Life is Grand

Life is better now. My darling husband just secured his job for another 6 years and we're going to enjoy it for now! Lil man is 100% better and I am still not recovered in the voice area , but I am doing much better.

TESTING IS OVER IN THE STATE OF LOUISIANA!!!!! YEAH!!!!

Just thought you would like to know! The testing committee sent off the final papers Wednesday! I am so excited. Now the waiting game begins. It takes approximately 6-7 weeks to grade these. That means the kiddos won't know if they pass or not until right before school is out. UGH!

My students didn't do too bad. Some just needed an extra kick in the butt to stay focused.

Spring break is in 2 weeks, and I will be heading to sunny Ohio to see my sis, DG.

Take care everyone and have an awesome
weekend!

SPRING HAS SPRUNG!




Ha! Not very likely. This morning we woke up here in Louisiana to a chilly 41 degrees. Tomorrow and Saturday's lows are to be in the mid-30's. YIKES~~ It's craziness I tell you!

Today, I am home w/ lil man with another ear infection. UGH! This is the second one in a month. I just wish the weather would make up its mind b/c that is what is making everyone sick down here. The viral flu and ear infections are just some of the things being seen here. Is it the same where everyone else is? I would love to know! I am stuck with Noggin and PBS Kids Sprout all day!!! Fun, fun fun!! NOT!

Testing week is almost over. I feel bad because I am missing today but no one could keep lil one for me. The kids are doing ok; they are stressed some because they know this could make or break them.

Spring break is in 2 weeks. At that time, I am heading to the grey area called NE Ohio. Hopefully there will be sunshine and warmth up there when we visit. I am going to try and bring it with me sis!! (well, I am bringing the favorite nephew!!)

Have a great rest of the week!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day to one and all. May everyone enjoy wearing green, drinking green beer, and having a grand time.

I for one won't be able to pertake in these festivities per se, but I will be wearing some green!! We are preparing for our hell week, opps.... test week. I hope ya'll have a great week and weekend.

Warm weather returns

It is official! The warm weather has returned to Louisiana!!! We are now wearing shorts, t-shirts, and sandals. We are planting gardens and landscaping the house. It has been really fun so far this weekend. I am excited b/c one of our neighbors is wanting to go with us on a vegetable garden!! That means fresh corn, green beans, squash, and other things this summer and next winter.

Granted, we have to make it through hurricane season w/ no problems!!! LOL

Now, it's time to work on the summer body more. Lose some weight and find new clothes. :)

Bleck

I was just realizing today that no one either not reading my blog, or they don't want to post a comment. I see my sis, sis-in-law, and others have multiple posts and I gave what... 1-3? ugh! I am really bummed.


Anyway, this is the second to last week before HELL WEEK!! (Testing in the state of LA!) That week will be very long!!! This kiddies will be going stir crazy by Wednesday!! So will the teachers. Once it's over though, it's smooth sailing! The only huge problem is that the kiddies will just give up and start fluffing off big time! That's the part of testing I don't like. BUMMER!

I hope everyone has a great rest of the week!

Ciao!

Little man

This week was interesting to say the least. On Monday, lil man came home sick, and I mean sick. The poor baby. Anyway, I had to take 2 days off from teaching to nurse him back to health. He had an ear infection, mild pink eye, and some type of 24 hour bug. It wasn't pretty.

Today, on the other hand, is so pretty outside. The trees are budding, the grass is growing, and we're wearing shorts! Yes, that is right. March 5th and we are wearing shorts!

We're planting flowers, shrubs, and new grass outside. I just took a few minutes to update the blog.

I hope everyone is doing great and that the weather in your neck of the woods starts becoming more spring like!

CHEERS!
