Getting Better All The Time

Another week has come and gone, at least with a little less excitement this time! Let's see, on Monday I did my very first volunteer day with Derrick in his class. I volunteered from 10:25-11:30, I will admit, I was very skeptical at first. It turned out to be the best thing I've done! I had such a great time, I helped out during "group time". I got to help a group of 5 make a frog puppets. It was so fun, after the puppets were done we played a game & read a book to go along with the puppet. It only made me want to finish my degree and finish what I always wanted to do, be a kindergarten teacher....anyway.

I worked in Fillmore Monday through Wednesday so I got to take Derrick to a from school for 3 days which is always fun.

Thursday was Leroy's birthday! I won't say how old for fear of him killing me! LOL j/k We went out to Olive Garden for their never ending pasta bowl which was ok but so not that great :( But at least he found new Hot Wheels at Walmart afterwards.....that always makes up for anything :)

Today Derrick got a great weekly behavior report! Only one thing he needs to work on and that's taking his time and doing his work neatly. He's just like his mother, doing it sloppy just to get it over with because it's boring. We go over and over this on homework, he needs to slow down and take his time to make it neat. And the fun part of today is I hurt my back at work :( I was lifting a bucket of mail and "snap" there went my back. So now I'm off until Tuesday when I go back to the doctor. I should be fine though, this happened a couple years ago and I was fine with some rest after a few days. The doc gave me a back brace and a back pillow which really helps. At least I have my laptop so I can surf the web in a comfy chair :)
