Wow! Summer is getting closer!!!

Today I taught my class debate. We debated over Snickers vs 3 Musketeers. The students had a lot of fun. I had a relief from regular sort of teaching. It was fun for the last of the year. I am glad that it is almost over. . . . .

AND NOW THE GRAND ANNOUNCEMENT THAT IS SAVING MY LIFE!!! MY CREATIVE LIFE!!! THANK YOU TO MY FATHER ABOVE FOR WATCHING OUT FOR ME!!

I am applying to be the art teacher at my school. I will teach part time junior high and part time art specialist at the elementary!! Yipeee!! I am very excited. It is awesome!! I can't wait to hear the final approval. All looks good so far. I have to earn and endorsement to fully qualify. I will be working on that with approval from our school board and state. Then, , , if all goes well , , , ART next year!!!

I'm very excited. So you can tell.

Well, I am off to a soccer meeting for players and soccer moms!!! :)

Sunday, May 18

My step son is calling right now from Afghanistan. He said there was a rocket in his area and he is telling his dad about it.

I worry. I'm a worry-wort anyway, but this always has me worried.

Prayers, prayers, prayers.

On another note:

Dreams should be what really we pursue. We should not let other things get in our way. We should find out what the Lord wants us to do. Then do it!!!! Those will be the most successful dreams of all. I'm trying hard right now to figure that all out. I am praying and praying.

Almost done with school!!

Wow, school is almost over. I teach 7th and 8th grade LA at a charter school. I tried it this year as last year I taught 4th grade.

I must say that yesterday was horrible in my class. Students were so disrespectful. I almost crossed my line of staying detached. I have to. There is no way I could teach without the detachment. If I let things get to me, I would have quit long ago.

I must remember that these students are 13-14 and that they are not fully developed in maturity and in their brains.

OK,,,, I feel better now.

I need to get some pictures scanned in and posted. So I have to figure that one out.

Lovely, I am blogging!!!
