Starting Monday, I will be substitute teaching in Alisa's classroom of 4-year-olds until further notice. I was dreading this happening when the substitute who was scheduled was unable to sub any longer. Alisa will be on maternity leave which could be until the end of the year. Alisa would like to be back to school two weeks after she gives birth but things will probably change once she has her baby in her arms. I love the kids in her class and I know I will enjoy being a lead teacher, but I will miss my regular class so much. Since they'll be graduating this year I might not see them again. It's sad. Part of me is hoping Alisa really will come back after two weeks so I cans spend some more time with my kids, but I know I'd be staying home if I had a baby. I plan on quitting work in my seventh month to nest and prepare. But I've always wanted to be a stay at home mom. Anyways, so I have a lot of planning to do! It will be fun and I have been planning lesson plans anyways in case I get my own classroom next year. Now I can put them to good use.

Other than that, nothing new. Life is good. I've been spending a lot more time with Matt which has been such a blessing. It pains me to see so many marriages fall apart nowadays. It makes me so hopeful for our future knowing that not only are Matt and I in love with each other, but we are deeply in commitment with each other. It's a very reassuring feeling being so secure in our marriage.

I have started jumproping again. I had given it up around November. I don't really know why. But until we get good gym memberships I'll be jumping away at least 20 minutes a day. It's a good feeling getting in some good cardio again. It's a nice exercise because it doesn't hurt my knees and doesn't give me shun splints. I'm getting old. My joints are giving out on me.

I'm at Kristin's right now waiting for her and Brad to finish a quiz. It's quite funny watching them interact and makes me wish I had a brother. I'm glad I have a little brother in Mark now, even if he is all grown. I guess he's the same age as Brad.

Speaking of Mark, Matt downloaded the demo for the UFC videogame. Yes, those boys are very excited for this game. Maybe I'll even start playing it once it officially comes out. It looks kind of fun. But I know Matt will K. O. Me everytime.

Alright. Movie time, almost.
