Procrastination

So one of my many faults is procrastination. I have a tendancy to put off what needs to be done until the last minute. This bad habit has begun to show itself at school. Mainly in my English class. This class is the one that focus' on writing a big research paper. My instructor is a goofy kid who is in the process of writing his disertation and so had some time on his hand and decided to teach. He tends to go off on tangents and we really don't seem to be learning a whole lot. Anyway I decided to write my paper on Asperger's Syndrome. With Trent being diagnosed I thought it would help to get a little more info. The last couple of short essays have been ok, I mainly described what Asperger's is. Now it gets more in depth and I am not sure the direction I want to go. I have been doing research all night and I can't seem to locate anything else besides several different and yet the same descriptions of Asperger's. So I decided to update my blog. Ahh procrastination!!!

Life is crazy hectic these days. What is it with these teachers. We spend the first few weeks doing nothing and then all of a sudden they all decide to get pro-active and now I am swimming in homework. Luckily work is slow so I have had a lot more time off. This really is the perfect job for me right now.

The kids are doing well. Corbins team is doing better this year, although they have had a few upsets the last few games. He is now trying to decide on colleges for next year. So far he is thinking about Utah State or Snow, they both have good engineering departments. It's weird to think of him in college. When did he grow up? Trevors team is doing great! They are undefeated and having a great season so far. I am still hopeful that he will want to play next year but it's not looking very promising. Kortney loves Jr. High. She is doing well and her social life just continues to grow. There are so many girls her age in the neighborhood that she is always with someone. I am just glad that so far they are all good girls and staying out of trouble. Now if she could just learn how to tell time. Her latest and greatest desire is to have a cell phone. What is with all these little kids thinking that they need to be connected at all times. She wants it to txt all her friends, whats wrong with using the phone? Trent just joined the black belt club in karate. He gets to learn weapons, sparring, and two extra lessons a month. He is doing quite well and is now a purple belt. Needless to say he really enjoys it. Korinn is a very busy little girl and bossy as ever. I spend more time reminding her that I am mom than is necessary. She really wants to take cheer and tumbling lessons but unfortunately the only time they are offered at the place by us is on tues. I work tues. so she will have to wait until winter.

As you can see life is good, we are all busy and that makes for a crazy schedule. We are currently planning a trip to D.C. in a few weeks. That will be fun, I hope. We're very excited.
