Into November

Weather getting colder, day light savings ruining by perfectly good schedule for work, and thinking about how Thanksgiving. That is what November has brought me and I'm only happy about one of those things.

Work

I had a perfect schedule of getting up in the morning to teach 5 classes from 5am-7:30am and then going to take a nap before starting the day with Claire but now I can't teach that late. I don't want to wake up earlier that than so now I'm only teaching 4 classes and working until 7am then trying to make up those missed classes on an evening which has become a flop. The only evenings that I get scheduled to work are Friday and Saturday which is when everyone wants to do things. I also don't like my husband watching me teach and would rather him be sleeping like he has been in the morning classes. My schedule might end up changing soon anyway because he has applied for more jobs and we hopefully will move and need to work around his new working schedule. All still up in the air...yay.

Claire

Is adorable! Look at how long her hair is getting! I can get them into these cute back pigtails now and she is just so much fun to see running around with her hair actually done. She is still moving nonstop and wants to get into everything, especially whatever I'm working on at the moment. The short time she was downstairs while I was teaching showed that all she wants is to be where I am and unfortunately that is the one place she can't be. Daddy has been good about watching her for my two evening sessions of classes I had this week and now we have to decide if we will continue evening sessions with Claire wanting the attention.

Reading

I'm already into Alma now and can you believe how fast this is going? Reading with Chris right now is nearing the end of Alma so it is a little crazy to be in two different parts of Alma with reading. I've been loving the spirit I get when I make time to read every day and even though I missed a day this week I was able to catch up by reading extra on other days. As I put the scriptures as a priority, I have been able to see how they can make my life every day a little more like Christ and I can make my home a more Christ centered home. I hope I am this good with the new program that will be starting at the beginning of the New Year and look forward to sharing those thoughts and the progress we make.
