Little of this and that.

Well, I still don't know who that heath.c is, but the wonderful thing about blogspot is being able to block someone. I was worried for a second I would have to mark my profile as private. phew* Glad that's over!

On another note, I am off to Portland for the weekend! I'm super excited. I'm going to spend some time with one of my old crazy high school friends. I love her so much, she is such a breath of fresh air. She's a liberal, (I know, but I still love her!) she's Buddhist, and she thinks on a much much deeper level than I ever do. We always have the best conversations.

Not to mention, I really, REALLY want to take a few days off from school. I know I'll be kicking myself later this weekend for not working harder on it. But, at least the term is almost over so I can't get that far behind...right?

I have to talk about my new job though, I LOOOOVVVEEE it!!! I get to be Elijah's learning coach for his home school program. It is so fun to watch him learn, and see things 'click' when he gets it. He's such a super smart kid. I always have to laugh at myself because he even corrects ME sometimes. We'll be reading his literature book and he'll stop me and say I pronounced something wrong. (For the most part, I think I pronounce them correctly, but I let him have his way with a few things. Either that, or we bust out his dictionary to look at how to pronounce something.)

I think for the most part Elijah's happy too. I don't know what he was like at public school, but he generally seems excited about most of his school work. Especially math, gosh-that kid can SMOKE you with math. It's a good thing I took algebra in college recently, or he would really give me a hard time. It's bad enough he has to put up with my miss-pronouncing words.

If I had tons of time and money, I would totally change my degree and get into teaching. I'm definitely not the best teacher out there, but I really like the job. It gives me a little glimpse into why being a Mom is so great. I can't wait till I get to teach my own kids down the road.

That part bugs me though. Down the road. I wish I was at that part in my life where kids could come now. I always think to myself I could handle having a kid right now. I mean, I'm almost done with college. I've worked in nursery, primary, cub scouts, and tutoring. I've (we've) prayed and prayed about it for a year now, and nothing has happened. It makes me wonder what I'm doing wrong...why can't we be blessed with a kid now? Would I be horrible at it?

And I know that the saying is 'when it's right, it'll happen.' But, that doesn't give someone much solace while they're waiting now. I know I'm still young, and I have plenty of years ahead of me to worry about kids. I try to convince myself that all the time. But that doesn't stop me from wanting a kid now...It's something that I've had a serious struggle with lately.

Oh well, I didn't want this to be a sympathy post or anything. It's just something that makes one feel better writing about it.

One last side note-I'm super excited about Eclipse!!! Woot woot! Next month baby!!!!
