Exhausted!

Wow, I forgot how much the beginning of the year wears me out! I have been getting to school super early and leaving super late. Then there's that part in between with the kiddos and all. Can't forget about that...Despite staying this late and doing this much, I still feel so behind and still have so much to do. Oh well, things will get better, right?

In other news, the in-laws are in town! They live out of the country, so when they are "in town," it's kind of a big deal. We went to Pappasito's, a delicious Tex-Mex restaurant. We had fajitas, yum! When they're in town, it always means good food and good fun. We'll probably be seeing them again soon. I wonder what we'll be eating...

I am SO glad it's Friday!

Welcome to 3rd Grade!

We are into week 3 at school. Yesterday was a holiday and I took today off for a doctor’s appointment. Boy do I not want to go back! Ha, I guess an extra extra long weekend will do that to any teacher. Here are some pictures of the room. This is before the kids came, so it looks a little different now with anchor charts and whatnot.  (Oh, and these are from my camera phone…)

Whew! Hope you enjoyed it. I have a great class this year. Right now, I only have 23 and I’m crossing my fingers it stays that way!

By the way, is there a way to enter picture captions on Live Writer? Formatting this was a pain!
