That crazy full moon!


Do not get me wrong. I really like staying home with my kids this summer instead of working. Lately, they have been driving me nuts. Really nuts! If it is not the fighting, it is the whining and saying unkind things to each other. I know....welcome to motherhood and staying home full-time with my adorable kids.When they get this way, I feel like I am trapped in a tiny box and my kids are on outside beating and kicking and the only thing I can do is roll up into a ball and hope it will pass. I know some of you know that feeling especially you stay home all the time moms! :)

Even when I am teaching, my students do this but in other ways that drive me just as crazy as my kids. My students will talk too much, be fidgety, or even argue with each other at recess. My husband would just roll his eyes when I would complain of how tired I am of my students behavior. But it does pass and they are angels once again until IT happens again.

So after my walk with my good friend, I look up and lo! and behold! IT is a FULL moon. No wonder why... SO tonight, I can only hope my crazy kids will soon be healed when it does pass and I can climb out of my little box.

Busy week

Sorry no pictures. I have been so busy this week to a point where I am sure to have a nervous breakdown. First, I have a student teacher in my room over the next 10 weeks. I thought it would be a welcome relief to give her things to teach but I am more exhausted and it is tiring work. Then grades had to be put in and it was down over the Christmas break so I had a huge pile to get in. Parent teacher conferences were on Thursday. I didn't meet with alot. I met with most of my students'  parents. The one that I wanted to talk to of course didn't show. My own children are doing great in class. Brayden is started to read more and more each day. He is reading near the end of his grade level. Lyndee knows all of her alphabet and sounds. They finally let her check out a library book. Yippee! Sometimes I wish that they would treat Kindergarten with more rigor toward the middle of the year to get them ready for first. Just my opinion. My house is feeling very neglected and wil...

Day 5 -- Vacation

On Wednesday, our last day in the land of the heat. We went to the Mesa Southwest Museum. I guess it is call the Museum of Natural History. In all my years living in the valley and in Eagar, we never went to this museum. It rocked! I wished that I could take my students there. This room was all black with flourescent lighting. The kids could write on those white board with light wands. Whatever the kids wrote would be gone in about 20-30 seconds. It was pretty cool. I loved the interactive the stuff. I have been wanting to do this for years with my classroom. I have wanted them to create their plays. Then act them out in front of a green screen and then use a computer program to put their scenery in. I think I am going to find a grant and write one! Sister Lou loved being on T.V. We would couldn't drag this little starlet off it. Isn't this cute? They got behind the TV and now they are projected into an old western. They had a part of the old territorial prison in th...
