Buzz kill . . . .

Oh, how I hate a buzz kill. Especially one that involves a sick kid. Just as my day was rolling along, feeling like we were getting some good work done and making progress, I get a call during my planning that my son needed to be picked up from daycare. They think he has pink eye. . . Yes, the dreaded goopy stuff. Yikes! So I scramble for a sub, leave some work out and take him to the doctor. Apparently, it's going around, seeing as my son was the 4th one in the office with it yesterday and it was only noon! Oh, and he can't go back to daycare until he's been on meds for 24 hours. Which means another day out. Which means another day my kids are with a sub. Which actually means another 2 or 3 days to get them back to normal when I get back. Oh and I forgot! My day off will be spent sanitizing the house and doing laundry. BLEH! I am also praying that my daughter, or yikes! even myself, does not get it. . . because then we'd be back at square one! SIGH.

Welcome Back ! ! !

Wow, Spring Break went by toooo fast ! It was so hard to get up this morning, but I trudged through it, only to get to school and literally 10 minutes into our morning, had a student get sick on their desk. So, I sent them to the office and called up there to get the janitor paged. As I was talking to the secretary, my student proceeds to get sick in the background, there, too! Yikes! Shortly after that, I noticed another one of my students with a black eye and stitches in his lip... apparently from a dog... I don't know about you, but it seems to me that SOMEone was trying to tell us we needed another week of break... Anyone? { crickets } Well, at least there's only 33 days left. 33 JAM-packed days of review testing research projects more review more testing field days awards and then... a looooong deserved B R E A K ! ! ! ! ! ! !

While I'm at it . . .

Ok, so while I'm on this "roll" of sorts today, let me just show you what I'm looking at for next year's theme:



Now, I do have to admit that I never really thought about owls until I partnered with my current partner {who LOVES them!} but there is really nothing that I DON'T like about this collection! ! ! ! The colors, the cuteness . . . Wow.

And here's the link to Schoolgirl Style's blog, where you can find this and a whole lot more cuteness : {and fanci-ness if you'd rather!}

Ok, here goes...

Ok, so I have a few blogs I've been following for a few months now, and one of them {Oh Boy Fourth Grade!} always does a "Currently" linky party and I've always wanted to try. Well, lo and behold, I did it!!!! I'm quite proud of it, and I will feel even better once I get it all linked up! lol!




Here's a link to the original site!

Long time, no see...

Yes, I know it's been a while, but as I'm sure you all know, that loooooooong stretch between Christmas break and Spring Break can be a doozie. And a doozie it's been around here! Between pneumonia {me} and swapping ear infections and viral throat infections {my two sweeties at home}, it's a miracle I even made it to work at all! All laughing aside, this week is Spring Break {and of course I have double ear infections and a sinus infection} but when we go back on Monday, there's only 34 DAYS LEFT!!! Yes, there, I said it! Wow.
Well, I'm sorry I don't have a whole lot of updates with all the cutesy stuff I've been doing in class, but the fog is clearing and maybe someday soon I will! :) Until then, keep reading!
