Holiday Randoms

> I spent my entire break at my parent's house. It was absolutely wonderful. When I stay there I actually get rest because they'll entertain Judah from me while I sleep in. One day I slept until 11! It was pure bliss.

> Thanksgiving was great, but I have a problem with my aunts. My ma has 2 sisters here that came, and my dad has one that came over. That makes for 6 additional people that came to celebrate Thanksgiving at my parents house. Not one of them brought anything or even offered to bring anything. That doesn't sit well with me especially since they took plates home. If you come empty handed then you need to leave empty handed. My parent's host almost every family function, because their siblings are being way too lazy and selfish to plan it and they rarely even get a thank you.  I'm supposed to host Christmas, but 20 people aren't coming to my house empty handed. I like being with family, but everybody needs to contribute!

> This week at school we have a placement meeting for our difficult student. They're trying to put him out of our school into a much smaller special needs school. He actually has tons of potential, but his behavior is keeping him from succeeding. If you won't wear the uniform, or come on time, or stay in class, or stay awake in class, or listen to anything, then there's no need for you to be here.

> There was a murder two streets over from my school this morning. I can hear the helicopter right now. I hope nobody from here was involved. Many of the students here are heavy in the streets.
>  
> Alaia laughed for the first time over the weekend. Of course, my sister was the recipient of the first laugh again. It was hilarious because she doesn't know how to laugh. It sounded like she was choking. Now I'm on a quest to get a laugh from her.

> Judah's going to school part time in 2014. I don't know how we're paying for it or where he's going, but I'm going to make it happen. He absolutely loves going to class on Sunday and I want him to be in a more disciplined setting more often. When he wakes up on Sunday he comes in our room and immediately says "Good morning Mommy. I ready to go to class and play nice with my friends." I love it! I'm going to research schools this week and start praying on it.

> MrC and I are going to do a family vision board this year. We have been really off track the past year, but we're ready to get back on it now. I'm excited to greet 2014.

> Since one of my students is trying to read this, I'm just going to post now. I hope I don't have too many typos.
