Random Moment #1
Assessments. Assessments. And, more assessments. My poor kids. As soon as they finished one test I slapped another in front of them. However, I couldn't be more pleased with their scores. #allmybuttonspopped
Random Moment #2
We had our final field trip this week. The kids were so excited to get to go to Turtle Bay Exploration Park and so was I until the weather man uttered three little numbers . . . 107. Oh lordy!! The kids still had a blast catching all the indoor and OUTDOOR sights despite the heat (and I managed to as well), but our shirts were wet with sweat stains and our hair was plastered to our heads by the time we boarded that bus home.
Random Moment #3
We said goodbye to my wonderful teaching partner yesterday. I don't know if y'all knew this, but I moved to part-time in January to accommodate my physical therapy schedule and help me deal with some heath issues. Ms. Cahoon was an amazing teacher who poured herself into my precious babes while I was out. She saved my bacon again this year and I am so lucky to call her friend.
I rounded up all the kids on the playground before school started on Friday (a day I was supposed to be out)! They each had a red rose and a letter they had written. The plan was foiled (marching up to the classroom in a big old mob when the bell rang) when one of my cuties told her she was needed on the playground . . . ah, kids and secrets. However, she was still totally floored as he didn't tell her why she was needed (phew). She rounded the corner to the playground to be greeted with 22 smiling faces. We finished out the morning with sticky sweet cinnamon rolls and milk! I don't know if you'll see this post, Tiff . . . but, thank you . . . from the bottom of my heart! The kids love you. The parents love you. And, I love you.
Random Moment #4
The dreaded report cards . . . . BLARG! I have been working on them off and on all week and finally got serious this morning. I locked myself out of Facebook, turned on some tunes, and sat at the kitchen table with my laptop. The last three comments were harder than pullin' teeth, but I finished!!!
Random Moment #5
I have a stellar afternoon planned. With the temperature forecasted to be right around 115 today, I am headed out to the Chamber of Commerce's Annual Crawdad Festival to serve up some ice cold beverages from the Rotary booth (thanks for signing me up dear). It's always a good time, but I just hope I don't melt!!

| Ok, so I stole this picture off of the festival site and I have NO idea who these people are. However, I am hoping to replace it with a pic of me and this mighty crawdad!!! |
Alright, friends. I am off to shower (finally). Gotta get my bum to the fairgrounds. I will see you soon with something that you can actually use . . . I promise! Thanks for visiting :)
