First, I learned a big lesson the hard way this week. My son (15) has been playing a lot with his friends in recent months using air soft guns (they shoot little hard plastic pellets). They play it like paintball only you don’t have to be in a special place. I knew better (hindsight) but have [...]
You could hear the screaming down the street! (Jake not me) Last night we discovered school had been canceled for today! Right now it is -7 degree temp with a wind chill of -28. So at least a benefit came from the cold.
Maybe I will go the the Y and work-out today. I have loved it [...]
Well, Jake auditioned for the snare drum and then went to callbacks and he made it! So he will play snare on the drumline next year. He is very excited he made it. He loves to play the snare and loves to march in the drumline. He still has baseball tryouts coming up. But [...]
I mentioned earlier that my son was excited about a Christmas gift he had for me. He bought it on his own, with his own money he saved. This is what he gave me - wow!
He got this from Penney’s - fine jewelry - I am so blessed that my 15 year old son would [...]
Also, today is my son’s 15th birthday! He got his learner’s permit. I can’t believe it. He really does a good job driving though. I am so proud of him. He says he has bought me a Christmas gift that is so special I will scream. I can’t wait to find out what it is!
I really like being a sub in spite of the challenges (such as having to teach a lesson cold-or having to teach math -yikes!) The past 3 days I have been in 5th grade. Last week I was in 2nd grade, special ed, media center and high school English! I like the variety. Although [...]
Jake’s band is awesome! They left at 5:30 yesterday morning to go to a parade competition where they were with 97 bands! Their band had the high overall score!! Then they went to another city for a competition and tied for grand champs. Jake’s freshman band won for best auxiliary. He got back at 12:30 [...]
Today I attended my first band competition. My son’s school hosted one for the first time so there were only 6 bands competing but I really enjoyed it. It was fun to see all the different moves each band has, their themes and props. I hope he wants to stick with band. Right now he loves [...]
I am excited that I got a long-term subbing job in an elementary media center. Since I used to be a full-time media specialist, I am happy about that. It has been a long time since I did it full-time though.
The bad news is I have tendinitis in my left thumb/wrist that is holding on. [...]
I forgot to write about the best birthday gift I got because it came the day after my birthday. It was the first day I got sick and I wasn’t feeling well at all. My son came up to me with his hands behind his back. He smiled and said “Happy Birthday”. He gave me [...]
