Decorative Clipboard
Today, I had some free time on my hands. I decorated my clipboard. My clipboard serves as a holder for my cleaning schedule and holds my assessment papers when I am in the classroom.
I chose a purple color scheme, since my recipe binder is purple.
Step 1
Choose your color scheme.
Take a sponge with Mod Podge on it and coat the entire surface. After you coat the surface, place the paper onto the clipboard. Press down firmly on the paper to smooth out any bumps you may have. Let this dry for 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 2
Turn over the clipboard and apply Mod Podge to the back of the clipboard. After this place the paper onto the clipboard. Press down firmly on the paper to smooth any bumps you may have.
Step 3
Decorate your clipboard. I decorated my clipboard with stickers from the scrapbook paper pack.

Describe 3 legitimate fears you have and explain how they became fears.
1. Working in retail for the rest of my life.
Every Saturday and Sunday when I leave the boys to go to work, I die inside. I miss being able to spend the day with Branden. I don't want to work at a job where I am disrespected everyday and treated like I don't have a brain. In Louisiana, you are often looked down upon when working in retail. I have worked so hard the past seven years to put myself through college and beat cancer. When I graduate I hope to find a job and leave the retail world.
2. Being a working mother.
I struggle everyday when I bring C man to daycare. I always wonder if I am making the right decision to help my family financially, so that we can save money for a house, a new car, and other things in life. I know that I am not alone in this struggle, but it sure is hard.
3. Getting rid of old school stuff.
I have this quest for knowledge and this quest has made me keep old school stuff. I am scared that I will forget something that I know or something that is very important for me to know. I am finally letting go of old papers, but it is very hard for me to do.

Christmas and New Years
Let me begin with Christmas. Christmas eve I was off of work, which enabled us to participate in Christmas eve activities with my dad's side of the family. It was so nice to spend time with family, especially since we never get to see my dad's side of the family. We ate food, went over the story of Christmas, and opened presents. Of course, we had to take LOTS of pictures. Santa's helpers also put together Connors train table and there was NO fussing between the two of us.
Fast forward to Christmas day, Connor woke up around 6:00 and all of us presents were opened by 6:30. After hours of playing with his toys, we went to my grandparents house to eat lunch. This was bittersweet because my grandfather passed in 2007 and my grandmother passed in 2010. After lunch, we went to my parents house. We opened presents there. After this, Branden and I went to the movies to watch War Horse( amazing movie, it is a must see). Then we made our way over to my aunts house for supper. We had a Just Dance tournament. We played an elimination bracket. The final was between my cousin and I.
I have no pictures from this I wish I did. Once I find my camera cord, I will upload pictures from Christmas and pictures of Branden and Connors presents that I made.

I can finally relax
Last week was finals week. A rough and tedious week of studying, sleeping, and trying to survive. I did survive and I am one step closer to my goal of becoming an elementary teacher.
I am so excited that work hours are starting to pick up. I may have money to buy a few Christmas gifts.
I am making Connor alphabet magnets and plan on making Branden a few gifts. I will need to be sneaky about this. So I will keep quiet about this until after Christmas.
I have made some goals for next Christmas:
Make an advent calendar
Visit Acadian Village
Visit the Zoo to see the light
I am starting to organize the apartment to make next semester easier for Branden and I. I am taking pictures and documented everything that I have done. Off to organize !!
