Holy Crap, it's been 4 months since I blogged and probably over 7 months since I blogged anything worthwhile.  Life has been so busy.  I am still working the p/t waitress thing - which I am SOOOOO tired of doing.  (Can't wait to see the backside of that door...)  I am also subbing A LOT of the children's Montessori school.  I really LOVE that and I am good at it.  I now do their extended care program p/t.  It has been a blast cause I have been doing lots of art lessons tied in with science lesson.  FUN!  And I have started working on my Montessori Certification via a correspondence course.  This is on top of still considering myself a SAHM.  Crazy - but mostly good crazy.

The school knows that I am getting my Montessori Cert.  I am pretty sure that they may offer me a full time position for this fall and if not this year, def next year.  I really love it there.  The children are awes, I love the methodology of teaching and I really like and enjoy the other teachers.  They usually start the children at 3, but have started as young as 2.5 yrs.  Susanna will be 2.5 then and she is almost ready now.  (Oh my Susanna... but I will get to the kids....)

On the spiritual front, I was studying with a group that shares my pagan views.  However, it ended up being a bit of an ego-fest.  So, I am still on my path - but once again a more solitary path.  I am OK with this.  Ben and I can raise the kids with a strong Earth-centric view of the world while still understanding and appreciating the beauty and differences of others.  Who cares how we climb the mountain as long as we climb.  I am taking Samantha to the Women's festival again this year and I will be teaching some of the girls stuff.  That is going to be very cool!

Family Front:

Ben is doing really well at his job.  He is the Manager of his store now.  Technology is his thing - so he is happy there.  :)  And we are still trying to get out for a date 4 times a year, lol.  So in the mean time, we play WOW together.  :)

Samantha is 6 - OMG, when did that happen???  She is bright, smart, stubborn and beautiful.  She is a natural leader and loves anything relating to science.  She is constantly digging up bugs and we have more habitats in our house!  She is reading books and thinks nothing of reading my text messages over my shoulder.  She is still playing the guitar but we may take a break for the summer.

Christopher is now 4.  He loves, loves, loves school.  He is in the middle of the mix with the boys - running and playing hard.  He loves computer games, tinker toys and being outside.  He still is my little guy with a million hugs and kisses, but he doesn't sneak into my bed every night anymore.  (Happy and sad...)  He is developing a temper and when he gets made, he bops himself in the head when he thinks we are watching.  Needless to say, this behavior we are working on changing NOW.

And then there is Miss Susanna.  Can you say independent?  She has no idea that she is only 2.  Anything and everything the older two does, she does.  She was potty trained before she turned two.  She speaks and makes her intentions known.  She is so funny - I mean, she actually tells jokes and plays pranks.  Her first words were not Mama or Dada... they were "That's funny."  And FINALLY a child who has my curly hair! 

There is a million more things I could write about, but it is time to brush teeth and get the kids to bed!  I hope everyone is well.  :)
