Holy Guacamole!

WoW....School has not even started for kids and I am already stressed to the Max with no time to spare...is this really how the entire semester is going to go? I may end up in the hospital! (Lets hope not) Anyways, my unit is now switched to water.....water? seriously? I think I would rather be doing bugs. Whatever.... Lets see what else....I got my class list today, it started at 26 students on monday, then 20, then 18, now 19. Lets hope it stays put!! I can tell I am going to have issues pronouncing names. Well, enough for now. I am off tomorrow to Sandy Pines for one last weekend of Sanity!

Mixed Feelings

Well, I totally have mixed feelings about how this semester is going to go. I love my new CT, she is wonderful and I can tell she is going to be a lot of help and a great role model. My prof on the other hand is another story. Her and I DONT see eye to eye and I can tell we are not going to be the best of friends this semester. Unit plan on insects??? Not sure what to think about that!? Well see how it goes...I'll keep ya updated :) hopefully...

Today was my first day as an official member of the Buchanan staff for the next three months. It went great. The staff is wonderful and I can tell this is going to be a great semester...busy, but great! Today I spent the whole day organizing the classroom and Sept. two is when I meet at the kiddos....man am I excited. (I just hope I can pronounce their names :))

Weekend in TC

This weekend the science girlies all headed up to Traverse City for once last get together before we are all back in school. ( in one way or another) We had a blast!! The pictures show some of our excitement!!!

We started out with dinner at Sledders....an old time favorite for my family :)
We couldn't leave without smooching the moose!
Then off to MOOMERS for the best ice cream in America
Day Number two was spent wine tasting, and lots of it!!!
"detention" was our favorite...perfect for all us teachers!
We all purchased that along with two other bottles....12 total :)
We ended the night at the beach bums baseball game.
They weren't very good but we supported them with our new t-shirts anyway

Let's try this again...

So I have not been on this thing in forever. Surprise, surprise. Now I really am going to try to keep up with it. We have had a crazy busy summer. Being first time home owners takes a lot of time. We are loving every minute of it though. Jon is now busy preparing his classroom and I am getting lots of last minutes things done before school starts. Come Sept. 2 I will have NO life until December. :)
