Well it is now the close of the first 9 weeks at our school district. YEAHHH!! Our kids at school have a day off on Monday so the teachers can regroup and get the grades together etc.
So for this year as gone pretty good. I only have 3 kids in my class and I teach 6 or 7 classes. I have lost count...I teach: Social Studies, Science, Writing, Reading, Math, Social Skills. I think that is it. We have been studying WATER in science class. I am so glad that we are finished with Water...course all this time we were also getting rain like crazy...so i was dealing with water experiements on the inside while it was having water on the outside. One cool thing though is when I was collecting water for our samples of water. I came across water by our classroom and it had tadpoles in it. So we now have 12 tadpoles that eventually will turn into frogs. I just transfered them over to a different container. It takes several months for them to transform into frogs but it should be fun to see the transformation.
The next kit we get will be about Plants, and Crayfish and Beetles. I can handle the plants but crayfish and beetles...?? ICKKKKK
I have to order the crayfish once i get through part of the plant unit and they come in the mail...LIVE....
I am not really looking forward to that too much.
Justin woke up with a sore throat and not being able to breathe well. I think its his allergies so i gave him some stuff for his throat and gave him a claritin in hopes of him feeling better enough to go to school. I am starting to get stopped up as well so i think i will take a claritin and hope it works. I can't afford to get sick either.
I found out about my winter preservice for my PACE program and i will be going up to Columbia the 16 to the 18 of December and then December 27-30 and then several weekends in January and several in Feb. Once that is done i will get my initial certificate for this year. I will also receive my back pay and start getting my salary that i am suppose to get.
One of the teachers that is at my school is also going through the program and will be going up to Columbia at the same time i am so we decided to room together and split the cost of the room and the gas.
Well it is about time to get ready to go to school.
Now that i know how to get back on here to post maybe i will be able to post more often.

What to do at 3 in the morning?

-
Well here I sit at the computer and its nearly 3:30 in the morning now. I started getting sick yesterday at school. I was sneezing like crazy most of the day. When I got home I started taking meds. I took everything from Claritin (thinking it might be my allergies) to Theraflu and so far no real relief. Then about 11:45pm I took something that had an antihestomine (not sure what it was since it was out of the box) I figure good something that would dry me up. Well it actually did dry me up however I have been a wake most of the night. UGHHH!! I was suppose to work today but when i woke up at 11:45 pm and good not hardly talk or do much else i called in to the lady that assigns the subs and told her i could not work. Yesterday, Justin was sick with a low fever and coughing. I am hoping to be able to send him to school today. He has missed 8 days of school so far this year and can not miss anymore than 10 before they decide to retain him. I would rather he not have to stay in 3rd grade a

My Scar

-
                                                                 My Scar     “OUCH”, I said to David. He and I were goofing off during band practice one day. He twisted my right wrist.   I didn’t think much of it at the time. It hurt a little but I soon forgot all about it. Then   about a week later I started having pains in my right wrist.   I was having a hard time being able to bend it. I noticed a large bump formed under the skin on the top of my wrist. I didn’t tell my parents. I figured they wouldn’t believe me and would think it was just growing pains.   It wasn’t until I was in my first semester of college that I noticed that the bump on my wrist was getting bigger. Since Mom used to work with a hand surgeon, she still had connections. So I went to see the Dr. and we set a date for the surgery. It would be on January 13, 1978. This date actually fell on a Friday of all days. I went into the hospital the night before, so I would be ready to go into surgery the ne
