Lala what are the ribbons for? this is the first time I have heard about them.
Lala, that's great that you can work on your ribbons too. That makes it the perfect job for you, lol :) I do kinda miss working with the kids as I had worked in schools for 14 years, (also did 7 years working in the school's office) but I think my life is going in another direction now, so we shall see where it takes me.
lol, I subbed for 7 years as well and during 4 of those years I went to college at night and got my K-6 teaching degree. Took a job in finance after college and 3 years later was down-sized when my boss passed away from cancer. Now I have started my own business and I am subbing again. High school is not so bad. The best part is 1.5 hour planning period :-) I take the PIR ribbons and work on them during planning lol. From 5:30 am til 11 pm I am going going going. My only down time is spent sleeping and an occasional date night with the hubs :-)
Lala, I was a substitute teacher for 7 years and my favorite grades were K and 1st. You are a brave woman taking on high school Algebra. Yikes!
momshousedivided, love your encouraging sayings. :)
lol, the first graders were awesome, a great class to teach :-) tomorrow I'm teaching Special Ed and Friday High school Algebra lol. I guess you could call me a very diverse substitute lol.
Lala- First grade! You must be whooped!
Good morning everyone, hoping everyone gets letters over the next few days!
Lala- Sounds like the fundraiser was a hit. Will definately be looking for that new song- hope radio plays it. Kinda wish we would have waited a bit longer to reserve a hotel- my hubby has a itchy trigger finger and lord forbid if we don't do "stuff" way early- he freaks out! hahahaha ( little anal & ocd about certain things) Oh well we have a place and will not have to try and manuver the roads too much.
OK here is your today's ditty-- ( a cafe' duo)
I believe humans get a lot done, not because we're smart, but because we have thumbs so we can make coffee. ~Flash Rosenberg
Mothers are those wonderful people who can get up in the morning before the smell of coffee.
That is awesome. It is good to see them actually lowering the rates for holidays when most other companies always raise the rates for holidays.
I was a crazy day for me, I had to sub in a 1st grade class, so many teacher around here are sick that I was called by 5 schools wanting me to work today. Then this evening my husband and I had date night YAY, we went to a fundraiser concert for the local Children's hospital and saw Casey James, Josh Thompson, Lee Brice, Thompson Square, Sunny Sweenie, and Kellie Pickler. It was awesome. Lee brice has a new song getting ready to be released that is military based. It is called "I drive your truck". It was so good and brought tears to my eyes. So be watching and listening for that one. Then when we were on our way home we got a call that the police were at our house. A drunk driver took out our mail box and 4 others and did some property damage and then landed on the neighbors porch. We are just thankful that everyone was okay. What a day...
YAY NavyMom!
YAY Navy Lodge!
