So, did you all think I’d fallen off the face of the earth?:-)  Well, a week after my grad classes ended, we went on vacation to Arkansas for a week.  It turned out to be very eventful!  DeLaney had a severe ear infection, and Julian had a double ear infection and a massive asthma attack that sent us to the ER.  It was crazy, but we still had a great time.  It was a beautiful setting in the mountains, and we took a day trip to Hot Springs which is a neat little tourist town.  It was REALLY hot while we were there, but luckily we had a nice air conditioned condo AND a pool within walking distance.  We enjoyed ourselves.  I also got a transfer with my job.  I am SO excited that I will now be teaching 8th grade math which is what I like the best.  I am excited to have the opportunity to be teaching for an online school which will allow me to be home with the kids most of the time.  DeLaney goes to preschool three mornings a week, and Julian will go to a sitter during those hours.  Other than that, they’ll be home with me:-)  It will be challenging, I am sure, but I am really excited to be able to earn a year of State teacher’s retirement AND get a full salary while still being at home.  I will have NO gas cost and limited child care costs.  I will be making less on paper than I did when I taught in a traditional school, but I will make more in the end.

Uppercase living is crazy right now!  I have a party tonight, tomorrow night, and Saturday afternoon.  ALSO, really exciting is that the company just launched demonstrator websites!!!!  It is now MUCH MUCH MUCH easier to visit and look at the products.  No more “customer corner”, but instead, you can visit at http://lisajordan.uppercaseliving.net.  Notice, there is no WWW, so watch that.  I’d love it if you’d add me to your list of favorites!  There are still great opportunities to make extra money with the company, and I’d love to talk to you about it.  I am really enjoying myself, and the money is pretty good.  I was skeptical when I signed up, but it really is.  The great thing is that other than buying supplies, I don’t use that account to pay out.  I just keep putting more money IN.  That should build up rather quickly. I  am trying to save enough to send our family to Disney in 2010.  I don’t think that should be a problem:-)  I’d love to talk to any of you who either like the product and would like to order something or who might be interested in selling yourself.  It is really fun, and I am enjoying it a lot. 

Well, I have a full day!  DeLaney had a big sleepover last night with two friends, and I figured something out.  She’s gonna kill me as a teenager:-)  The three of them are ages four, four, and five, and they didn’t go to bed until almost 11.  Then they were up talking and giggling from 4 until 5 am when I MADE them go back to sleep.  It was cute, but I am exhausted.  AND I have a million things to do today.  SO, Have a great day, and don’t forget to check out my new website:-)
