I have a ton of work to do to get ready for back to school but have been spending most of my days in bed!!! Well, today I did something different. I decided to take my vitamin when I first woke up this morning, instead of at night when they suggest you take it. This is the first day I have had any energy. I actually feel like doing some things around the house. Lately I have felt like a bum. Eric has been working so hard on his campaign. He leaves from work and goes door to door till about 8:00 every night!!!! The heat really concerns me. I have not been able to do simple things like clean or laundry. Simply because I have no energy and the smells make me gag. So, today I have actually been able to start some laundry, work on ordering volleyball spirit packs, getting class outlines/ expectations completed... well all but one of them anyway.
I did find out that I will be teaching a Bible class this year after all. Last year the curriculum was so bad I threw it out and we read The Oath. While I had several parents/ grandparents who were not thrilled with the decision initially, they were excited to see a book that their 9th grade son actually enjoyed reading. This year I am teaching Old Testament Survey, which I am excited about. I expect I will get more out of it than the students will.... I am also teaching 7th grade U.S. history, 9th grade world history, 11th grade U.S. history (reconstruction to present) and sign language. I am kinda bummed because of my due date this year I will not be able to make the trip to Washington D.C. with the juniors :( I am, however, going on a trip to Nashville with the 7-9th grades. We are going to visit The Hermitage!!!!!!! That is the home of President Andrew Jackson who is my all time favorite American President!!!! As in he is the most interesting. There was no fluff with Jackson he did what he said and meant what he said. Not to mention the scandle of his marriage. As a matter of fact when he was elected president, shortly after his wife died, he accused the "high society" Americans of killing his wife because they were so mean to her. We will als be going to Opry Land and a few more place but I can't remember where. Heck who cares we get to go to the Hermitage!!!!
