teacher hours????

Ok, so things have gotten out of hand at school. I couldn't find my desk....I had to do something!! Teaching those little first graders sure is rewarding, but when do I have time to do other stuff???? Well, it comes when I work 12 hour days like today, well almost! 6:50-6:15!!! This must stop!! :) But hey, I made it through my first 6 weeks!! :) Yeah!!!

On a much more scary note....our economy is tanking!! Yikes!!! Please keep my brother-in-law and sister in your thoughts and prayers. We found out yesterday he will probably lose his job that he has had for 15 years. Pretty scary!

We can only hope people keep building airplanes so Stephen can have some job security. Keep flying!! :) We're doing our part when we can but we need some help!! ;)

oh, 1 more funny....

My co-worker has a student with special needs. Today she brought him to my room for some time out. He was being terrible. One of my students was moved from her room to mine. The other little boy kept saying bano (bathroom). I wasn't about to let him go for fear of him escaping. The new little boy in my room said don't worry, he won't escape...he'll come back!! :) I thought that was hilarious!!! :)

life as a teacher....

Funny story to tell....now that I teach 1st grade, I'm sure there will be many more to follow!! Out of the mouth of babes!!!

I was wearing my college ring which has the state seal on it. One of my students said Mrs. Wright I like your ring. I said thank you. She said.....my daddy's been in jail lots of times and that is what is on all of his mail!!!!

What do you say to that??????

Slow down!

Well, I got pulled over today by a cop for the first time EVER in my life. The sad part was, I was only doing 38 mph, but in a school zone. It was 4:20 and I didn't realize it was still a school zone. Luckily, he felt sorry for me since I was a teacher, so he let me off with only a warning. Thank ya Lord!!!

Take a hike, Ike!!

We're making it all right! We have just had some rain and wind. We brought in all of the outdoor furniture and we're "hunkering down"!! :) Poor Sippi, she doesn't know what to think. She is just running around the house back and forth to me and Stephen.

Mom and Dad are doing alright in Nac. They lost power this morning but luckily they have a generator so they have fans, lights, TV, and refrigerator. Shelley and the family is there also. They are really roughing it.........right!

It's a Boy!!

Congrats to Ryan and Missy!! They found out today that their little bundle of joy will be a boy!! They are already quite smitten with the little feller!! He has his little legs crossed for his mommy and daddy!! We can't wait to see him!! I have already found a shirt that I will buy for him that says Spoiled by the best....my Aunt Stacey!!!
