Bad Mommy Award

Yes, I feel that I should accept it this week. Over last week, I got the flu and then I lost my voice. Good think I had my student teacher take over my class this week and last.
Monday the kids and I went to the dentist. Brayden has three different visits for cavities. Thank you birth family for giving my child who brushes, flosses,and flourides his teeth every day the worst teeth. He had three cavities, one really bad. I am not sure why they schedule him so far out to fix it. Fast forward two nights. Brayden says to me, "my gums hurt." I respond, "you will be okay, just go to bed. You brushed your teeth and gums too hard again." I wished that I could have given him some Tylenol but I didn't and had him go to bed. He woke up the next morning with a face that resembled one-sided chipmunk. I felt so terrible and still do. I called the dentist and the prescribed some Zithromax to help fight any infection. The swelling has gone but he has alot of pain. I have given him Motrin and Tylenol. Iced his face. Given him some sour candy. Well, that is not doing the trick....

Now they might have to pull his baby tooth or he will be getting a lovely root canal with a silver cap. Last night I had to rock him to sleep because of the pain of his tooth. Monday cannot come soon enough.

It sounds like a rough week. You are a good mom, not a bad one. It happens to all of us. We can't always know how bad it is all the time. I hope he can get in to the dentist soon and they can help him feel better. Maybe this week will be better! :)

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...
