just got back from a conference about the common core standards. Wow!! Lots to digest and take in!!

it's a good night for a bowl full of chili!!

to bed early tonight. Giving the SAT test bright and early tomorrow morning!! Sure glad it's not me taking the test!!!

ready for the weekend!!

can school get any crazier? Bomb threats galore last week, now expulsions for drugs!! Yikes!

had a very productive day!! Got 5 out of my 6 papers written and submitted for next week!!

Just returned back home after trying to lure the dog out of the retention pond for over 1 1/2 hours. I hate it when she escapes!

what is it about a dreary day that makes you so tired? I feel like it should already be Friday. What will Friday fell like?

what a sweet way to start the day. My daughter came into the bedroom, leaned over and gave me a good morning kiss!!

how many hail storms one can get in an hour. Just had our second round clear through. The roofers just can't keep up!!
