Hey there...

Well, the month of June is almost gone (sigh). I can't believe it has gone that fast. Maybe it did because hubby was gone at school for most of the month. He graduated on Friday and made the Commandants list. I was totally proud of him. He did very well. Next, he will be getting promoted!! I am so excited for him and very proud.



Little man is trying to push all the buttons he can. He doesn't want to eat, sleep, get dressed, or anything on my time. It's going to be on his time. Well, that boat don't float. I have been really firm handed on his buttocks lately and he's not liking it one bit. OH WELL!



How's everyone else's summer going? What relaxing things are you doing? I need some tips b/c I haven't been able to relax yet!! I have 30 days to relax before school starts again. This means brain shutting off and relaxing. This must be done cheaply too. De-stressing is a MUST! Any hints, suggestions, or comments are welcomed!!

Have a great week and weekend!

Busy, busy, busy

Hey all in blog land. It's been hot, humid and busy here in LA. My hubby has been away at school for his job and is graduating on Friday. That means lil man and I have had an up and down time by ourselves for one month.

Sign-ups for the football and cheerleading league have started. That has also taken up a lot of my time. I sometimes don't know if I am coming or going. I hate that feeling. I have less than 2 months before school starts again too. This summer is flying. I just wish I could take time to RELAX!!!! I really need mommy time!

What are everyone's summer plans? Anything fun??

Well, so far 1 tropical storm and no major damage.... we shall see what all as to offer this hurricane season!

EWWW it's hot!

Well, ladies and gentleman, summer has not officially started yet, but the weather down here is unbearable. It's hot and humid. I told my neighbor today that I was thankful that I didn't put on makeup b/c I wouldn't have any left on after this afternoon.

It's about 90° here and 80-90% humidity daily. At 8:00 CDT it was still 90° outside. That's insane. Thank God for airconditioning and an occasional breeze. Things will just get worse as July, August, and September come around.



Hurricane season started 7 days ago..... I am certainly not looking forward to it! Keep us in your prayers.



Well, I am off to sleepy world. I hope all of you have a blessed weekend!

Memorial Day

Today is a day that I will remember forever. Three years ago at 1:25 AM, my darling son was born. He was born on Bob Hope's 100th birthday. What a day!! It was the best day of my life. I wouldn't change that day for anything.

Today is also a day that we should remember all those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country and our freedoms. Thank a service member today for serving our country proudly.

Have an AWESOME day!

And the results are in........

Well today was the day. The best day and worst day of my students' lives. They found out whether or not they were heading onto 5th grade or a crappy summer of SUMMER SCHOOL!!!!!.... Well, I have some good news and bad news.

The bad news, 9 students out of 57 on our 3 teacher team did not pass the LEAP.

Now for the somewhat good news:
That's an 84% pass rate. You did read that correctly. 84%!!!! Out of those 9 only 4 were regular education students. So, if we take the 10 Special Ed students out of our team (47) and subtract those 4. We have a pass rate of 91.5%.

Now for the AWESOME news.... 100% on my homeroom passed the TEST. I was the only teacher to have that done!!!!! I am so pumped!!!

Today was even made better by my lil man, who came rushing up to me when I came home saying "Happy Mother's Day, Mommy!!" That just put a huge smile on my face. I also received a balloon and cards from him. His daycare provider is awesome. Now, to get her something.

I just wanted to share my bad, good, and awesome
news.
