Whew....

Back to school meetings...bleck! Yesterday was a hodge podge of meetings and working in our rooms. Not much learned, except flip flops are lost to me forever:( Last night, we had open house. I had 16 out of 18 students come. That will make tomorrow much easier.
Today, we had a really nice team building exercise all morning. I feel like our administration is trying really hard to build a positive environment and it was really nice to see them take part in our meetings all morning! This afternoon, we had a couple more meetings and a little work time. I went to the house this afternoon....totally awesome. We have a porch roof and house roof. Tomorrow....shingles? Not sure, depends on the forecast for Thursday and Friday. I also got the sample backsplash I want and went and picked out countertops at the lumberyard. We are going with laminate b/c we think countertops are pretty easy to change in 10 years when we can afford something easier. We also took Cindy's advice and we're going to do something different with a couple interior doors. We're going to use old fashion screen doors for our master closet and pantry. I think it'll look really neat and add to the character of our house.
Well, off to bed. I'm just ready to get the year started and enjoy my class.
Keep in your thoughts and prayers:
Amee and her husband...they just lost Jim's father Cecil after a battle with lung cancer.
Jenn and Mike: long work week, death of an adminstrator, and moving: a recipe for meltdown!
All the mommies and daddies sending their children into our capable hands!
And pray for our hands!:)
