MeMom, I hope you get to do the December trip, but if you don't just remember you are making a difference in this world. Also, it won't be so horrible as you do get to go more than a lot of folks. I know skipping any Disney trips is hard, but there will be more ahead.
I know I have gone more than I have deserved to - and certainly more than I should have. There is just something about being in that place that I do not feel anywhere else in the world. I can't describe it, but it is the best 'happy' that I feel. We can do things here with the girls, too, of course, and that will probably become more the norm as the family grows and the cost that goes with that, but when I am in that happy place
with my family, that is my heaven on earth.
I hope I am making a difference for my students. School is the cleanest, safest, most normal part of the day for many of them, and I am glad to be a part of that. I really wish we didn't have all the testing and paperwork we have to do that burdens teachers to the point that we can't fully be there for the kids.
You do not need it but Good Luck tomorrow. I am sure you will WOW the clipboard people and begin to feel the stress melt away as one more thing gets crossed off your list.
You are amazing, strong, creative and special. All of that will shine through tomorrow!!!
I was so happy to turn my paperwork in yesterday. That's a huge weight lifted. Now I just have to be sure I know the script and cover everything on it for today. Too bad I can't just teach naturally and hit all the information throughout the week. I have to be sure the checklist has everything checked off within the approx. one hour visit.
My lesson is on a basal story about jellyfish, so at least the material is interesting. I like to teach non-fiction. Last week's story was
Click Clack Moo, so I'm glad my eval didn't fall on that week.
Thanks for your positive thoughts and encouragement.
Hi MeMom. Just think after tomorrow your eval will be over and you can breath a sigh of relief!
It is supposed to be in the 20's tonight! Coldest night of the season so far! We'd. Is Trick or treat but back up to the 50's by then so that will be good for the little ones.(and the parents).
Well I for one hope you go in December but you need to do what feels best for you. I do love reading these TR's though
.
You have had your share of financial issues lately. When it rains it pours usually with these financial things.
That is great that Brandi had another ultra sound and you got to see Hadley better.
Loved seeing the Hakuna Matta video on FB with them and the girls. So cute!
As soon as the evaluation is over, I have to get busy on a list of things that have been on hold for about a week!
This old brain can only focus on one thing at a time these days.
I have not looked at the Halloween forecast. My only thought of Halloween so far has been that I am elated that the next day is conference day and we have no candy-laden kids coming to school Friday.
The last picture of Hadley was good. The thought of her arrival will have to be what keeps me going this winter, since there's no spring Disney trip to be the dangling carrot.
That carload of crazies was having a good time!
And Bella's little voice saying everyone was singing was a cute ending.
Just what I was thinking, Pat. Sending good vibes for tomorrow, MeMom!
I will take them. My hour under the microscope is from 9-10, so send those vibes in a big way during that time. If I could just teach without being so aware of the checklist, it would be better. One of my kids didn't have his meds yesterday, and he was climbing on the furniture, crawling on the floor, singing out, making howling noises, etc. Kinda hope he takes his pill this morning.
I bet you did great.
I hope one day I am in the position to take my grown kids and their kids on Disney vacations! Money does not buy happiness but I sure am happy when I spend money on Disney trips!!!
