School starts Monday

Although I enjoy the summer and having time off, I'm ready for school to start back up. I've been getting my classroom ready for days. I'm so excited about this school year. I get to teach brand new stuff to a whole new group of students. Monday, 130 students are going to file through my room. I want to be an example to these moldable minds of seventh graders. They deserve to have at least one person who cares about them. I want the students to know that I do care for them, and I believe they can succeed. In addition to the 130, I have 41 cheerleaders depending on me to lead them in the right directions. I can't wait to have all of these kids spending their weekdays with me.

Busy Bee

Today, I woke up and decided to be a little worker bee. I have already made Ty breakfast, checked blogs, painted our third bedroom, and done 5 loads of laundry. It's not even noon yet. I've also danced/exercised for 30 minutes. I plan on moving a two shelves, making some phone calls, running errands, and making dinner by 5 o'clock. At the rate I'm going, I will be able to get it all done. What is wrong with my lazy self? I like this attitude in myself. I hope it stays.

Tomorrow is my first official day of school meetings. It is my least favorite day, because I have to meet everyone. I'm so terribly bad at meeting people because it is way out of my comfort zone. Tomorrow is especially bad because the parents come. The good thing is that classes don't start until the 21st. That gives me some more time to get things done.

In other news, Ty has been "unofficially" hired fulltime by his father. In two weeks he will change to commission pay instead of hourly. In six months that will increase, and then in a year it will increase again. In three years, Ty's dad will step out of the business. This is a huge answer to prayers. Ty and I are looking at moving to Cabot to be half way between both of our jobs. We found a great house, but I do not know if we can afford it. We are swimming in debt, so I'm not sure we will get approved. But it is perfect, 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and 1.6 acres. It also has a dishwasher and fireplace!!! Oh it is heaven on earth for Ty and me.
