My week thus far!

Whew! You know those weeks that you think ya ain't got much going on...then all of a sudden you have EVERYTHING going on? Yup- that would be this week!
At the start of my week I had- TPRI test on Monday.............and pack on Wednesday.....that was it.

My week then went to..... Soccer beginning (unexpectedly)...to Jaylee coming down with Strep Throat and missing 1/2 day of work, on top of fighting the nurse to get her in (they were only open 1/2 day that day) to Grades due, immediately today at school rather than Monday, and recess duty today (since I missed yesterday) and conference with my principal during my conference today to discuss TPRI. Whew! Thank goodness I thought ahead and went ahead and used my 1/2 day yesterday to pack because I had to work til 5 this eve just to get caught up/ready for work tomorrow!

Jaylee, however, is already on the mend. The Dr. told me I would see massive improvement after the first 2 doses, and he was right! Other than not being able to eat almost anything, she is back to herself! Here's to fingers double crossed in hoping that Jentri will not get it. (Have an RX on hand just in case)

This weekend, you will find us off to DFW! It's our Annual Spring Nascar Lowe trip. The boys go to the NASCAR race and the girls find themselves at a huge garage sale--- hardly call it garage sale with the quality of stuff you find there, but to each their own! The race will take place Saturday evening (Jeremy loves night races!) and we will be shopping or relaxing in the hotel with the girls!  I love these trips with Jeremy's family. We always laugh a bunch, never have a true "itinerary" and we just go with it! Of course we have our traditional restaurant faves (Angelos- Cheesecake Factory- Pappadeaux-) However-- we are skipping Pappadauex this year and trying some kind of new "chop house" or other that Pa has heard about! So we shall see! I'll definitely be posting all kinds of pics of my bargains!!!

As for my TPRI this week- Wow! I am sure you are tired of hearing just how rewarding teaching 1st grade is, and aside from my little darlings shits currently (spring fever has hit!) they blew the roof off of that test! The goal at the end of 1st grade is to have each kid reading 60 words per minute. Aside from my 3 children who see a reading interventionist, daily, every one of my kids read 60 or above. 4 of them read above 100 words a minute. I could not be prouder! I have said this once, ok ten times, and I'll say it an eleventh- 1st grade is the most rewarding grade to teach.

So, here's to the weekend! Be sure and check back for bargain posts soon!
