I can hardly believe that starts tomorrow. It has been a really busy summer, but I don’t think that I would have done anything different. I worked for Bossman for a few months, spent awesome time with my cousin G, got Ryan’s eyes fixed, had my wisdom teeth taken out,  strengthened relationships with family and friends, fell in love with and read all the books in the Twilight series, was there the day my cousin Gracie was born, was able to throw her a shower that rocked, painted the office, saw Harry Potter at midnight on July 15th (Ryan’s b-day), got Charlie fixed (no more peeing on things. Woohoo!), went to Austin for a kindergarten teachers conference, worked on my classroom, and spent some time getting to know my new co-workers. Whew! No wonder I’m so tired.

I really like my co-workers. I can already tell that I am going to have some characters in my class. This one parent came up to me at meet the teacher night and told me that I was going to have a tough year this year with his son in my class. Then the dad walked over to my desk, picked up some papers, and started reading them. No wonder his child doesn’t behave. He also listed lock picking as one of his son’s skills (and I’m pretty sure that he wasn’t kidding). I also had several kids attacking the smart board while there parents just sat there and watched. I kept thinking to myself, “Go ahead. Enjoy running wild right now because it will be the first and LAST time you get to act this way in my room.” I’m laying down the law tomorrow and having a come to Jesus meeting.

Naughty kids aside, I think it is going to be a good year. It can’t be any worse than last year. I’m off to finish a couple of things and make playdough for tomorrow. It’s kind of funny that this will be my first first day of school. Hopefully I will not cry (just kidding, kind of). I’ll keep you posted. Be looking for updates on Project 365. I have kept taking pictures, but I haven’t been really good on posting.
