It's almost over.....

I know......I know.......I know.......for those of you who actually read what I write, sorry for the long absence. Sometimes, I just don't want to take the time to write down what I'm thinking. BUT I will try to do better.

Ok, things have been busy with school SAT testing going on this last week. To tell you the truth, my brain has been fried by the end of the day and I was the one GIVING the test! We spent the week prior to testing practicing how to take the test with a few pages of samples. First graders have never really done this before, so I get the task of teaching them HOW TO TAKE A STANDARDIZED TEST!!! Joy, joy!! It really wasn't too bad, but we were off of our normal routine and I'm sure glad we are done with it! They actually did quite well and I didn't have to spend much time at all going thru their booklets and making sure their little bubbles were filled in correctly.

ONLY 5 MORE WEEKS OF SCHOOL!!! YAY!!! I have on my board at school only 25 more days....that sounds way shorter than 5 weeks.....don't know why???hmmmmmm.

JEB is doing great.......talking in fuller sentences and still saying new words. He's gotten so tall this year. AND he wants to help me in the kitchen with everything! Maybe he'll be a good cook???? I just have to have the patience to let him learn how to help....not an easy task!

The only negative thing is that I may not have a job for next year due to low enrollment. BOO! At first, this wasn't too great of news BUT after looking at our budget we have decided that if I sub for so many days in the month and tutor after school for so many kids, then we will do fine. NOT GREAT, but ok. So pray with us please, for more numbers. We need about 100 kids to keep things as they are.....and I am not the only one this may affect.

Well, gotta run. Time to eat and go to church!!

I've been a terrible blogger.....

So sorry friends.....I've been so busy these last couple of weeks, blogging was the last thing on my mind. BUT I'm still here.....JEB had spring break last week and John stayed home with him. My class has had Grandparent's Day two weeks ago, and then Field Day last week and getting ready for SAT week is always a joy.

It's just been so hectic!! We had an Open House on a Tuesday night and an all school praise/worship service the same weekend. Then trying to prepare for Easter!!

Anyway, we're still here and kicking. JEB and Daddy did great on their week off.....now to survive a week off with hubby!! Hopefully, we won't kill each other before it's over. He can do his computer game and I can scrap.........sounds like a plan, huh???? Yeah, I think so too!!

Hope everyone had a great Easter Sunday!!! Hallelujah!! He is risen!!

Just a thought that I heard at a teacher devotion last week.......Have you ever given any thought to why Jesus carefully folded the linen napkin that was covering His face in the tomb?? One devotion book says this.....it was Jewish custom for the master of the house to let his servants know if he was done with his meal by either wadding up the napkin, which indicated the master was done and would not be returning to the table or by carefully folding it and placing it on the side of his plate, which indicated to the servant that he had enjoyed his meal and would be returning to the table. How cool to think that Christ took the time to fold his face napkin to indicate to those who found his grave garments that He had enjoyed His time on Earth and that He would be returning......

I just love that!!
