Along Came A Spider...

1. There is a spider in my bathroom. The first time I saw her I decided to kill her the next time I was in there. That was weeks ago, and now I don't really want to kill her. Those who know me well will probably recall that I really like to keep bugs and other creepy things as pets (like Sami) and I give them names and feed them, etc. So, tonight I am officially naming my bathroom spider...Wendy. That seems like a good name for a bathroom-dweller! Keep ckecking here for non-regular updates. 2. And now, on to Jesse. My little man can now walk about 5 steps. He started walking about a week ago. I am trying to get a video of him, but the little guy is his father's son, and doesn't like to be recorded. So that will come as soon as we can wrangle him for a minute or two and get him to walk! He's also copying what we do a lot more and loves talking, screaming, and grabbing faces. 3. Today I accidentally left Sami free to roam the house. All day I worried about what I would find when I got home. She isn't a trustworthy dog yet, and has a taste for stuffed animals and xbox accessories. But when I walked into the house and looked around I saw no evidence that she had even been there! She got a treat because she was so good! 4. Casey shot and killed his first deer of the season last Saturday. It's a pretty young one, and a little small, but we're still going to have some good meat from it. Right now he's in the shed butchering and packaging it. I actually don't mind eating deer, and so far everything that I've tried has tasted very similar to beef, which makes it more palatable. 5. A lot of people ask me about school. I have the very best group of students in the world! They are polite, kind, enthusiastic, and fun. I don't think I've ever been able to joke this much with a group of students before. It sure makes going to work easier, especially when I have to leave my baby (sad). 6. I joined a walking group at school and have to walk 10,000 steps/day. It's harder than I thought. **no pictures tonight because i'm too lazy to go get my camera. maybe next time...I'm outtie!**
