I Do Apologize....

2008. Year of the Ocho as my friends like to call it. I can't believe it is already mid-January. It was rung in with a wonderful trip to Atlantic Beach; an outer bank off of Wilmington. There are many pictures on facebook so I won't go into detail. Good times were had by all.

I will have a new teacher in my classroom soon. Carrie will be leaving to take a part time position as a magnet coordinator (still at Washington though!) and Theresa Ash will be coming in. Everyone has said how wonderful and nice she is, so we shall see how much of a change this will have on me and the kids. Though at times I've found it to be a pain, beyond exhausting and frustrating, Carrie has pretty much gone MIA in the classroom. I have been left alone pretty much everyday since we've been back. I have taken advantage instead of being pissed, and have turned it around and not only have I noticed, but the kids, and other teachers have noticed a change in me and the kids. It's been wonderful. As Carrie has said, this will be good for they have become all but solely dependent on me, and sadly (for her) may not be all too upset when she is gone for good. I'm just ready for some stability.

Merah: just for you, I'll be updating my musical selections tomorrow.... and I do apologize for not having written in a long time. Sadly it seems the last thing I want to do when I get home from school is sit in front of a computer. But for you, I had to :)

Anyone have any good CHEAP local suggestions for me to do on my 4 day weekend this weekend?!?!?!!?!?!!
