Not that anyone reads this, but for the few who do...

I don't really have much to say. It's back to business as usual. No more sleeping in, hanging out with my dog Albert or any other fun stuff. It's work, work, work.

I have a pretty good fourth grade class this year, but they are low academically. I spent almost 2 HOURS on decimals today. You would of thought I was speaking French or something. It was super frustrating.

Anywho...hope all is well with each of you. Adios!

Here'a a pic of our dog. Isn't he cute!!!

School's out for the Summer

Well, I guess xanga's not totally dead, but I'd venture to guess she's on her last leg.

Hope everyone has a great summer filled with lots of fun and maybe some relaxing too.

Less than 3 weeks of school, but who's counting?

It's crazy to think that in two weeks Jay and I will have been here for a year. It has gone by really fast...so much has happened.

Jay and I get to go to Springfield on May 16th for a few days to see his brother graduate from college. Although I hated Fellowship Week when I was in school (because it was just an extra week for the students when all the classes are done, and everyone else is already out of school), I'm really looking forward to it.

Hope everyone has a good last couple weeks of school, especially you Seniors: Kristin, Meagan, Justin, Brad, Steven, Ricky, and Austin.

Be a witness to those friends at school; it could be your last chance.

I guess it's time for a little updating....

This month is soooo crazy busy. ROCK teens, don't forget about the camping trip this weekend! I've been doing Parent/Teacher Conferences this week...Blah! I have several parents who don't speak English so their kid has to translate.

So, I pose a question... If your parents didn't know any English and you were failing or misbehaving in school, would you translate to your parents exaclty what the teacher was saying even if it was bad/negative things???

Currently Watching The Office - Season One (US/NBC Version) see related

Does anyone out there watch "The Office" on Thursday nights? It is definitely becoming one of my favorites. It's on NBC at 8:30. You really need to watch it. It's a lot of stupid, dry office humor, but I laugh like crazy most of the time through pretty much the entire show. Watch it next week and let me know what you think.

My favorite line from this week's show, "Happy birth moment, Michael." (Said this weird guy, Dwight, to his boss Michael on his B-day at the exact minute of his birth.)

Plus, Jay bought the whole first season for my iPod, and he and the guys watched it in Ecuador on the mission trip. He, too, is trying to get everyone hooked on the show.
