I like what I do...

It's pretty cool that it's the end of May and I can actually type that title! Ha!
As another school year comes to close, I have to admit, I like what I do! We had field day on Friday and I LOVE field day. I always have a great time. I hope that my students will always remember they had a teacher that was willing to jump in the bounce house with them and run the 50 yard dash against the entire class! I hope they will remember that they had a teacher that tried to treat them with respect and that cared about them individually.

Yes there are days that I am at the end of my rope, yes there are days that an "office" job sounds very appealing, however, overall I have to say, I like what I do. I have had a really great year and have seen some tremendous growth in several of my students. It's a privilege to get to be a part of that.

I got this really neat platter as a gift from one of my students! If you can't tell she painted each one of my students by looking at their yearbook pictures. She has a neat pottery business called http://www.paintedpiggies.com/.

Wow I am blogging from my iPhone how fun is this new toy!!!! Happy mothers day

I bet that title got your attention!
NO I am not using illegal substances.
No I am not in a hockey game
No I am not receiving or handing out some archaic punishment
and no I am not going to see some over the hill rockers either...

It's this:



Tuesday and Wednesday we gave the TAKS test at school and so we are required to be "actively monitoring" at all times. In other words don't have your butt at your desk, be up moving around. Well, I did for two days straight, but in the WRONG shoes. I also ran Tuesday night. Now I have what seems to be called a "stone bruise."

It stinks. It hurts. It woke me up this morning. (anyone that knows me knows that is BAD NEWS) I have iced it, I tried to wear my tennis shoes this morning, I tried to go barefoot, it all hurts.

NO I haven't tried to "stay off of it." That's just ridiculously impossible, I have stuff to do!!!

I guess all those cheap shoes from payless are coming back to haunt me now...
