Friday at last! This week has been a whirlwind. Nothing out of the ordinary, just super busy for some reason? Mr. Wonderful is putting in ridiculously long hours gettin things up and running and making sure all the programming is right. Now he can concentrate on making all of the operation...

URGH! Just lost my entire post, GRRRR Well here I am two days in a row - can you believe that!? Rainy, cold and windy here today. My garden is super wet and sloppy, guess my plan to not plant it until after Mother's Day is going to work out perfectly. Chris - I bet we can all name at...

I just got word that a colleague of mine, another agriculture teacher from a South Dakota high school passed away this morning. His name was Rich. Please remember his family and his students who will now go to the state convention and compete without their greatest "cheerleader and coach"...

Oh heavens no! 45 kids to state convention, only 58 miles up the road. Only taking one kid to DC. Whew!

Sandra - you snuck in while I was writing. Sounds like you are really getting busy in your yard. I'm ready to get out there but not anxious to start mowing!

Well, it's finally the weekend! I'm holding down the couch having some coffee with homemade bailey's irish cream! Yummy! I've got today to try and get some things done around the house then tomorrow it's off to our state convention with about 45 kids! Anyone want to come along to help keep...

Even my high school kids are talking about this gal! She is amazing, love that she caught Simon totally off guard!

LindaP - good luck at your meeting! Hope you got a good seat. ;) Tali - I was the first one there and got the absoulte back row! :)

UGH - I have a meeting all morning and then in-service all afternoon. Serious butt time! This has to be quick so I can get rolling and get to my meeting before all the good seats in the back are taken :) Becky welcome to the O, you will love it here! Hi to all the rest of you lovely O's...

Tuesday and back to school with me. It will be a busy week as I have a meeting all day tomorrow then State Convention begins Sunday afternoon and runs through Tuesday! Getting 45-50 kids all moving in the right direction at the right time is a challenge I had a great day with the girls...

Yay - Friday! Yes, I did hold down the couch with several cups/pots of coffee this morning. Could not find a good chick flick to watch though :( I just finished moving a bunch of "treasures" for the umpteenth time. But Mr. Wonderful says he's going to work on the house - more specifically...

Sandra - someone mentioned the olive oil thing - I have to concur - it is awesome. I have really dry skin and I rub it into my skin after showers, makes a huge difference!

Chris - Block scheduling will be like this for us next year. Each class will be 90 minutes long and there will be four classes on "white" day and four more on "blue" day. There will also be a 40 minute SRB - Student Responsibility Block (study hallO each day between third and fourth block...

Sally - I was actually born in DC and have been there several times. There are still things I have not seen! We've got a long list, we'll see how far we get. Depends a lot on how much time we'll be spending in structured activities and meetings.

Mary Ellen - We'll fly in May 6th and leave on the 10th. We are staying at the Holiday Inn Capitol on C street. Looks like it will be convenient to lots of things. The student that is going with me is really excited and has a long list of things he wants to see. We'll see who has more...
