the latest.

Weeks have just been flying by.  I am amazed that we are starting the 5th week of school (midterms already??).  At any rate I have had a GREAT school year thus far.  I feel so lucky!  I have my same crew as last year and they are perfect.  I had one not-so-great day (which it was rainy and i was crabby), but other than that, I've enjoyed getting to work each morning.  That isn't to say that I don't appreciate my time away from my students ( i certainly do!)... but it is wonderful to like going to work.

Both this Friday and last Friday we spent watching Jordan play football.  It is so hard to believe he is a senior already.  I grew up babysitting him- spent so much time with his family--- and here he is almost 18.  He did a great job (13 tackles and more!  and I am glad that we have been able to go and watch him  play before his season is over.  

Friday also brought my grandma's 85th birthday.  Erin/Bill, Stacy/Dylan, Auntie Lal, Dad, Jesse and I all celebrated with some cake and gifts for gram.  She and gramps both looked great and we had fun visiting with them and hearing old stories.

Yesterday Erin and I drove down to meet mom for breakfast.  We had a nice surprise when she pulled up and Tina was with her.  SO- we all enjoyed a yummy breakfast and then headed to the mall.  Mom found a couple of cute outfits and I found a BRIGHT GREEN peacoat which I justified as a need.  (?)  I LOVE it.  Luckily I got home to a hubby who loved it too.

Jesse was out hunting all day, so when he got home, he asked if we should go out for a nice dinner.  We headed to Valentini's before heading to bed.  I called it a date.  :) 

As for today- we've been  visiting my grandma and grandpa Poderzay.  We had a nice visit with them and now we are sitting at Uncle Robby's watching the Vikings with him, Tina and Jordan.  My dad also made a surprise visit.  Time to go eat wings....

Here it is the second week of school, and I'm already not feeling so well.  I've had 1 student who has missed 2 days of school for sickness, lots of kids coughing and lots of dry throats..... I guess it's just that time of year.  :(

Lucky for me, I made it through today and have the weekend to relax.  Jesse went camping again (just for the night) with some friends so I headed back out to dad's to catch up on some rest, good tv, and maybe a little pampering. I'll be honest-- I get pretty spoiled with Erin around.... she's great at making me lattes and tea with honey. mmmm.....

Sunday we are going to meet up with Matt, Taryn and their sweet boys.  Matt and Jesse are going golfing-- and Taryn and I will have some time to catch up again.  It's been too long!

Happy Weekend!

And-

I started my morning with a perfect honey latte and some blueberry coffee cake, which my favorite little sister 'betty' made for me.  

Week 1

I made it through week one of school.... and though I am exhausted, it went quite well.  :)

I'm so excited it's the weekend!  Today I am going to spend the day with Trisha since she's down and out for a few weeks... so I'll bring some schoolwork to her house and we'll veg out.  I suppose we'll watch a movie and probably take some naps too.  Gonna be a lazy day, and i'm ok with that!
