Well there haven't been any Erin T weeks in my life since I last wrote a blog. Nothing just real exciting is happening in my life right now. Its kind of sad, but good at the same time. We won our first flag football game of the season last week. Is it weird that I find some of my most favorite moments in the middle of football games? Yeah your right...it is normal for me. The Steelers are playing right now and I told my first graders that I would give them extra credit if they watched the game tonight. I almost lost my patience with those 6 year olds today, but I held it together. Then I read something this afternoon that made me rethink the way I teach. It said, "Anytime you devalue people, you question God's creation of them." The worst thing I can do is devalue someone, not just 6 year olds but anyone. I probably devalue people way more than I should. 

I am going to start applying for OT schools at the end of this week and this weekend. All my stuff has to be sent in by Oct. 15. I am so nervous. And Schro was so right about all of us just being scared of the future. I want to apply to a few schools and see what happens. But what if I don't get into any of them? What if I get in to all of them? Do I want to stay in Lubbock? Move to Dallas? Are these even options? Should I waste my time and take 9 hrs. next semester and then find out I didn't get in to OT school? Why can't I just move to the lake and teach kids how to wakeboard and make millions? Life would be so simple. 

Oh and apparently the stock market crashed. So if I ask for money...its because that is where my family's money is...or isn't anymore. Haha. 

I am so excited that my friends want to plan a roadtrip for Christmas. I am so excited. Even if it is just to the windfarm....ok I am going to X the windfarm, it needs to be a little bit farther away.

What happened to our big plans to open a camp? I mean let's do it. You can teach kids to wakeboard. It will be like Kanakuk, but way better!
