Jason's Cast

Here is Jason's cast. Broken arm from falling from the jungle gym at school. He's been so super brave. He has to keep it on for 6 weeks. However, after 2 weeks they are going to cut it off and see if he can rotate his wrist. If he can, he'll get a cast that does not cover his elbow. If he cannot, back to this type of cast.

The 411 on the Schroeders

So what's happening with us...

Jeff is working day shift, YEAH!

Alli is such a fabulous reader that she is in an advanced readers course (which by the way, we didn't know).

Jason is also doing great with reading! They both take 15 minutes at night to read to us.

I am teaching 2 classes this session. Of course I am loving it! I've had to do some tweaking of my schedule and it's still a little chaotic.

One of my dear Cupcakes is leaving the island next week. It is very sad to see a friend leave. I am super excited for her and her family though because they are going to AMERICA! And they will be able to see their family!!!

Today is the first day of the kids' Spring break. Nothing exciting yet but that is going to be short lived. We have a week of fun with friends coming up. I will do my best to document the fun with my camera and post on the blog.

I'm tired of being on the computer, especially since I work on it.

Later Taters!

Blah Blah Blah

Another picture of cupcakes.

These Zoo Lunchies Bags by Skip Hop are so cute! http://www.skiphop.com/product/zoolunchies.html

Why didn't I think of the personalized Guess Who game?!?!!?

Love me some cupcakes!

Crazy Modern Quilts

I love this cover on this book!! I really want to make a quilt some day.

Been Awhile??

It's been awhile... I know. I live with that constant feeling of "you should post to your blog... your people NEED YOU".

First off, although nobody asked MY opinion, I am sick of Dr. Laura. I used to appreciate her boldness. Seems like every time I read her blog, she's just down right rude. I mean SERIOUSLY who asked you?? I know she gets paid and such and is probably a very nice person. I just don't see how she can be so mean all the time.
Okay so here a few fun things I found around the web today. I'm a HUGE NERD and love to read everything. I'm crafty (or wish I was more) and love the creativity that God has blessed this world with.


These bee cards are from http://triciarennea.blogspot.com/2010/04/just-buzzing-by.html. I just love ALL her work!

It's easier to post everything individually.

What was I thinking?

This week is the last of the current session at work. The next classes start on the 4th of April. I will be teaching 2 classes instead of one. I just found out 12 hours ago and feel as if I am going to lose my mind trying to figure all this out. We're talking 80+ students' papers to grade 1-2 times per week. 4 hours of live chat sessions. 2 hours of "Office Hours"...

Scrapbooking Thursdays ends this Thursday. The only other day that I have anything is on Tuesdays, Bible Study. I love bible study! The kids and I just started back to church on Sundays. Why does it seem that I won't have enough time? Why am I overwhelmed? Why do I feel guilty going to Bible Study and spending some time with friends when I should be cleaning, doing laundry or grading papers?

I already spent 15+ hours a week on one class.... so 2 will be 30+ hours... Sounds like a "almost" full-time job. Why is this so difficult to understand?

So the facts are:
2 classes
30+ hours a week
Double pay
Double Work
Double papers to grade
Major cutbacks in my already minimal social life

Maybe this will make more sense tomorrow.

For now... I'm going to read books with the kids.
