SLACKER

So it has been A LONG time since I have BLOGGED ..and I just have been busy with life I never had time to do it..but now that I have a sleeping (sick) baby, my house is clean (minus the computer room) I will rejoin the world of BLOGGERS... HERE WE GO (warning LONG post will follow)

Well where do I begin,
Korbin is now more mobile than ever- he does not believe in crawling anymore-he is too good for that. Walking is his way now-- he is so good at it, it really does make me sad to think he will be one in less than a month (Aug 30th)
I am proud to admit that his first steps did take place in a pool! Russ and i were at 7 peaks in the wave pool, and he took a good three steps between russ's arms and mine. I was so glad Russ got to see him be such a big boy for the first time. i have been worried that he would miss it since he is on the road so much...
He is such a good baby i could not have asked for more- He is currently under the weather now, and life is no fun for the poor kid, he threw up 4 times last night, and i have never heard such a sadder cry. three of the four times were all over me. One would think that being covered in foul smelling liquid would result in more foul smelling liquid..but it didn't, it is amazing what becoming a mom will do to you. This morning when i went to wake him up, he was covered in more foul smelling liquid (came from the other end this time) he had the saddest look on his face. I couldn't resist but to pick him up(wrapped in a blanket) and hold him for a moment while he cried. it is so hard to have such a sad sick baby and not be able to do anything to make him feel better except hold him.. poor kid...

Right now I am done with coaching for the summer, and honestly it does make me sad, we had a really good year this summer. A TON of county records were broken by my swimmers and it was fun to watch them get so excited. I am secretly glad to admit i am not sad for swim lessons to be over for the summer it was a pain to fins teachers and then keep the ones i found... but i am sad to see those paychecks dwindle by a few hundred now that i cant work as much..

I start school on the 27th. I am not excited except for this is my last year of school (ever) aside form being a teacher that is...
i went to meet my teachers that i will be student teaching under and i really like them a lot. That is huge relief bc there are a lot of not so nice people out there. I even did something i thought i would NEVER do.. On the first day of school (elementary) I went and observed the class i would be teaching in. On my way in a man i assumed was the Principal was walking in, i walked right up to him said hello, are the you Principal? he said no he was the VP, ... i introduced my self told him i was going to be student teaching there and shook his hand.. Now i know for many that is not a huge accomplishment,but for me that was a massive move on my part. i am quite proud of my self (russell is too)

I even have a sitter for korbin (kinda) Carli has agreed to watch him once she moves to bluffdale (or surrounding area) and that is going to be the biggest help and relief for me, i am glad to know he will be in such good hands so i can focus on school and not worry about the kind of abuse or trauma he would be exposed to in some day cares............

Russ in in Indiana for the week, and he comes home on Thursday and i cant wait I miss him tons and every time he leaves i realize more and more how much i love him and need him in my life. with him leaving for this week, i have also gained a roommate for the first time in my life!
Alyse is between apartments and i told her she could stay at my house till her new apartment was ready for her! it has been fun and we have done a lot of talking. She started her first job as a 3rd grade teacher on monday and loves it! it is good to hear all her "horror" stories so i have a heads up for next year!

Well i think that is all.. i Will have to post some pictures from this Summer too..i will do that next,m seeing as i have all this free time :)
