A Good Monday!!


Well, Today was a great day! We are off to a great start to the week. 4 days to go!! I asked one of my coworkers how many days til June and she told me this: We get a 4 day weekend in Feb. and it is a short month, 1 week off in March and none in April, this will be our long haul! 1 day in May and then 2 weeks in June and off!!! Hmmm, I think I can deal. And I found out that we may be adding a pm class, which means, I get to pass on 2 of my kidos. Lets see, can I pick??????!!! Probly (misspell intentional) not, BUT, on the other hand, I got word of one of my kidos is moving on Friday. This could be a good sign too! I, of course, will have to most likely keep my new little cherub, and only because he couldn't handle another change and he shouldn't!!! (It still would be nice for me though). Maybe my new little Spanish speaking only girl. So we shall see. I will keep you posted on my fun adventures in kinder!

WOW When is June going to be here??????


OK, I am sooooooooo exhausted. Three weeks ago I got a new student. And if you remember the one I got rid of, he is a jewel compared to this one!!!!! OH MY! I never know what is going to happen each day as I walk into class. This little boy has been through the mill and back to say the least. None of his actions are his fault. He has been in 4 foster care homes that weren't beneficial to him at all. But that aside: He is making me work, let me tell ya! He wants to do what he wants to do when he wants to do it! Need I say more??? I also got a new little girl last week.. First time in school. No English. BUT, the sweetest little thing ever. So when is June coming??? I am ready! I am so happy it's Friday!! Now John & I are going out to dinner with our bestest friends ever~ Jim & Marie. So later! Of to start my much needed weekend!

Visiting Grampa!!

On Monday, John had surgery on his shoulder. He is doing OK, in a little pain, but overall, is dealin'. He will be in a sling for 6 weeks and can't move it for 4 weeks. He is really thrilled about that! Yesterday, Amy and the girls came over to visit Grampa. It made him feel much better!

My Birthday!


Today is my 40+16 birthday! It sounds a little better than saying the real age out loud, don'cha think? So of course, school started back today and I had to go to work on my b-day after being off for 2 weeks. It was a good day though. The kids were really good and I even had a new student today. He actually has blue eyes!!! AND blond hair!! looks like he belongs to me! hehehe. My teacher partner gave me a $50 gift card to my fav place to shop! Anne Taylor LOFT. Can't wait to spend it. I came home to these beautiful roses from my fab husband. The best husband in the whole wide world. Also, thanks to you facebook friends that said Happy Birthday, you all are very special to me!!! We have Sarah's boys and we are going to go out to dinner in a bit to Vinces Speghetti. I have been craving it for ever, so yummy for my tummy here we come! So, see ya'll soon!
