Bad Blogger Update

I've been a bad blogger lately. Ever since Kaleb's second birthday party I've kinda been super busy with my class and my students. Plus there's nothing really interesting about my life at the moment. This post is just going to be some random catching up.
On the book front: I'm rereading The Hunger Games in anticipation of the movie (that doesn't come out until March) and I'm on the last book. I only have a few chapters left to read so I'll probably finish that one today or tomorrow. I'm trying to pass the awesomeness on so I lent it to a friend. I don't know if he'll read it, but he said he would. After this I get to start my new book...the new Duggar book! I'm super excited to start reading it. I usually don't go for books without plots (i.e. Jesus books, self help, biographies, etc) but I like them so much and am so curious about their lives.
On the Kaleb/baby front: Kaleb's a handful! He's really able to express what he wants now, but not always what upsets or aggravates him. This leads to several meltdowns a day. We're trying to be firm parents and we're making him calm down before we give him what he wants and say please before we help him. There's no Baby Satterwhite 2 on the way. We're having to take a break from trying because of Brad's wedding this summer. I'm not gonna lie, I'm a bit disappointed. We got pregnant the first time without even trying so I thought it would be super easy this time. Turns out, not so much. I had to cry about it a little bit when I found out I wasn't pregnant because it meant I'd have to wait at least 4 months to start trying again. I really want to be pregnant and hold a newborn baby again. I just have to trust that God's plan is perfect and that I wasn't meant to get pregnant yet.
On the job front: School's pretty good. I've got a routine going and my students are really starting to get used to my style of teaching...which is a lot of groups. On any given day, at any given time, you could walk in and see kids in groups on the floor, desks turned around, and "centers" going. I don't think I could teach whole group all day long. It's just too draining on them and me.
On the September front: I've got class every other Tuesday night and lots of homework to do this month. I also have to sign up to take my comps in November and register to graduate in May. At the end of the month I'll be working at the children's market with my mom to make a little extra money. This is supposed to go towards paying off our bills. I'm sure most of it will. Football season has started which is good for NFL time but bad for WCHS time. Eric's gone every Friday night now. If I didn't have Kaleb then I'd go and hang out with him (and the other directors) on game nights, but with Kaleb it's pretty much impossible to go and enjoy myself. Contests start in October, so for the moment I'm just thankful I can still see him on Saturdays.
And that is my Bad Blogger Update.
