20 Questions..

1. Will someone please come rescue me from being on the potty patrol?

2. Will I get swine flu?

3. Was there really enough reason for the district close to us to shut down completely over swine flu?

4. Was that last question rambling and did it make sense?

5. Can these kids really handle another day of silently taking tests?

6. Will the hallways look as C.R.A.Z.Y. when we let them out today as they did yesterday?

7. Will teachers/students really come to school tomorrow if the news about swine flu gets any worse?

8. Will the style of boys wearing their pants sagging half off (or all off) their bottoms ever.go.away.????????

9. Should there be a period after the word "away" in that last sentence before the question mark and would it lose its emphasis if it weren't there?

10. Could my questions get any more random?

11. How many more hours are there till tomorrow at 4pm?

12. Will we all float away in the rain we're having now?

13. Should I get up and go into the restroom so that the 3 girls waiting can all go at once?

This Week

~~It's the MOST wonderful time of the year!~~ It's that time of the year when teachers and children alike want to be at school the most! TAKS time! Woohoo! Love it!



And now for the truth...



UGHHHHH...I don't think there is a time that teachers or students in Texas dread more than TAKS time of the year. Ahhh, state mandated testing... Teachers are stressed, hoping and praying they taught the kids well enough for them to pass and kids hope they can remember well enough what they have been taught. Personally, I am really glad I don't have to be in a classroom when testing is happening as I've heard it can be very stressful.


I get to be a restroom monitor, which means I sit next to the restroom and make sure only one child goes in at a time to make sure they don't discuss the test. I'm on the potty patrol. And that's where I'll be for the rest of today, tomorrow, Thursday and Friday, all.day.long.


It's going to be a long, long week. But hey, at least there will be time for blogging!

Ughhhh...

I have so much I want to blog about, but the kids in ISS are being rather difficult.. Not much time for blogging for me today during work. Then I get to go see my son in a play tonight (super cool beans! can't wait!), so probably no time tonight either.

Check out part of my great news here though.

Lately...

I just can't seem to get a post done. It's not like I don't have a thousand things going on I could write about. I certainly do! My husband's job has been uncertain after we finally thought he'd found something really stable that he really like doing...bummer! I've had several things happen at school, including a B.I.G. "God moment" with a student last week. Every time I start to write, I can't seem to get anything finished. Not sure what's going on with me...

Part of the problem is that we're getting down to the last weeks of school and I am SO very tired. I can't wait for summer! I will miss the kids terribly, but I am ready for a break from them.

Please join me in praying for these kids today, especially for two of them who have been on my heart lately (God knows who they are!).
