It seems that most of my recent posts haven't been too informative as to the things going on in our life. So I thought I would give a brief run-down of our happenings.
Rebecca was sick with an upper respiratory virus a couple of weeks ago, and she has continued with a lingering (but consistently diminishing) cough since. She is feeling well though and really only coughs now after she has been running around like a crazy mad girl. She is still going to dance class on Wednesday mornings. We had to switch to a new studio for the fall session, and although I liked the setup of her old studio better, she is totally enamored of her teacher. I also think her current teacher teaches them more actual skills. One of our recent family traditions has been to watch Dancing With the Stars on Monday nights. Rebecca loves dancing along with them and somewhat mimicking their steps! She continues to enjoy doing crafts and learning new things. She does very well writing many of her letters, although she is just a smidge stubborn about wanting to do things her way rather than in the way that they are conventionally done! She is as sweet and funny as ever, and she makes every day so much fun.
Ramy is doing very well. He currently has two murder trials that he is preparing for, and at least one of them is occupying a lot of his thoughts. Weekends have included a lot of football watching and watching when Filipino-hero Manny Pacquiao fights. This interest in boxing is one that I do not share with my darling husband. I don't find the sport interesting or exciting in any way, so I am happy for him to go watch the fights at someone else's house!
I have been quite busy lately. I accepted a job teaching online for the University of Phoenix. I had to do a four-week course in online facilitation for them, and it has been it's own part-time job! Luckily, I finished with that tonight actually. I will be teaching a senior-level undergraduate class entitled Biological Foundations of Psychology.I am still working part-time at Casa Colina. I go in to the clinic two days a week, and I do the writing of my reports (and the editing of the reports of students I am supervising) from home. It's a great place, and I get to see a lot of interesting cases. Recently, I've been doing a lot of evaluations for dementia and for chronic neurological illnesses (e.g., Multiple Sclerosis). It's interesting and enjoyable work, and I certainly can't complain about the schedule, because I have lots of time to be at home with my favorite three-year-old! Allegedly, I am preparing to take the EPPP. My application for licensure as a psychologist in Alabama is being processed by their Board of Psychology (they only meet the first Friday of odd numbered months), and I expect they will approve me to take the exam in January. My studying has, thus far, essentially consisted of listening to the CDs in the car and in glancing at some study flash cards on my iPad. I have a stack of practice exams but haven't actually done anything with them. I am hoping the knowledge will be absorbed by osmosis and am apparently not too concerned about it. As for my job in Alabama, it is still a waiting game. Things still look good, but everything is on hold due to there being no budget and who knows what.
That's pretty much it for us. Life is good for all of us, and we are very blessed!
