she says I don't know I thought he had left with you. At the moment my heart stopped and I just couldn't think straight I started running and screaming his name. When I suddendly stop and heard hi, scream mom at the moment I started to feel better because I heard his voice and I knew he was close by. In fact he was a few rows over looking at thomas and friends trains that he loved. I felt so much better and now no matter where we are at or with who he never leaves my side, not even to go with my husband he is with me at all times.

Universal Studios

This past weekend my husband and I took the boys to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. The little one since he was too short could not ride much but still had a lot of fun at cat in the hat and he loved meeting spider man. Anthony the oldest loved spider and talked to him for about five minutes I felt horrible for everyone waiting on the line. Anthony had a lot more fun in Universal studios and so did Adrian they loved playing the Curios George area, an Barney. Anthony really enjoyed the Simpson ride and Adrian got a little certificate to come back and ride it in the express line once he is tall enough. I thought that was really cool no other ride did that for him. Overall it was a great trip and can't wait to go again they kids really had fun but next time no kids just my husband and I.
