One down a million to go.........

So today was my first day of school!!!! I went all by myself like a big girl!!! I have to say I have truly been blessed with a great schedule, understanding parents and wonderful students!!! Today was not at all full of chaos, just maybe a little confusion. I didn't hand out books cause the students don't get their lockers till tomorrow.... so learning starts tomorrow. You will all be happpy to know that I am not big on homework so you don't have to feel sorry for my students, and I am nice..... as long as they follow the rules we will get along just fine. I don't have my Bible curriculum yet but it should be here any day now... I can't wait, I really like to topic for this year. I get to spend most of my time with 8th and 9th grades, which I love. I can't forget about volleyball... the 3rd love of my life (um.... God, family, volleyball.... yeah I think that works.) Tomorrow night is open house I hope it doesn't go too long. I have alot of repeat students from last year so most of them know what to expect. I love school supplies and my returning students know it so they all want to show me their cool highlighter or neato binders. They quit showing me their cool pens when I started to try and steal, .... um borrow them. But I am excited that I have several who have said thet they are excited to be in my class for a real class this year. Several of them I only had for sign language last year but I still managed to earn that "favorite teacher" spot..... man I guess I had them fooled cause now I make them do real work...... Who knows maybe they will like it!?!?!?!?!

I love CVS!

Well, this trip set me back more than I intended but Eric wanted the gatorade for his bike ride Sat. and the diapers were half price!!! So oop was $8.19 but I got $46.30 in merchandise!!! I also took one of Eric's co-workers to show her how to do the different transactions. She did great too!!

Tomorrow! Tomorrow!

Inservice starts tomorrow.... its only a few hours away! Yay so I get to be in meetings all day Mon and Tues... but they are feeding us so hey! I am sad I can't make my CVS trip till Wed... but very excited about the money makers this week on children's Advil and Colgate toothpaste... not to mention the Crest for only 24 cents!!!!!! It makes me smile just to think about it ;)

Where did my summer go????

Oh, I remember.... in bed..... yay. This has been a full week for me . Regular volleyball practices started on Mon. and other than Tues have been in full swing. I am exhausted..... I have been ordering uniforms and t-shirts along with anything else you can imagine. I have also managed to put up 2 bulletin boards and start to arrange and decorate my room. On one board we are going to keep track of the olympics and on the other students are going to bring in pics of themselves doing their favorite things from the summer. I am going to put up a few cruise pics and a copy of the ultra sound. While I am looking forward to volleyball I am not looking forward to being the only coach...... Interesting info, when I arrived at the school this morning for practice it had been rolled and the football field had been forked. Lets just day my idea of a good start is NOT calling the headmaster, at 7:30am, to tell her and see if she wants me to call the police. Who did it you ask? Well my guess is either the senior class that just graduated or this years junior class. During homecoming week the 2 classes were engaged in a rolling war and both sides were shut down by the cops and the administration. Especially after the seniors rolled the wrong yard. They had the wrong house number and rolled and elderly man's house who can only get around in a wheelchair. Needless to say they had to apologize and clean it all up along with helping him fix a few things around the house....

The Pic...

Baby!!!

Sorry Val, I am late posting. The visit went great and we are so excited! There is only one baby!!! Not that I am disappointed but I was ready for anything. Eic was so excited he got to see the ultrasound before I did. I had to wait till she was done measuring till she would turn the monitor around. The heartbeat was at 164... if I remember correctly that puts the baby in girl range. Correct me if I am wrong and place your bets! I am currently posting from a friend's house so I don't have the baby pics on me. Eric took them to work and has scanned them. He has one posted on his blog if you want to check it out! I also found out that my blood type is O- that means when the baby starts to produce its on blood I will have to get a shot that will keep my body from rejecting the baby's. Apparently it is really uncommon to be O- but after my mom thought about it for a minute she thinks her mom was also O-. FYI Eric is O+.

And its here!

So tomorrow I go for my ultrasound.....
