No Time

Have I really failed to update this since August 5? Man, have I been busy. It must be close to the beginning of school. Hey, wait. It is! No wonder!

I have spent the past two months living at school. I just finished up a class for our teachers and it went very well. I work with a wonderful group of teachers. We are all best friends and enjoy going to work every day for more reasons that loving kids. We enjoy working together. We have a lot of technology available to us and some of us are more excited about learning and using new things than others, but we are all willing to learn and try. Since I enjoy learning how to do things on our computers and the Smart Boards, I took it upon myself to help train our teachers. Everyone had been asking me for help, so I helped myself and prepared a two-day training for our faculty. I was very humbled when other teachers from our district asked if they could come, but we kept it for just our faculty so I could see how it would work out. Everyone was there and it went better than I expected. Mrs. Nelson even told me I was a success because she was able to make a paper that she wanted to make, and it actually looks really good. She was so proud of herself.

And because it is the beginning of school I am busy getting my room in order, which is a big job for me. I just can't seem to concentrate on just one thing to get done, but flit from one thing to another. I hope to be able to post some pictures of things on my classroom wikispace and blog. I hope I remember to have the kids update the blog each day. Now, what was that log-in and password?

I have been ready "The Infinite Atonement" that my dad gave us for Christmas. I was thinking of some wonderful things in there and wanted to post about it but just haven't had time. I can only read about 2 pages while I eat my breakfast, and then because I am running late I hurry and get off to work. I hope I can settle down and post some thoughts in a few weeks.

We had the Labrum family reunion on Sunday and it went well. We were happy to see so many of the family. We missed having Ross and Linda there, and all the "second generation" kids that couldn't come. But we had a good time and the food worked out nice. Thanks to Tammy for suggesting we ad sloppy joes and warm them in the big cooker we use for turkey. It worked out fine. I was informed that Candace is getting married on October 3, so I am filling my nights with busy hours of crocheting. I'm not sure I will have this afghan done by Octoer. So I had better get off this computer and go get busy!
