Life's A Dance

Isn't it so true?? We received an update from a friend this past week who just had her third child and the title of her newsletter was "Who Has Time To Blog?". I felt like I knew where she was coming from, and I don't have 3 little ones to chase down and change their diapers. :) Well, Friday was my last day of my first year of teaching . . . can you believe it??? I am so thankful for all the things that I have learned from being with those kids. I have also learned from all the mistakes I made, as well. This next year will, hopefully, be much better. Just for an update, I am feeling much better but my jaw does still feel askew on the right side. For all those who are wondering, I fell down several cement stairs only to fall straight on my jaw at the base . . . a cement slab. :( More than anything - embarrassing!!! Plus, having to tell everyone what happened and having kids stare at me all the time was kinda frustrating. But, I'm sure in a few weeks I will be feeli...

Allergies . . . yeah I still got them . . . I don't know if I am ever going to get rid of them. I have been wearing glasses for the last month and fear putting in my contacts. June 30th can't come soon enough. Well, we've been busy/not busy since the last time I was able to get on here. Amanda came down on Saturday and is trying to find a job, so if anyone has any ideas please feel free to let us know. I have just been trying to survive/reminiscing on the year and how much my students have grown and learned. It is really amazing how much we cram into their little heads in just one school year. I will miss them but I will be glad to start the summer, too. I have a whole lot to do so I'm sure I won't have much down time but I am still looking forward to it, nonetheless. This is short and sweet for now. I hope to be able to get on again sometime soon. Adios!

I know I . . . don't!!!!!!! I should have purchased stock in allergy medicines!!! Friday we went on our grade level field trip to the local Art Museum and then to Kid's Kingdom. I had a really hard time with my allergies all day and my left eye swelled up so huge that it grossed my students out. Sorry kids! But it was actually a really neat field trip and I had a great time, besides the whole eye gunky junk. I took a whole bunch of pictures and we were able to look at the pictures on our classroom ELMO. The kids really liked it a lot and it was good to close out on the whole day. Only 4 more weeks to go!!!! :) Last night we got a call from Mara that she needed to take Nat to the ER so we were able to get to stay with the girls. That really doesn't sound right - I was not happy that Nat had to go to the ER but I was happy that I got the chance to stay with the girls. It was all good until Payton started crying. When I went and got her up she was actually really happy and did...
