Just wanted to blog to let everyone know what's going on with me. I got the last week off and was able to hang out for 9 straight days, it was so wonderful that I considered quitting my job and doing nothing for a living, but instead I interviewed for a second job and was hired on! I will be working with a family who have a 15 month old down syndrome daughter. I am actually pretty excited to spend time with a sweet little girl, with a sweet little spirit and who doesn't have a sassy little mouth. In all honesty I'm actually really excited to have a little extra income every month.
This week is Jacob's spring break so he has been spending his mornings sleeping in, playing video games, and talking about how he may never go back to school (he will be back next Mon.).
recently I was called to be a teacher in Relief Society and will be teaching for the first time on Sunday, I am completely Nervous! I have been sick all week and have gotten almost nothing accomplished on my lesson, so i think Sunday's lesson is going to be pretty awful! Please wish me luck that I don't tank.

I hate teaching & I know it will be my calling someday just because Heavenly Father likes to tease me :)
You will do great!!!! Hey, you can always find a movie, that totally takes the load off of you :) Hee Hee!
p.s. I still have your sunglasses:)
I'm sure that you'll do a great job with your lesson. Just ask a lot of questions and let everyone else do your work for you, that's what I do.
Prayer is the best preparation. And Elspeth is right, a lesson is much more successful and satisfying if the class as taught each other with their experience in inspiration. Don't ask yes/no questions and remember to wait at least 6 seconds after asking the question and don't be tempted to jump in and answer it yourself when it takes class members time to process it. Sometimes an example or story will inspire or remind class of experiences that they will share.
One other piece of advise--remember that you are the teacher and don't let class members lead the discussion away from the purpose of the lesson.
I've been in RS classes with you and know you have great insight--trust yourself.
