Between getting ready for teaching, taking an inservice class and finishing up my current job, I've sorely neglected my blog. But I've lost some weight - though it seems to be going terribly slowly, and I'm still plugging away with Weight Watchers.
I'm excited about starting school and teaching again, but totally overwhelmed with the huge amount of work yet to be done. My biggest annoyance is that there are no - NO! - books in my room for the kids to read. I've been madly collecting from library sales and buying stuff as if I had money, but still, it's very annoying to have nothing left there. I've applied for three grants - not a word from any of them, and I've asked every group I know for donations, to no avail. Oh well, I'll keep plugging away and hope that the kids order a lot from Scholastic books so I can get free ones.
Saturday is the 5K I've been aiming for, and I think I'm going to go ahead and enter. We shall see. I don't have any illusions of winning, but I would dearly love to finish.
