The One With Random Thoughts!

Yay!  The party has started.  Michelle over at The Organized Senorita was our first guest.  Thank you Michelle for your order.  You are going to LOVE the organizing utility tote.  It makes the perfect school bag.   Don't let her have all the fun!  Come party with us!

Tomorrow is the last day before the big state test.  Thank goodness!  I'm so ready to be done with it.  I know my students are too.  They've worked hard all year long preparing for this week of test. They are ready!

I only have 38 days of school left.  It's bittersweet.  I'm so ready to move and live with my husband again.  I'm super excited to meet my new coworkers and see my new classroom.  But it also breaks my heart to think about leaving my friends at HG.  I'm going to miss them!

How many days do you have left?

I've been thinking about how nice it would be if next year I worked at a school where I could wear jeans every day.  Right now I can wear them on Friday, which I love.  I'm curious - Can you wear jeans every day, certain days of the week, never?  If you could wear jeans every day, would you?
I like dressing up.  But there are some days when I'd be happier in my jeans.

In 18 days, I leave with my friend/co-worker, two parents, and 32 7th-9th graders for California.  We are pumped!  Several are nervous about their first time flying.  They all hope to see someone famous in LA.  We are going to have a blast!!

The One With the Babbling

School starts a week from tomorrow.  If they saw how long my to do list still is, they'd postpone it and give me a couple more days.  It seems like every time I cross something off the list, I think of two more things that need to be added to the list.

Weekends are truly weekends again.  I'm in workshops all day everyday.  I have forgotten how much 6:00AM and I don't get a long.  I'm much happier with 9:00AM.

My goal is to finish my room Monday and Tuesday so that I can finalize lesson plans Wednesday and Thursday.  I don't have any workshops Friday so I plan to enjoy a three day weekend before school starts.

At least the important things have been done.

Hair Highlighted - Check
Manicure - Check
Pedicure - Check

Now I just need to decide on my "First Day" outfit.  Sometimes I think this is harder as a teacher than it ever was as a student. HA!
