Our Week in Review

January has completely flown by. One more week and we are in the month of LOVE. Let's see.......this week. Monday, was a holiday so T and I took the kids to daycare and just spent the day relaxing. I wasn't feeling so great. Didn't begin to feel better until Wednesday evening. I had this stomach thing going around. For most people it was a 24/48 hour thing, but mine wanted to linger. No fun. Finally decided by Wed, after having an accident, that I was in need of some medicine. After 4 doses of medicine I am convinced that I won't be going to the bathroom until, yum, March.

We had teacher workdays on Tues. and Wed. These were MUCH needed. Both T and I worked our tails off. Actually we had been to the school on Sat. to rearrange my room. I like it much better. I might post a picture soon. Major organizing of files and getting everything straight. I could use another week of teacher workdays.

We got new students on Thursday for the spring semester. This is shaping up to be a much better semester than the fall. I cut my numbers in half in yearbook. From 21 students to 10. I can't express to you how giddy this makes me feel. I got rid of most of my dead weight. We finally made deadline, in fact we are ahead on pages. We have about 74 pages left to turn in. But the work isn't nearly over. These pages are some of the big ones: band, ROTC, spring sports. We'll keep plugging along. Can't wait to show you all the finished product. I am teaching a class of English I, which I have never taught before. It's a class of repeaters, but the class is small. That's a blessing. Then I have a class of English III Honors. Oh how I have missed my juniors and the English III curriculum. Love it!!!

T has officially been the principal at the alternative school a year this week. What a year it has been in that arena. He works so hard!!! He is off to San Antonio this coming week. I am not sure if I will survive without him for 4 days. I am not ashamed to say that I am VERY spoiled by my hubs. We'll end out next week with our little girl turning 3 on Sat. What in the world???? Nor-nor isn't supposed to be 3 yet. But I guess I have no say in the matter. :(
