We have arrived! It's the last day of school! Thursday and Friday are staff development days - but the kids will be gone! Hooray!!!

10 more days - I think... I hope I can do it. Everyday closer to the end becomes more painful =)! I have bus duty all week too. Must hide from principal today - haven't turned in next year's contract! Off to the Ghetto!

I promise to be more positive in T minus 12 days!

One more month peeps! Woot!!! I think I can make it. It's actually been a pretty good week. The job hunt is starting to heat up, making connections and what not ( Read more... )

I just had a fourth grader stand 3 inches away from my face and yell "You better shut up talking to me."

I had a 1st grader who couldn't handle sitting in a chair (he kept rocking back and forth in it) so I made him sit on the floor, well then he started rolling around and kicking people, so I made him stand in the ( Read more... )

A good night has been had by all. We had some kick ass dinner, I made lasagna and salad and garlic bread. Everette and Cheryl brought some wine and chocolate chip cookies. We had a great time. I don't thing there's anything better than good friends and good food. I only wish there could have been more of our favorite peeps with us ( Read more... )
