Avoiding Homework

OK, so I'm going to try to learn how to join this crazy blogging! :) I don't know how to make everything pretty like everyone else's pages and I don't really have time to work on it much...but I'll try. :) I need to be grading Calculus tests, but I decided to look at Flo's new baby because she said she had pictures and then I saw that I actually had TWO comments on my pics that I uploaded last night so I thought I'd waste a little more time before those tests get graded. :)
Although this has been a short week at school, it seems SO LONG! With Ethan having strep throat and having to go to the doctor in Tyler on Monday, I really didn't get to enjoy my day off. I always feel so behind at school, but I am adjusting more and more as each day passes. And I'm learning SO much Calculus that it amazes me! I told some of my students today as I was helping them review for their test that I really understand these concepts better than anything we've learned so far. They asked me if I was learning right along with them, and I said, "No, I'm about 2-3 hours ahead of you!" :) I am glad that I'm getting the opportunity to teach Calculus after 15 years of teaching--I get the brightest children that actually want to learn! It's fun to work with them (most of the time). I have had to issue a NEGATIVITY and WHINING BAN in my class the last few weeks--the senioritis is already setting in!
I must get to my homework now but I promise to try to work on this blog this weekend! I'll leave you with a few more cute pictures of my family...
Ethan got to make "popcorn snow angels" at daycare the other day! He had a blast doing that! He's also addicted to watching Elmo in Grouchland on our bed. Evan is just addicted to Legos & Nintendo DS now.
