DIBELS Next tomorrow, Promethean board still not working, DIBELS testing twice next week, huge role as a mentor to a new teacher who was thoroughly abused by the former resident of her classroom and has still not recovered, feeding the missionaries tomorrow (I suppose that means I have to put away those piles of unmentionables on the living room floor). Starting a new year is exhausting. Next year I think that I will just show up sometime around September 15th when everything is already settled. Have a good two days until the weekend! Love ya

I know how that is. Every time school started for me, reading for fun went out the window. I'm glad to be done so that I can read now... except that little mr. harrison hardly lets me! haha :)
