School

Well, I have made it through my first three days of school. For those of you who I have had a chance to talk to know, it was rough. About half of my kids did not listen. I felt like I was invisible. Also, the school is very unorganized. They don't take a second to think about the fact that I am new and don't know what is going on at their school. I actually had one of the teachers look at me when we were planning for next week and say, "Yeah, so, good luck on Language." I was absolutely shocked! The "planning" we did included them saying we are going to do "regular reading," a spelling pre-test on Monday (nevermind the other days of the week!), math we do one lesson a day, and science and social studies we will just try and see what happens because they dont understand the materials we received! I am still baffled about this. I have pretty much assumed that I need to do all of my lesson plans, and they could care less what I decide to do!

On a better note, I have completed 3 weeks of personal training and it is going very well. My trainer said in the beginning, because of my size, and body composition that I don't need to change my eating habits. She will give us a fitness evaluation again around the 1st of September. If just working out is not working, then I will try to eat better, and work on portion control!

On a funny note, I decided if I sleep on only my side of the bed, after 15 months, our bed is going to be slanted. So, I am taking turns sleeping on each side! I know I'm crazy, but I would hate for Paul to come home and always be sliding off his side of the bed!

Anyways, I really enjoy reading everyone's posts. I think we should try to keep it up even after Paul comes home!

Paul, I love you and miss you so much. I enjoy hearing your voice each and everytime you call!

Love to all,
Erin
