Whoops

Looks like almost an entire Quarter has gone by without a single blog post. I attribute this to the following: In-services, Professional Development, Staff Meetings, Data Team Meetings, Moving, organizing a HUGE event for our school at the end of the year, etc.
No excuse I know I know. I HAVE learned a TON in these past weeks though!
Bad news bears! I will be loosing one of my 3rd grade girls in just two weeks. Her family is moving out of town, this girl that started the year in a really rough spot and tried to give me heck through all that to now we are close and have an amazing understanding and she has achieved SO much! Of course I will be sad to see her go, however happy I have made arrangements with her folks to keep in touch via snail mail until I move overseas and then emails after that! This girl and I have made huge impacts on one anothers lives, of this I am sure, and thankful!
Also I have my second student out who will be gone for 2 weeks! TWO WEEKS?! Does anyone out there know how much goes on in 2 weeks? Not to mention we will have spring break right after that, OH and he was sick this whole last week, then I had a professional development day on Friday, when he was there, IT WILL BE AN ENTIRE MONTH that passes without seeing this kid. SAD FACE. I am super sad because he had made major growth lately, I just hope he really works hard on his "vacation" so he maintains that work :)
So our lease on our rental was up the end of February, and Hubby doesn't leave until April, and I will be staying til summer to finish teaching, we didn't really want to sign a new lease anywhere and our original plans fell through. Originally, we had planned to stay in the teacher housing right next to the school, for very cheap rent. However the district went ahead and rented it out the weekend or 2 before we needed to move in. Luckily for us we have amazing friends! So amazing in fact, they were willing to take us, and our mangey mutts in :) so while they are both still deployed we took over their abode! The Mr. Friend will be home soon and we will do our best to stay out of his way and keep the dogs chill. Its a fairly decent amount of time and I want to do my best to respect his space and such. Here's to hoping I don't wear out my welcome!
While I am sure there are a gazillion other things I will stop here as it shall be time for ice-cream and then perhaps snuggling down with a good book!
My goal: more blogging!
