On the work front....well that's a different story. Work itself is awesome. I work with the most wonderful people in the world and for the most amazing principal anyone could ever have. I have come to dislike many of the parents whose children we teach. I have a problem with ignorant people who resort to petty accusations and anctics to try to prove things that are not so. If half of these parents spent even a fraction of their time teaching their children basic fundamental skills as they do gossiping, it would make our jobs that much more rewarding and the students that much more productive. I just don't get it and i guess i never will. It's a shame that people can feel that way about one of the safest schools i have ever seen. Maybe they should actually spend more time at the school via volunteering or just getting to know the teachers by actually attending the conferences,etc so that they can really know where they are sending their children everyday and who with. Because obviously they have no clue, which is very sad. All i know is that this school is my kids' second home and they love it and i have never felt any threat to their safety...oh yeah and i volunteer at almost every event while working fulltime and going to school fulltime so i have NO sympathy for parents who say they do not have time for these things. Your kids should be so important that you make the time regardless of your schedule. Just sayin!
Let me get off my soapbox before i get angry. School is going great! This semester is very demanding but it is what it is. I just have to stay on task and make sure i hold myself accountable for my work. It is all up to me to do well and so my grades will reflect my efforts. No pressure:) i can do this. Nothing worth it comes easy and i am not a quitter so let's do this! It all comes down to excellent multi-tasking skills and efficient time management.
My baby girl turned 11 this past week and she is getting so big. I still remember when she was born. i do not worry much about her. She has a great head on her shoulders and was taught to live her life with PAW pride at williams. Postive attitude,Act responsibly, and Wise choices are the things she tries to live by and i think she does a pretty good job. Don't get me wrong she is still 11 and thinks she knows it all but at least i know that when it really counts she does what's right. Instead of a party she has asked to go to medieval times so that is what we are going to do. She absolutely LOVES horses so i am sure she will enjoy it. I tease her that we have snow every year since she was born because the day she was born it iced and snowed and it has ever since at least a little. On that note...
Today is day 4...yes 4 of lock down at home due to inclement weather. This has got to be one for the record books! First it "thundersleeted" on tuesday and iced up all the roads. Wednesday was fun with icy everything outside (hockey rink icy) and to top it off rolling blackouts ALL day long for the lucky ones. We must have been super special in our area because we had NO power all day! We just sat around the fireplace(thank goodness) until dark. Talk about family bonding:) Thursday was still icy since temps have not been above 20's all week. We ventured out to visit mom and dad but even the sidewalks were dangerous. Not the safest driving conditions either. Today we woke to about 5 inches of snow on top of the ice! This is Texas people! This doesn't happen in Texas! Not to mention we are hosting the super bowl at cowboys stadium in arlington. Those northerners (Steelers vs. Packers) must be laughing at us. We should get some sun and above freezing by tomorrow so hopefully a sense of normalcy will return soon. If not maybe we should all look at this as a sign to relax and take it easy. To enjoy the company of those around us and not take it for granted that tomorrow is never promised today. Well folks, my kiddos are waking up and amazed by the snow...so off we go to make some memories!
