In case you were wondering....

Well, folks, an update on me! I now am the official holder of a master's of education degree in elementary education, with a minor in special education. I am only four courses and a thesis away from a master's of arts in Reading, with a specialization in ESL, with a split minor in psychology and rhetoric/linguistics/composing. Go ME!

I'm applying to the PHD program in Educational Psychology. Yippee!

Well, welcome to 2009!

Well, welcome to the new year, fellow readers (and lady readers for all you PC types) We are greeted with a new presidency, a sense of strenght, huge debt, promise for the future...Wait a minute? Did I say, "huge debt"?

Actually I did. I inherited my own great deal of huge debt. I inherited three more girls, two grandkids, a newly married son, and a busted relationship. Plus three B's to boot. Go me. Humph....

Yeah, folks had all this hope for the future, yet all they ended up with was writing the auto industry a fat check. And yet, I and my kids are going to inherit their debt...

First off, I would like you guys to meet my girls--Abbie, Chloe and Lily, and my son Nick.

I think that their pictures are in the top left. If not, I will adjust it later. Yes, I have a mountain of debt. And it looks as though graduation is growing further away....Yet, I am still studying my butt off, as my health will allow me.

I am still studying elementary education and reading. I am also applying to the school psychology program. I want my doctorate, but that is in the near future. Right now, I just want this stimulus thing to work and I want to feed my growing brood. Off with me--to the libarry!

After a long silence....

Well, I have been silent since August. Not a lot going on in my world--just about done with my classes for the semester. For all those that even read my blog, I was very upset about the tide that education has taken in Texas.

There is however, hope for us yet. We are getting some support for a minimum tax increase. That means the school districts in Texas will get a little help.

And yes, folks I stand corrected. Charter schools do work. I took a class in the Mesquite Metroplex Center that renewed my faith in the system.

I didn't complete the class. That will be next semester. But I did get my eyes opened to how the other "half" live.

East Texas Schools should be very proud of the fact that their schools are not crowded like those of the Metroplex. Greenville has even had a major restructuring because of the TAKS business. I hope deep down in my heart that Pittsburg I. S. D. will have a similar thing happen to them.

Onward and upward folks!
