If it is possible, I want to know how to do all the things life has to offer. I started in on Facebook, and lost track of my blog. I just have to say that is incredibly addictive. I began my page at the end of July, found some friends and reconnected, then found some more old friends and reconnected, and I believe this will occur until I die. So, it's not just fun to chat, but you also get to have neat apps like Virtual Bookshelf, the Lil Green Patch(which saves the rain forest), and other weird and fun things. I tend to send drinks and flowers to my friends way too much, and I apologize for that, sort of. Except in order to save trees, I have to send flowers...
I also meant to peel the last bit of wallpaper this summer, but that will have to wait. It just doesn't sound fun, so I decided to stick to what I love. Needless to say, my stairway and hall might have some fancy 60's stuff up there until I force my children to do it someday.
Finally, I want to tell my RCWP friends what I am up to. So, I have been pouring over Ralph Fletcher, Nancie Atwell, Anne Lamott, and others these last few weeks to just be a better teacher (damnit!) this year....all of this excitement for my 7th graders when out of the blue our district posted a new position--Literacy Coach! Holy Cow! My heart pounded. My head raced! My pudgy sausage fingers typed up a little cover letter and sent it! NOW I AM GETTING READY FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF TWO DIFFERENT JOBS KNOWING THAT ONE OF THEM I WILL NOT BE DOING!
I guess interviews aren't until next week, so I will be in a little time crunch at the beginning of the year if I get it...needless to say, I am a busy gal.
OOPS! Got to talk about the kids. Adam starts kindergarten in the fall. He's come a LONG way from those early days in the NICU. Charley got his first haricut last Friday--my little sweetie. Abby is simply amazing. I hope you all get to meet her soon.
Good Luck getting ready for the year!
