i am a geek... i am a freak... i am a middle school teacher.

so i am suppose to have 1.5 more weeks left in my summer but this summer continues to put me in classes, courses, and meetings for my masters or for school... either way it is all for school.

i have been b*&^% about it all lately but last night i realized that in 2.5 weeks i will have a new set of students sitting in desks anticipating all that will happen this year... some what they will learn others more socially focused on what will happen... either way it is going to commence and i am excited.

in the last week i have started to have bits of excitement well up within me about the 180 days of learning that are in front of me for the 2009-2010 school year. i am particularly excited about teaching 2 intense reading courses. lessons and activities are swarming in my head.

i am a geek... i am a freak... i am a middle school teacher.

back from the beach

i am back from 9 days at the beach.

life is good.

summer is a blessing.

2 more weeks until back to work.

i am still love with a MAN i call chip.

i never knew it could physically hurt to be away from a man for 4 days.

two words icy hot... it sooths a sore heart or just makes your chest burn so that you forget momentarily about the pain.

spoiled

i have been thinking how lucky we are to live in a free country where we are generally safe and have options everyday! happy fourth of july friends!

chip gave me 12 beautiful roses this week and a fish named Samson (pictures to follow) this week... and this weekend he is taking me down south ... to swim in the healing waters... drive the country roads... and pick the wild roses.

spoiled... BUT THANKFUL!
