Here I go again on my own...

Dropped the hubby off at the airport yesterday morning...boo. I am praying that he does well this time, and is able to complete OCS without any trouble!!  The kids and I are already missing him like crazy.

School starts on Monday.  The kids both had open house this week, and I think they will both be in great classes with great teachers.  Lan clug to my leg for a while, but he finally allowed me to pull him off long enough to check out the room. Lex was excited to meet her teachers, and she is ready for 5th grade.

Gonna try to enjoy the weekend, maybe the kids will stop yelling at each other soon, ugh!

Where did my summer break go???

Every teacher knows the best part of our job is SUMMER BREAK, ha!! This summer we only had about 8 weeks off, and the time has flown by.  Monday I will start pre-planning for my 8th year.  I am excited to be teaching a gifted class this year, and that we will be teaching 4 classes.  I am moving back to 7th grade, and I am hoping for a really good year.

The girl child will be in 5th grade this year (HELLO! When did she grow up so fast?!), and the boy child will start pre-k (Where is my baby???).  They are both excited, and I hope they continue to be excited throughout the school year.  I picked up their new bookbags today, and Landon was showing it off and saying he was ready for school.

Ryan will leave soon for try #3 at OCS.  This will be his final chance.  This time he is going to Maryland/Pennsylvania for training.  If he he makes it through (WHEN HE MAKES IT THROUGH), we are planning a major family trip since the next week will be our fall break from school.
