Getting Carried Away

Dear Diary,
I am getting way too into this blog thing, thanks Louise!! Two in one day...seriously. So I saw this dog thing on Kristi's blog, and I figured I would be some cute medium to small sized purse dog like my little angel.

Boy was I wrong!!

Crazy Weekend

Dear Diary,

This has been some crazy long weekend. Let me just do a day by day, play by play(hee hee)


Friday: I already mentioned that I gave my kids a test which was way to easy. Giving a test makes my work day very easy. I just sit back and relax and watch my kids sweat!! After work I had to go to the Goodtimes Center for some training hours. Three hours (to be exact) of boring videos, and out loud reading. I probably asked myself a hundred times what I was thinking doing this again. I did it last year, and must say that I didn't love it. Long ten hour days, wild screaming children. But there were some good days, and I enjoyed the people I work with, and the money's not too bad. Friday was the longest day ever.





Saturday: Uh, just joking Saturday was the longest day EVER. More training at the Y. From 8:00 to 4:00. Seriously, what are these people thinking. Thankfully I remembered that I had a baby shower at 2, so I was able to skip out a little early. The shower was such a blast. We played this game where you have to guess what the baby ate, by smelling his dirty diaper. Those pics will be available soon. Saturday evening I had what thought was going to be small gathering with a few friends at my house. You know how you see on tv, when people invite a few friends over, and next thing you know it's like a freaking block party...that's exactly what happened to me. There were people there that I didn't even know, and had NEVER seen before. It ended up being fun, but this may be the last time I ever have 'few' of the girls over.



Sunday: We had friends day at church, so I had to get there extra early to make sure that I had a seat. The lesson was very good, and very appropriate for friend's day. After church we had lunch and I was able to sit with and get to know a very nice football player...we'll call him "bobblehead"... So after lunch you will never guess what kind of fun I was in for...MORE YMCA TRAINING. I mean seriously, how much do you need to know to be a day camp counselor, especially if you did it last summer!!! After the Y it was off to 2 tutoring sessions where I was the tutor, more church, and more getting to know "bobblehead".



Long story long, this has been the longest weekend ever, and I am so glad that it is finally over!



Love and Hugs,

Chapter 12 Test

Dear Diary,
I just realized that maybe I made this test a little too easy. I mean, don't get me wrong, I do love when my kids excel ,but when half the class makes an A, something just aint right. I have only graded one period, but at this rate I will have about 4o something out of 90 something making an A. Do you know what happens when someone gets an A on a test. They get candy. Have you ever tried teaching a class when half of them are on a sugar high. It's next to impossible. What have I gotten myself into!!

Loves and Hugs,

Twinkies!

Dear Diary,

The other day, I came to the school to bring something to Austin, and you will never guess what happened. Austin came by and had on the exact same outfit as me. It was crazy weird. It was so crazy weird, that I had to get a picture. I mean, how often does something like that happen??

Boston and Niagra Falls

Dear Diary,



Last week I was able to go on the junior/senior class trip to Boston and Niagra Falls. It was sooooo fun. When we landed Friday, we went straight to the site of Plymoth Rock. There we were able to tour a replica of the ship and also view the site where the pilgrims landed. Well, actually it would have been nice to actually view the site but it was under construction...imagine that. After that we went to Plimoth Village where there were actors that we could ask questions about the old day. That was pretty neat. Finally we checked into our hotel and got ready to eat at the Quincy Market . We took a boat ride to their , and we able to see a neat view of Boston from the river. The Blue Man Group was absolutely the neatest thing I had seen in quite time. I would recommend them to anyone who enjoys being entertained. The next morning we went on an all day adventure, sight-seeing the historic towns surrounding Boston. This was absolutely my favorite part of the whole trip. We went to Lexington and saw the common area where 8 minutemen were killed. From there we went to Concord (home of the Concord Grape) and saw more interesting sights. We ended up in Cainbridge were we visited Harvard Square. Finally we bused back to Boston so we could walk the Freedom Trail. There is so much History in Boston. Hopefully I will be able to go back someday.



Saturday we made a 8 hour drive to border so we could view Niagra Falls. It was so amazing to see God's awesome creation. We ate supper at Hard Rock Cafe, and breakfast the next morning at Planet Hollywood. Some of the students actually thought that the "Duty-Free" meant you couldn't use the bathroom there...silly kids!!



I'm having trouble putting pictures on here, but as soon as I figure out how it works, I'll be sure to let you see.


Love and Hugs,

First Blog!!!

Dear Diary,
I finally mustered up enough courage to start my own blog. (After much pressure, and cohersion from a friend who will remain unnamed!) It has been a lot more difficult than I anticipated, and quite frankly, I nearly gave up this afternoon. But after much deliberation, and help from a special friend, this whole blogspot is finally coming together... YEAH! Maybe in a few days it will look like a real blog, or at least half as good as some of my friends!!
Love and Hugs
