Tutoring

HELP! Tutoring is officially taking over my life! Who would have ever thought? Not me! I have already had to turn away several students and am still working at least 16 hours a week. If I wanted to (which I don't) I easily have enough students wanting to be tutored for me to tutor every day from 3pm - 9pm! It is so crazy. It's hard to turn people away because they need help, and it's good money... but I never even see my husband anymore until Saturdays! It's hard to juggle schedules with tutors, Austin, Devon, church...I just wish that I could set my schedule and leave it, but apparently that doesn't work out so well when students have tests that they are freaking out about. I just wasn't expecting this kind of result. But the good side to it is that I can finally afford the Vinyl Cutter Plotter that I want, and for those of you who are wondering the answer is yes, I am planning on getting in hopefully this week, so if you want stuff for/or by Christmas let me know. Hopefully this vinyl thing will go as well as the tutoring thing. That would be GREAT! But I am not counting on it. Even if I just use the cutter plotter for me and not make any money on it I will still be happy that I got it. I just think vinyl lettering is so cool, and I love it for home decor.

As for other things, I CAN'T WAIT FOR THANKSGIVING!!!! I am SO excited. We leave a week from yesterday and it won't come fast enough. So we are driving from Southern California to Kaysville, Ut. We have decided to do it in two days instead of one so we have a hotel for the way there and one for the way home, and as sad as it sounds my husband is more excited about staying in the hotels then the actual trip. He is so weird sometimes! For thanksgivings it's more like a family reunion for my mom's side of the family. Every other year we have a big Thanksgiving and all my aunt and uncles and cousins come. Almost all of the family is going to be there. I have one cousin that might not come, one aunt who may not make it and a couple of my siblings that can't come, but that still leaves too many people to count! We always have so much fun, and eat good food and play games. I just can't wait!

Austin, oh my. He is being such an ANGEL lately. I really can't believe it. He is so content to play by himself. He just crawls (army style only) around the house but he doesn't get into things that he shouldn't. The only things that are really off limits are the bathroom (because it has the kitty liter box) and the cords for the surround sound. Once he learned - through a couple of trips to time out - that those were off limits he totally stays clear of them and just plays in his own little world. He just crawls around and plays with the kitten and laughs and talks to himself. I just can't get over how good he is being and I hope that it stays this way at least for Thanksgiving.

Well that is all the time I have for complaining and rambling today. Thanks to everyone else who write on their own blogs. I have found a couple of them really enjoyable lately! Good work and keep on blogging.
