The Holidays

Hello from Whittier! Just a couple of weeks until Christmas! Yikes!

My sister Kelley complained that I wrote something nice about my family on a Thanksgiving post on Facebook but I never write it for them? She's not on Facebook very much, evidently. So if you know me, you know I have a nice family, I'd be lost without them, and I am grateful they are in my life.

One more week until vacation. I have a recital next week and there are a lot of practices ahead for this week. We have a Holiday show at school and my kids are singing and dancing to "Ay, Ay, Ay, Its Christmas" by Ricky Martin. They are cuter but the actual performance is sketchy. :-)

We have a Union Holiday party also this week and I need to go buy the decorations for the table. It has turned into quite the production.

Work is work. Too much testing, not enough teaching and 30 kids with no help is daunting. The fact we will not be going full day K this year sucks big time and the fact decisions are made with no input is frustrating. I think morale is at an all time low. A bright spot is that I have a nice parent that helps often and Derita has come in twice to work with my students! Always nice to have an adult in the room with me!

Nevin is at church, I don't want to go at 8:30 in the morning so we are at a standstill. He goes alone. He got quite sick last week and lost 10 lbs in 5 days. He really had nothing to eat but he is OK now. He does not recommend this method to lose weight.

Drop me a line!!
