Tomorrow

Everyone goes back tomorrow. Oy

This weekend was a wrap up of "oh we forgot to do....." before back to normal tomorrow.

Maddy has been wanting a hair cut- which I finally got for her on Saturday. She has been wanting bangs- so there they are. She is thrilled with her new hair, constantly rearranging it, we even bought a round brush and gel to help her through :) So pre-pre-teen......

Maddy also had to write a DARE essay over the break (which of course was done today) and you would have thought I was asking her to build the pyramids. The weeping and frustration would have broke your heart- had you not known she was just being dramatic!

The essay was of course completed, and she got over it quickly enough to read Kingdom Keepers II for the second time.

Ellie had to make a topographical map- which she of course had completed even before the break began! So Ellie spent her last day catching up on pen-pal business. It involved some cards and a Flat Kate story and picture. You can't really tell (from this really bad picture I took- blurry and red eye!) that Ellie's right eye is irritated. Right at the end of church today she poked herself in the eye, I would like to say this is the first time...... But it really was watering for hours after, sore and red! When she went to bed tonight it was still swollen- may need a Dr. visit tomorrow.

Speaking of Dr. visits- Aggie and Kevin made an emergency trip to the vet's today. Aggie had another overheated-breathing attack. So scary. The vet has suggested that she is put under and have her throat checked out- so Wednesday she will be in for that. Also so scary....... hate her having to do all this at age 11, but her breathing is definitely not getting better on its own.

I am somewhere around the 5 weeks left of teaching mark. Yay me!

Friday I had my evaluation, I was so nervous- but I would like to brag a bit here and say that there are 5 possible levels and I reached second from the highest. I have to say it is mostly because the majority of the criteria has to do with organizational/methodical traits (which I can't survive without) and course maintenance (which I had to do tons of-since starting new this year) and extra efforts like tutoring (which seems to be a necessity due to anatomy physiology being a really tough course). The irony is it may mean nothing to my pay grade because A) I am not hired yet for next year and B) It may not carry over to next year if I am hired because I am not permanent now. Whatever....... still glad I did well!

I have a favor to ask of you guys.

Just so I know who I am gearing these posts toward- could everyone who reads my blog send me a quick email/facebook/or comment just to let me know you are reading it? At this point I am not sure what information to put in the blog as I don't know who reads it! Sorry to be a pain- thanks!
