My maternity leave substitute quit!

The woman has not called me ONE time since she started, and I heard from the teacher across the hall that she quit. I could be really stressed about it, but I am not. Oh well. I'll just deal with the stress and chaos when I get back to school on December 1st.
My sub's replacement is another sub who has a reputation for not having any control of classes. I worked so hard to go to school at the beginning of the year to establish routines and procedures so that my sub wouldn't have too much stress. Apparently the lady was falling asleep at the desk. Of course she wouldn't have control if she's sleeping! She was letting my kids leave at the end of the hour and walk the halls.
Anyway, I'll deal with that later!
Things on the home front are going okay. We started back up with our small group on Sunday nights. That's been fun because we play "pass the baby"....Everybody wants to hold Dawson and snuggle with him.
We are also taking a class called "Grace-Based Parenting" during the third service at church. It's really good, and I think something that will help us parent our children. We've taken several classes over the years about parenting, and we kind of take what works for us, and disregard what doesn't.
Baylor has started soccer again and seems to be enjoying it. His teacher seems pleased with his school work. He just got his first cell phone. I've been very opposed to him having a cell phone, but David added another cell phone line so that he could further separate his personal life from his business life. So Baylor ended up with the freebie phone. His phone number is David's old number....however, the calls to that number are forwarded to the company 800 number. So Baylor can make calls on the phone, but not receive any.
He thinks he is hot stuff because he has a phone. He's been programming numbers into his contacts like crazy. It's kind of cute actually.
Nadia is still talking up a storm and keeping us laughing. This morning I was driving her to Kasie's house and I said something about her being silly because she took off her shoes... I told her not to take her shoes off in the car. She looked at me very seriously and said, "Don't say that, Ok Momma?" I laughed on the inside, of course, and discussed that she needs to listen to me, and that I can tell her what to do!
