Happy Fall

I can not believe that September is almost over. What a month it has been. Started the month sick as a dog with my annual back to school sinus infection. What a way to spend Labor Day. But, I did manage some fun. My sister, Angie was home and we went furniture shopping for my den. I had exactly in my head what I wanted. Comfy, cushy, and RED. Well I found it for a great deal and have been enjoying my "reading couch" for several weeks.

While the calendar may say Fall, its still summer here in GA. My air conditioning went out last week. The repair man came and told me we would have to wait until the next day for the unit to cool off. So, Barney and I packed up and headed to mom and dads for the night. He loved the field trip. The next day the repair man came in the midst of a monsoon. I am talking Biblical type rains here. But he got it working. As he worked I watched the house across the street from me flood. That is how bad the rain was. And the rain continued. We have had almost 11 INCHES of rain this month and its raining right now. I feel like I should be growing webbed feet or at least live in Seattle.

School at TSA is going well. I love our new headmaster. It is like working in a different place and God is doing some awesome things in our midst. This week will be crazy cause its homecoming, but we will survive.

Grad school is ok. I am actually beginning to like my reading class. The teacher is really neat. My first observation is Monday, so please pray for that and pray that I find motivation to work on my portfolio.

Randomness

If you know me well, you know that I can sometimes be quite random. Tonight is one of those nights. It might have to do with the fact that there is so much going on in my brain, or the cold medicine I am taking thanks to the annual back to school sinus infection.

My mortgage company ceased operating in August. Now, how did I find this out? Not through a friendly letter or e-mail, I was LOCKED OUT of the online payment system. So after spending a total of 2 hours over three days of trying to get through, this afternoon I am told that the company was sold to Bank of America and here is the phone number. Thankfully, I got a very helpful (what a suprise) person on the phone who walked me through the whole process of getting a new online account set up. Of course, in the mail today was a letter from BOA telling me what had happened. It would have been nice to know about this say three weeks ago!!!!

School is going well. My history kids are so interactive in class and we are having a good time. They seem to love class and are learning alot. The fun is beginning though because my supervising teacher for my masters will start visiting soon. Cue sarcasm They have been threatened within an inch of their lives to be on their best behavior. We will PARTY in December when its all done!!!!!! I have PROMISED them that.

Grad school is a pain in my butt. I literally hate the thought of going to class. Only GCSU would do this. We are getting a new professor after Labor Day so for the first three weeks, we have had a sub. What craziness. But December is coming....
