One More Week

I can’t wait for one of my biggest stresses of the year to be gone and I only have one more week.  Actually 6 days now.  I teach high school English and next week is our state’s standardized test.  So right now is crunch time – covering last minute details, testing strategies, and trying to seem on task without giving them too much to do right now so they don’t get overworked and stressed out themselves (hahaha!  I make myself think they care enough to be stressed out).

I can’t wait for next Tuesday to get here. From here classes go down hill – we read a few of my favorite pieces of literature in each – longer selections that we can spend a few weeks on each.  In the next twelve weeks, we’ll cover Romeo & Juliet, The Miracle Worker, The Crucible, and I think 12 Angry Men.  I’m thinking of maybe reading The Giver with one class and another novel.  I can’t wait to get into these awesome pieces of literature.  Yea!!

Yes, I Know

I’m not posting this week. I know…I’m sorry.  I’ve been busy and tired this week and really not even checking email.  Our state testing is on March 3, and I’m putting so much energy into last minute techiques, lessons, etc in the classroom that I’m just exhausted when I come home.  Stick around and I promise to be back to reguarly scheduled posting within the next few days.  Love ya’ll!!!

Lots of Posts

yea…I’m going to have a few posts today…sorry, but I’ve got lots of posts drafted on the computer as I’ve been writing them even though I couldn’t get online and post them….So please excuse me as I bombard you with news from our life, family, reviews and some other general information….Maybe I won’t overload the All About Kimberly system memory. :) Bare with me for one more week. Hopefully after Thursday, life around here will get back to normal and I’ll be able to visit everyone else’s blogs and catch up on your life.

Welcome Home Troops

These soldiers (including my brother, Tommie) returned to Fort Polk at 2 a.m. on Tuesday, December 30th.

What a Day

I never have these types of days, but I literally have slept almost the entire day. I’ve woke up a few times for a little while, but then I would go back to sleep before I knew it.  I am actually still in my PJs.  I never do this.  Even on lazy days, I shower and put on clean clothes. LOL

We got in at 6 this morning from Tommie’s welcome back ceremony at Fort Polk.  It was really touching!  I was amazed at how much it moved me to watch all those soldiers march in.  (I’ll be posting pictures tomorrow for Wordless Wednesday I think)..  I went straight to bed when we got in (I had to do all the driving (2 hours each way) so I exhausted.  I was back up at 8:30 (when Cameron woke up as she slept before we left, the entire way there, and the entire way back). But then after I got her settled (we stayed at Mom’s so I turned her over to her Uncle Tommie who was awake), I went back to bed and slept until 10:30.  I stayed up until about 2:30 this time, but had no more juice so I laid on the couch and went back to sleep.  I woke back up at 4:30 and am now up.

Now I know though that my schedule is going to be totally Screwed!!!  I will be up all night after sleeping all day and then be tired tomorrow. This should be fun. :)
