Hello Stranger*







Alright, I already know what you guys are thinking…I’ll just say it…



HELLO STRANGER!
Yes, I know it’s been a long time. In fact, too long I’d say. It’s hard get this blog updated between the cuddling, loving, and wet slobbery kisses. : ) Ok, and the less attractive things like Dirty diapers, spit up, and temper tantrums (and I’m not talking about Mikah hehe)… But, I wouldn’t trade my life for anything else.

Well, Ill try to catch yall up without writing my infamous novels that I’ve know to write. So, ill make this brief and to the point. I think I’ll have title for each section. Here goes nothing.

JOB:

Right now I am loving my job as a TA at Levelland ABC. I work with Rebecca Morris who is terrifically anal and loves her job. We have completely different personalities but it works because I’m super laid back and she isn’t. So, I’m learning and loving what I’m doing. I am honestly shocked by how much these kids absorb daily. Of coarse there are silly moments but they work hard daily and I have grown close to each of them. Yes, I have been called “momma” more than once, but it’s always followed by “Im just kiddin.” These kids are awesome and my heart is called to be with these youngsters. But, God will place me where he wants me, obviously. Also, I am coaching the Levelland High School girls golf…These girls are great and it’s fun to be apart of their team for the mean-time. I will be “replaced” once the boys basketball season is completed.

SCHOOL:
As you all know I graduated in May of 2009 and decided that I wanted to teach so I entered into the post-back program the first of August. I have completed that program and now I’m work my hardest to pass the Certification test in order to be able to teach my very own class. My goal is to have all of them passed by April (Reason will be stated later.) I have been trying to balance work, school, golf and studying…and it’s not joke! So, extra prayers are always welcomed ;)

MOTHERHOOD:
Ok, So… I can not even put this category into words. It’s amazing, exhausting, overwhelming, exciting, scary, fun…emotional. Mikah is the best. He could possibly be the most amazing baby ever : ) Ok, Im the mom- I can say that right? The past seven months have been such a roller coaster. But, Oh my gosh- I love this little boy more than I could have ever imagined. I think about him every second of the day and I have to try my hardest to not go to the daycare to check on him instead of eating lunch daily. But, I love my daycare and I was very blessed with them. How can my heart sink every time I see a “gummy” smile? I love being a mommy and although I feel completely overwhelmed and often lonely, I would give everything up again to be with him.

MISCELLANIOUS:
Well folks, Im still living with my parents and I need every ounce of help they give me. I know my mother is probably exhausted but I don’t know what I’d do without her. She takes Mikah to daycare in the morning and watches him willingly after school while I’m at golf. She’s a great help. And “Pap-poo” has been suddenly been captured by the other little man in our life. It’s hilarious. Those two are little buddies and have some very precious moments. ALSO, reason I want to pass my test by August is because I’m heading to Las Vegas for Jacki’s (My buddy from Perryton) sister, Jessica’s wedding and I want to have something to celebrate :o))

I do have one piece of my mind that I want to share.
…People, We do not have time to feel sorry for ourselves. Life is too short, there are things that need to be taken care of, people that need to be loved. So, stopping to think about all of the things that need to be fixed is unnecessary. Things could always be worse; people are always going to have problems. So, live life with a purpose. SMILE, Love, give, and pray. That’s the only way we are going to make it. ;) Ok, I feel better.

Love ALL of yall and I promise that I won’t stay away for to long.
Smiles, Chelsea
