LOOOONNNNGGGG Day

Meet the teacher went well. I only had half the parents show up and they all pretty much came at the same time which is how I prefer it. So over all it was good and I survived.

I didn't realize how unprepared I was for Monday! I spent the day typing up lesson plans and then getting all that stuff together. Then I still had to finish putting together the classroom!

I finally left work at 5:40 when my 3's started to look like E's and I couldn't sign my name anymore (I don't know how celebrities do it!)

My day is still not over though. But at least I am on to the fun stuff. Right now I am at Erna's waiting for Tim to get off work so we can go to dinner.

I AM STARVING!!!!

NOT at all ready

What a very busy day! Thankfully it has gone by pretty fast. Although I can't decide if I am happy it went by fast or if I wish it had gone slower so that I could have gotten more done.

We had one meeting today at 11:00. It was only suppose to last for an hour but I figured since board members were speaking it would last for more than that. Surprisingly it didn't - it actually ended ten minutes early!

Last night I couldn't go to sleep as I was thinking about all the things I needed to get done in the classroom today. But, I didn't write any of it down. So the minute I walked into my classroom my mind went blank. I couldn't think of a single thing I needed to do. Thankfully after a while it started coming back to me. So now I have a very long to do list.

I FINALLY stopped working at 4:30 and am now hanging out at Erna's for a little while.

Tomorrow is Meet the Teacher. I always hate that. First off, they stick it right at 1:00. Could it please be a little later so I can get more done? Second, I am always nervous meeting new parents. Every year I dread Meet the Teacher.

I'm TIRED!!!

It was my first day back to work. Granted I was there all last week but today was the official start. I had meetings in the morning. Those are pretty boring. Mostly because I have been there for a few years and it is almost all repitition. After the morning meeting my grade level team and a few others went to Red Robin to celebrate Jenny's (co-worker) birthday. I am just not a fan of Red Robin. The burger I got was pretty bland. Like they forgot to season the patty.

The afternoon was spent working on my room. I am slowly getting there. I do have to speed things up though. Meet the teacher is on Friday.

After work I had to go to Walmart to get some things for mom. She didn't have the time to go today so I offered.

Can I just say how much my feet and knees hurt right now? They do!!!

I am dog tired. I guess I should probably go to bed on time tonight.

The Last Day of Summer

Today is my last day before I have to be back to work. It is actually a furlough day. So what to do? I went shopping bright and early. It is too hot to go out in the afternoon. I went to Target, AZ Mills and then to New York & Company. And YES, I spent way too much money! Well worth it though.

Now I think I will go take the last nap of the summer.
