Keeping up with the Joneses...

At the beginning of the school year, I plunged a head with keeping up this blog - even though I was barely able to keep it up last school year. I thought that one of two things would happen... either the school year would be good enough to give me time to write or it would be a repeat of the previous year and I would quit after a few months. Quit teaching that is.

Well, neither one happened. This hasn't been as much as an adjustment as last year, but neither have I had enough time to write AND fall asleep at 6.30pm every night. Go figure. Other educator bloggers seem to be able to have all this time to reflect and post - with pictures! So why can't I? After much pondering, I decided that 1. I'm not getting enough vegetables and 2. it takes too much time to do all this site work. Thus, I've added a salad to my dinner menu and move the site to blogger.

The vegetable thing is still iffy - roughage, bodily functions and immature freshmen are not a happy mix.

Giveaway!

Free Stuff! What a great way to start a week! A little somthin’-somthin’ for my peeps. (does sound hokey? ‘cause it sounds totally smooth in my head). CSN.com is letting me hand out a little gift card to one lucky reader! And by little, I mean, a substantial amount. $50 smackers. 50 semoleons. 50 clams, baby. Which can buy you something very nice to make your January quite fun or your Valentine’s Day a little more romantic.  CSN is comprised of over 200 online stores, where you can find everything from Delsey luggage to Le Creuset cookware! How styling would I look with this set, while attending my first AP reading? This has a definite wow factor! Yes! I was asked… still waiting for my district to work out the details as it takes place while we are still in school. No one can make the decision at this point because, well… there is no more money anywhere. I’ll know for sure by next week. Enough of school politics! This will be one of those giveaways with fantastic odds! Unfortunat...

I was tagged... Here are the instructions: 1) Go into your archives. 2) Find your 23rd post. 3) Find your 5th sentence (or closest to it). 4) Post the text of your sentence in your blog along with these rules. 5) Tag five other people. Here it is... Since I was to be in a meeting all day, the district hired a substitute for my classes. And thus my aversion to having subs in my class was born. Or rather the unknown factor of them - the planner in me cringes at the thought of being off schedule. Of course, I could be flexible, but flexible is much harder.
