Wish me luck...

I need all the luck that I can get!! IT IS SEP (parent conference) WEEK!! I have a lot of fantastic parents in my class this year, but there are always a few that give me a run for my money. This week is probably the most stressful week of teaching. I want to make sure that the parents know exactly how their child is doing and the things that their child has been working on and are successful at. The only problem is... there isn't a perfect kid and I usually have one thing that they need to work on. Sometimes this goes over really well, and other times...not so well. I also am a maniac at home and my husband isn't handling it well. I think that if you haven't been in the classroom a lot OR if you aren't a teacher, you don't totally understand the stress of this week and ALL of the work and time that goes into these conferences. Well I just thought that I would vent a little so that I feel better and ready for the week!! I hope that everyone has a fantasic week!! Good luck!!

Busy..

We had a busy and long January. I got a chance to go and visit my niece in Arizona. She is so adorable and I fell in love with her at first sight. My brother and sister-in-law are such good parents and love this baby more than anything in the world. It was fun to go down and see them!! I now have 2 sister-in-laws that are currently pregnant!!! Trav has two sisters that will be having a baby this year. One is due in March and one is due at the end of July. We are so excited for them and can't wait to have all of these babies running around. !! Then, last weekend I passed Hunter's Safety, so now I am an offical hunter!! It will be so much fun to go hunting with my husband and maybe actually shoot something. (I know, I should have done hunter's safety when I was like 10, but better late than never, right?). My husband is still amazing. He is my best friend and loves and supports me even when I am a pain in the butt. We have so much fun together and I love every second of it. I am still teaching 2nd grade and love my class, but this year is kind of dragging on. I think that it is because of the cold weather, so I am hoping for warm wheather soon. Well, that is about all that has been going on around here. We are just loving life and enjoying the ride!!
