I'm still kicking

Folks, I am still here just extremely busy, like you don't have that kind of life either. Between homeschooling, Daddy, TKD, (and I just added a free design to do at tournament.), Dr's appts. and trying to keep up with the house there just aren't enough hrs. in a day some days. But I am trying out some new routines to see if they will work better for this crazy woman. I will try to find some time soon to post some pictures.

Teach Day

Weds. was my 1st teach day at TKD. Had a case of the nerves because I did not really know what to expect (I like to know details ahead of time.) and had never done anything like this. Sure, I have subbed at our local school and at Hudsons Pre-K but this is different. One thing is it is evening hrs. and these kids (& teachers) are kept active. Mr. Greene talked with me just before the 1st class about what to expect and what my duties would be and told me he thought I would be great at this. It will take time to learn all the kids names and build a relationship with them but I am looking forward to that. Eventually, I would like to teach TKD for a living, when Hudson is older (he wants to join instructor training, too). How cool would that be to have something we can both enjoy together when he is a teenager (assuming he will still think it is cool to have a Mom doing and teaching TKD).



Speaking of TKD, Hudson and I will be ramping up our classes and private lessons because we have a tournament in a couple of weeks. We both just got new colored belts so that means we both have new forms to learn and Hudson needs to learn his sparring steps. So, alot to get done in such a short time, especially for those of us who can't remember what we had or if we even had breakfast!!!! LOL

WOO-HOO!!! I did it!!!

I got my blue belt in TKD friday night at awards ceremony. (Sorry about 1st Friday girls. Love you still.) That's a good thing but the biggest deal about it is......I met a goal in TKD, I joined the Instructor training program. Yesterday was spent at TKD in the instructor training and Weds. will be my 1st day to work at TKD. I am so excited. (& yet very nervous.) I have some awesome instructors and I have picked one for a mentor. She ROCKS. I hope to be 1/4 the Instructor that she is. Next testing I will test to become senior blue and test to get my red stripe as an instructor. I cannot believe the turns my life has made. Never in a Million yrs. would I have thought my goals would involve martial arts or teaching martial arts. MY MY what a little maturity will do to us.

Don't tell anyone

Sssssh, don't tell anyone but Hudson & I have enjoyed a quiet 2 days at home. C was on call yesterday & spent about 12 hrs. @ work, so we did some housework, playing outside and playing with the puppy. I think the part he liked best was when I let him watch the Super Bowl last night, he picked his team before the game (Steelers) and cheered them on and kept up with the downs and stuff. I don't know where he gets it from because C only watches a few bowl games and that is it. But my son absolutely loves sports. I wished I had the video camera out when he did his victory dance after the Steelers won the game. It was too funny.



I think I am about to get my groove on with the Homeschooling thing. We both are enjoying that aspect of life so far. Hudson loves spending time with me (go figure!) I will enjoy that as long as I can.

Now on to some serious stuff......PRAY for my Daddy, the tumor on his back has grown 1cm in 2 wks while receiving chemo, not good, the Dr. is going to try to remove what he can without putting him to sleep. And they will start a new chemo on Monday of next week. Please pray for him and a little boy who believes in Jesus and knows in his heart that Jesus will heal his PaPaw so they can do things together again. I know the Lord may heal my Daddy but I also know that he may heal him by taking him to heaven and I just pray that I am strong enough to help my son through this time with his faith in Jesus still intact. At times like this I feel so inferior.
