Zoey's Christmas Pictures

My little Zoey (she is 2 now). Doesnt she look very excited to be sitting next to all the presents??

Here is Zoey again - only this time she is very excited about having her oh-so-pretty coat on.

Yikes, where have I been?

I have been such a bad blogger lately. It has been about 2 months since I posted last. Im not even sure why. There has been stuff to write about - hasnt there? I have been staying busy. I am done with my Christmas shopping - thank heavens. I have actually been done for a while. I did really, really good this year. I started early and stayed on track. I think I have 1 gift card left to buy for me dad, but I am going to wait to get that until I go up by their house on Saturday or Sunday.

Otherwise, work has been going pretty well. We are in the process of hiring a new science teacher - well we were. I believe our principal hired one yesterday - he will be joining out staff event on Thursday and then with the students on Friday - the day before the break. Paul (the previous science teacher, who will be missed dearly) went on to work at Potawatomi as their (somekind of ) betting manager. We will see how the new one works out.

I have had a forever amount of work conferences in the past week. Well, 2 - but in a week - that is a lot. I had one on Thursday for this math plan folder, CAB thing we are doing and then I had on on Monday (yesterday) on some Math Lab Algebra activities we can do with out students. They are good, and very informational, but some days I would rather be in the classroom - it is actually harder to prepare for a sub sometimes than to actually teach yourself - especially when I am not sure of the math knowledge the sub will have to know if we can do work, or review, something new, etc.

What else? Christmas is exactly one week from today - I am excited. I am going home again - this time for about 5 days. My birthday is in 10 days - I will be 27. I say that and it seems old, but in no way do I feel like I should be about to turn 27. Isnt that crazy?

Well, enough for now - I promise to try and update better - I have time - I just need to commit to it.
