You're stylish and modern, but you've got a few rough edges that keep you from attaining true sophistication. Your leading men include William Powell, Fredric March, and Clark Gable.

Memorial Day Weekend

Wheeeew! Finally the end of grade tests are over. My students did well, I had 100% proficiency in reading (they ALL passed the reading portion of the test) and I had 3 who did not pass the math portion but I expected that. I couldn't be prouder of them for all their hard work and effort this year. The students now have two weeks left and teachers have three. I can't believe how fast the year has gone. I think Im going to stay down here at least another year. Just taking it one year at a time for now. I do miss my family but this is becoming home.

Went and saw 'Shrek the Third' last night. It was a cute movie, brought Arthur and Merlin into the story. I'm not sure I liked it as much as the first two but it was good. I will have to buy it when it comes out on DVD so I will have the whole set. I don't often go to the theater but a friend from work invited me to go with her and her sons. I'm glad I went, I need to get out more.

I don't have any real plans for the weekend. I thought about driving to the coast and enjoying the ocean for the day but then I stopped and filled up my gas tank and thought to myself that I had better ways to spend my money than buying liquid gold, besides I have to save up for my trip to Indiana, that should cost me plenty. If the prices keep going up Im going to have to start limiting my trips back.

Well Ive bored everyone enough, even bored myself...lol, so until later. Have a good Memorial Day weekend.

A full week ahead

Well the weekend is over and tomorrow begins a very busy week. We have the end of grade tests. Three days of testing and nerves are frayed, both teachers and students are getting snippy. One of the teachers I work with was talking to me about her husband who is an elementary principal. He came home and told her he didnt understand why the teachers were being so short with each other. She basically looked at him and let him know. He understood a lot better after she told him...lol. Luckily, our administration at our school, seem to understand and do all they can to help staff out.

Anyway, my weekend was pretty uneventful. For the most part I haven't feel very good, I thought I just had allegies but I think its more like a cold. A little bit feverish, runny nose, scratchy throat. I didn't even make it to church this morning, I got dressed, went to Walmart then just came home. Took a nap. That was nice.

Well I dont really have much to say tonight so will let you know if I survive the week.

What kind of kisser am I?



You know exactly what you want when you're kissing someone (you've carefully considered the merits of everything from hair touching to butt grabbing), but sometimes your shy side holds you back. You tend to stay silent about your preferences during real-life kisses, but once you get up the nerve to speak your mind, you'll experience the hot kissing action of your dreams.

ME? hmmm I dont know

It's A Wonderful Life?

One of my favorite movies is the old James Stewart movie 'It's a Wonderful Life' Sometimes I wonder what I would see if I were given the same gift that George was given. If I could go back and see the life of my family, friends, and acquaintances, had I not been born, would I see any difference? Would they be worse off? better off? Has my life truly made a difference in the life of anyone else? I guess it is normal, somewhat, to reflect on these kind of things. Guess I will never know.

Well I have officially gotten through another birthday and Mother's Day and the world is still revolving. I even went to church this morning. That is something I haven't done on Mother's Day in several years. It's always been just too hard for me but down here it was easier. I think that moving down here was God's way of helping me to heal - in a lot of ways. As much as I love my family, I think I needed to be separated from them, at least for a while. My plan right now is to stay down here, if that is in line with God's plan for my life anyway. I need to be more in tune with His plan than the Me plan. The Me plan is full of errors and has never taken me very far in my life.

That's all I have for now. Back to work tomorrow.

BLAH

This is probably my least favorite time of year, in particular, this week of May for personal reasons. Two of my least favorite days are this weekend, my birthday on Saturday and Mother's Day on Sunday. I actually thought this weekend might not be so bad this year because of the family that was coming down. But they started dwindling off one by one until now, no one is coming. My younger sister still might drop in on Saturday because she is still going to SC to see her fiance but Ill just feel like a 5th wheel with the two of them. Maybe I'll just talk her into not coming, lock myself in for the weekend, eat chocolate, cry and try to forget the whole weekend. By Monday though Ill be fine.

Im off to feel sorry for myself, until later, bye.

Update

Last Thursday we had our PJ day. It was kind of fun to wear pajamas to school. I think I only had 3 students that were "too cool" to participate. In the morning we had a math test and our weekly skills test and a Spanish program. In the afternoon we watched the movie 'Skylark' because we had just finished reading the story in our Reading books. It is the 2nd book/movie in the Sarah Plain and Tall triology. I think the kids enjoyed it. And for the curious - I was stylin' in my flannel pj bottoms, turquoise and light blue stripes with yellow moons and white stars. I normally wear a turquoise tank top with them but since we are not allowed to wear tanks at school I wore it with a white tshirt under the tank top. Even wore my house slippers.

Friday we had an onsite field trip called 'North Carolina' Day. They had all these representatives from NC companies and organizations, it was really interesting. It was a very good day.

Well, that's the end of the update. Until later.

Tomorrow is Pajama Day

All year I have been fighting with my students to get reading logs turned in. From October to March when they turn them in they are given a certificate from Pizza Hut for a free personal pan pizza. That didn't seem to motivate too many of them. So here comes April and I get this bright idea - - the kids have been begging all year for a pajama day so I tell them if EVERYONE turns in their April reading logs we will have pajama day. My actual thought is, there will be someone who won't but lo and behold they all turned them in. So tomorrow is pajama day.

They all get to wear their pajamas and in the afternoon we are watching 'Skylark' to go along with the story in our reading books. Then they have to compare the story to the movie. They are all looking forward to it. Actually so am I because I get to wear my pajamas too. Go flannel!!

I am so tired this week, seems like Ive just had night after night of sleeplessness. Im thinking I might take a sleep aid tonight if I cant sleep. There are better alternatives but unfortunately I dont have access to them. ((Still waiting for Mr. Right))

Well Ill report tomorrow how the pj day went. Until then, have a good one!
