Wonder where we have been?

Well I tell you we have been here.  But our life is a little crazy and a little stressed at the moment.

Of course as you have seen we have started school and that has not gone as smoothly as planned.  Sugar Bear has been crying herself to sleep, waking up crying and crying all the way to school.  I started with the sympathic mom and we talked and talked and talked about it.  All she ever really said was it is long and I miss you.  So after a few days of listening and talking and talking and talking some more I decided a to take a different approach, rewards.  She found a movie in the red box she wanted to rent and so I told her that we would rent it if she went two days without crying.  And well that worked! She went two days without crying and instead of the big red box she wanted to go to Mrs. Tiffany's house and get a Barbie movie.  We went and got the movie and she has watched it a BUNCH.  But now that she has watched the movie she says, "Now that I got the movie I feel like I might cry".  But thankfully she has been doing good and not crying.  Although, now she is asking if she gets sick at school does she get to come home early.  So now I am waiting on the phone call that is from the nurse that tells me she got sick at school.  I tell you what that little girl is going to be dangerous when she is older.  She can really think things through and she can find a loop hole in anything.

We have also started dance 2 days a week, Cheerleading practice once a week, football games once a week, AWANA at church on Wednesdays, D's footballs games, Softball twice a week and Church on Sunday's. Whew, are you tired?  I know I am.  We are having a blast but we are a little crazy at the Reid household.

Not to mention I got an AWESOME job that I am super excited about.  I am a Preschool teacher for the younger 2's at a local church and I can't wait.  I will have between 9 and 12 students each day and I have a co-teacher to help me.  The hours are great and I can still take the girls to school and pick them up.

Of course I am still working as an AWANA games teacher at my church on Wednesday nights and I am still the 5K Sunday School teacher.  I have Sugar Bear in my class and she is super excited about it.  But we got into a little bit of a tiff this past Sunday.  She thinks because she is the teachers daughter she can teach the class and she was not following directions.  So we  had a little talk in the hall and I hope things are better this coming Sunday.  Pooh Bear has new teachers too and she is enjoying herself.  They are saying the Lord's Prayer every Sunday in hopes that they know it word for word by the end of the year.  I am pretty excited about that.

So with all of this being said I hope to get caught up soon.  I have some really cute and fun pictures to post.  I hope everyone is doing well.
