Alex just cracked me up this morning. 2 days ago Rocket Dog stole a tub of butter off the counter when I wasn't looking and ate it/chewed it up. So we've been using stick butter because I'm not making a trip to the store just for a new tub.
Alex was very interested in this 'stick butter'. This morning he came into my room and woke me up (yes I use my kids as alarm clocks. I'm not a morning person, I'm not getting out of bed until they make me!!!). He asked if he could have waffles for breakfast....wish 'squished' butter. LMBO!!!! Too cute. Of course he meant stick butter but I think squished butter is funnier.
Haley is in her height of cuteness lately. She's adorable and she knows it. Alex is adorable too but Haley just acts like because she's cute she can get away with anything. She's been tempermental lately too - throwing herself on the floor crying if she doesn't get her way. It's rough being almost 16 months old.
Otherwise not much else is going on. Still plugging away at my doctorate classes. I have my class schedule figured out for next semester, it's not ideal (schedule-wise) but I am pleased that I get to teach two classes, 2 of them 201 which I haven't taught for over a year. So mixing it up a little bit will be nice. I've decided to only take 1 class again for my doctorate. I'm not sure how much trucking work Kent will have this winter. Curry kept them busy all winter, but McLeod doesn't have the coal contracts that Curry did either. And of course less work is less money....plus there is the fact that my required class is on Public Management. Something I know absolutely nothing about. I'm anticipating having to do additional research just to be able to keep up. So my tentative plan is to do 1 class this fall, my 1 required course this summer, and then next fall start on my electives.
Kent is doing well. He's training for McLeod, something that we were told was a bad idea because of the bad pay (they promised a small weekly bonus, which isn't near enough of to cover the loads he drops because the trainee slows him way down). However, they made it right and compensated him for the loss loads. I hope they continue to do so. They really seem to care about their employees and want to take good care of them. Yes the getting up at 4am sucks, and he has never once complained about it. I really did marry the greatest guy on the planet.
