October has just flown by for me! Classes are still going pretty good although most days i really just don't want to get out of bed. I've been fighting off a cold(possible allergies too) for a few days and have been having really bad headaches on the left side of my head. Thankfully I feel much better today. :) I definitely need lots of energy working with kids!

Oops! I just realized the time and I need to get to work! I'll write more later!

Me and Travis are staying at my parent's house this weekend while they are in Martinsville for a NASCAR race with my sister. They have a scanner so I finally got to scan some of the wedding picture proofs and get them online. We get a cd of all the pictures but not until after we get the album and all the real pictures so that could be a while.

This week I got to go to a pumpkin farm with the kids I nanny for. The family I work for is friends with the owners. They had this HUGE pumkin launcher thing. 2 years ago they had the record for the longest launch but lost it last year. They are competing again this year so they've been practicing. We got to see 2 launches and I couldn't believe how high and far the pumpkin went! It looked like a little dot in the sky! The 2 older kids were excited but Jack(he's 2) was a little scared.

I think I have senioritis. This is my last undergrad semester and I am so ready for it to be over. It sucks majoring in something that I'm not really interested in and just trying to get a degree so I can get into grad school. It will be over soon though and I just hope I can keep my grades up and not get too distracted!

Where has the week gone?

After getting some much needed rest on sunday, Travis and I went over to Scott and Danielle's house and got ready for a boat ride. We went up to the lake and it was so cold! We were all bundled up but it was a nice ride. We went by Bob Bear's huge house on the water. He was(?) the owner of the loudon racetrack and his house is gorgeous and right on the water! Travis took a few pictures on his phone so i'll put them up soon.

This week has gone by really fast. Classes are going pretty well. I got a B in my other test in Behavior and I really didn't study all that much. On wednesday I got up early for my 8am class and went all the way to UNH only to find it was cancelled! It's a 3 hour class too so I had 3 hours to waste. I ended up going to the library and just surfed the internet for a while.

Work has been pretty good lately. The kids have actually been pretty calm for the most part. Dinner and bathtime can still be a challenge and I usually end up looking like I was the one in the bathtub! But they are still doing well overall. Speaking of work it's about time for me to go!

Grades and Girls night

I got my test back in D&B and got a B just like I thought. I actually did much better than I thought on the essay! I think I will do better on the next tests since I know what kinds of questions will be on them. The first test is usually the hardest with a new teacher.

Friday I had to get an oil change and get my car inspected. I was in plaistow so I stopped at my parents house to pick up some mail and our wedding picture proofs! I was so excited to see all the pictures! We have to pick out one to go on our thank you cards and it was so hard but we've narrowed it down to 2.

Tonight I picked up my friend Megan from Kohls and we went down to quincy to meet Alyson and Erin at Erin's apartment. We went to Applebees and got some food and drinks. I haven't seen them since the wedding so it was so nice to hang out and laugh with them. After we got some ice cream from Friendly's! So good! We brought the ice cream back to Erin's and looked through all the wedding proofs. There are some great candids of people dancing!

Right now I'm just waiting for Travis to get home from Scott's house so we can go to bed! I'm so tired but I know if I fall asleep I'll probabaly freak out when I hear him walk in!
