Yestrerday was my son's first day at preschool ! So excited for him and he was excited to be going! We made it a big thing for him, daddy even went into work late so he could be there with us to send our son off to his first day. He was in a great mood but very sleepy when we left....I was happy for both! LOL

My day was not limited to seeing him off to school. I had my own agenda that was school related! I am now a Art teacher assistant (Volunteer) one the two days that my son is in preschool! What is really nice about that is that I am in the same scool as he is.

My first day was exciting for me, I met the 8th grade classes that I will be with for the better part of the year. I didn't get to do a whole lot, I did help some but with the subject of there art project being Ben Day dots/Pop art it is not something that is exteremly hard...as it shouldn't be for a first project. Though I did little while there I was far to excited to be bored! LOL

Tomorrow (Thursday) I meet the 6th grade classes, who will need my help more. They are doing One point perspective (for those who are not aware of what that is: The point in which all lines vanish to on the horizon. EX: if you stand in the road and look straight ahead, the two lines that make up the road seem to get closer to each other as they reach the horizion line, thus making the road seem smaller and smaller giveing it depth) I am real excited about this class because I get to share some of my related art work with them and show them what being patient and practiceing can do. I will be bringing in a painting and some sketches to show them. I am also excited because I will be able to share my knowledge more with them, according to the teacher and the art she showed me from them they need help!  That is going to be fun for me big time!

I am hoping that this volunteer position will lead to bigger and better and more permentant things. No I do not want to be a teacher full time(at least not forever), but I do believe that it will help me accomplish other goals, even if this does not go beyond what it is now I think it will be good to have had the chance to do this!

Anyway in another update

my pooch is just about to the point of 100% clearance of Parvo...it has been a long wait but I am happy that the end is in sight and that we have come so far with so much luck! tech. we are past the two week mark since last exposure and the 2 1/2 week mark for her shots to have made her immune. So just the rest of this week and we are good! I think that we will make it just fine....thanks to all for your prayers, It helped obviously! Her chances were so slim to not get it and yet she hasn't! Thank you!
