School is out! WOO HOO

-
Well, it is hard to believe but it has been almost a year since i have written in my blog. Shame on me. Alot has happened since last summer. Let's see Bailey, my kitty ended up being a snack for a fox in March. James and I had gone to the Parent's getaway with Happy Days (like we go every year) but this time Bailey was outside when we left. He usually comes home and will get in by dark. Well, he did not come home before we left. Then he ended up being gone all that weekend according to the kids. We came home and he still was not home. By that time i was starting to fear the worst. Well sure enough, Bailey was found dead in someone's yard. I was really sad for about 2 weeks and felt really bad that he had gotten out and stayed out so long. James found someone that was fostering a kitten and got it set up for me to get him. His name is K.C. and we got him the week of Spring Break (April 3). He was about 8 weeks old at that time. Cutest white little fur ball I have ever seen. It has quite the personality. He loves the mouse on the computer. He likes cheese (James gave him some one day) lol and he likes most people food. He thinks he is a dog it seems. It also likes to play with Ginger our almost 2 yr old dach/terrior mix. He tries to play with Angel but she will not have it. She lets him know that she is off limits. hehe
I survived my second year of teaching. It did not go as well as the first year. It was not the kids but problems with administration and how I teach. Evidently I am too easy. sigh...so i have to work on that one. I still have alot of growing to do as a teacher and hope that next year will be alot better. I am looking for another position else where instead of Charleston County. I have one more year of teaching, my highly qualified test to take in August and one more graduate class to take and then i will have my professional certificate in Special Education with Emotional Disorders as my specialization. I then plan to get my certification in teaching students with learning disabilities. This will make me much more marketable in the education world.
I guess that is it for now. Maybe I will write more often now that school is out.

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
