Loving First Grade!

Well, I have just finished my first two weeks of teaching 1st grade and I have to say, it is exhausting but SO much fun!! Not only did I have two weeks in a new grade level, but I had my Master's classes last weekend. So, I have not had one day to myself since July 4th! I know, poor pity me, but I am beat! I can hardly function right now...I am so tired! Oh, and we had Back to School night last night. That is always mentally stressful! I am looking forward to having all day tomorrow to just relax and not think about work. And then I have to go back to school for a few hours on Sunday, UGH! But if I don't, I will never get caught up!

Well, so enough whining from me! The girls have really been starting to like soccer. Abby scored her first goal last Saturday! (Of course I was at school, so I missed it but she called me and was very excited!) Hopefully she will score another one soon so I can see it! I am just glad she is really enjoying it. I am hoping to sign her up again, but I also want her in dance. I do not want her doing too much so I am trying to decide which one. Anyway, I will keep you updated!

I can not believe it but I am getting ready to turn the big 4-0! I can not believe I am going to be 40 years old on the 29th. I do not feel like I am 40. Well, maybe physically...lol But I will always be 25 at heart!!

We had a pretty eventful 4th of July but not in a good way. First we had NOTHING to do! So, then we decide to go shopping at Good Will (I can always find great books for the classroom!). Anyway, as soon as we got to Good Will, I had a migraine so I had to go sit in the car until my vision cleared up. Then it started pouring cats and dogs! So, we go to Walmart to pick up something for dinner and I accidentally locked my keys in the car WITH the car running! So, $75 dollars and a lock smith later I got my car keys. We then went to my moms house and watched her neighbors light fireworks. I decide to check my car because we had the interior light on for a while and I wanted to make sure the car would start...well, low and behold...the car was dead!! I had to have Lyal jump start me. And that was our 4th of July. Pretty exciting huh??




Kickin' back, readin' a book!
