School Starts Tomorrow!

Isn't it funny that I used to be a little kid nervous about the first day of school, and now I'm the teacher and STILL nervous. I'm nervous about the new grade, new group of kids, and the possibility of still no air conditioning! We were told that the "air man" was going to be working in our school all throughout the weekend to have all units functioning by Monday morning. Graves Elementary was put number one on the priority list because we had 15 units out. The maintenance department at MCS was claiming they were doing the best the could, but the truth is it just took a little pressure from the administration at the board. (THANK YOU WILLIE RHODES!) When Mr. Rhodes found out that we had that much air out my principal received a call 5 minutes later! Well, as of Friday of in service I still didn't have air, but I'm not going to loose hope. Pray, pray, pray for some air conditioning! Anyway, in service week went well. We were able to get a lot of things done, but last minute on Friday we were given a list of things to complete. I didn't leave my school until 6p.m.

Saturday was a great day! We had some visitors to Jazzercise class, Katie (Grisham) and my other friend Megan came to try it and loved it! I think Megan is going to join the YMCA and come to Jazzercise regularly. So awesome! I'm nervous about Jazzercise too because I'm going to slowly start teaching some routines in my class. Ann is so wonderful though, she is doing an awesome job of getting me ready for the workshop. I've been praying a lot about the workshop too. I know I'll make it through if being a Jazzercise instructor is what God has in His plan for me. After Jazzercise my super sweet boyfriend changed the oil in my car, wash and waxed it, and then went out to dinner. What great guy!

It's been awhile since I've blogged and I'm affraid that as the school year starts it will be harder for me to with school back in. Although with a new group of kids will come some pretty great stories! To all of the teacher out there, good luck with your new start to the year!

Here's just a funny picture that I wanted to share with y'all. When I got home from work last Thursday one of the neighbor cats that loves staring at Izzie and Tux was asleep on the patio. It was hilarious!

At first I was worried about him, but he was just really zonked out! Have a great week y'all!



Happy Blogging!
