So, I guess that my blog is going to be like a quarterly report of my life, at least until summer! I seem to have no time to do anything other than work, cook, clean, look after puppy, sleep, repeat! I can't even begin to imagine what having a child is going to be like! Having Walker has brought a lot more youth to our lives. We spend a lot more time playing outside together, which I am thrilled about, but right now all I can manage to focus on is school! My big TAKS test is on Tuesday, and I'm not sure I'll make it through the results! It's just so hard to tell how some of these kiddos are going to perform. Some of them are so inconsistent in class that it's scary! My dad's advice... "Just know that you've done your best, and if it's not good enough for your admin, they can try to find somebody better if they want!" Wow, let's hope it's good enough!
Now, on to the funny stuff.....let me see if I can find a few humorous things to update you on. Let's just go with a few local headlines from the Fairfield newspapers over the last few weeks:
"Achieve Big Fuel Savings.....Watch your Tractor RPM"
"Use for Chicken Manure Waste"
"Student Trapped in Gate"
Okay, so all but the last truly speak for the small town I live in! Come on, Tractor RPM, you've gotta be kidding me! However, the student getting trapped in the gate really was quite an adventure. He was one of my 5th graders that was coming back into the gym from P.E. Instead of walking through the open gate, he and many of his classmates ran through the automatic gate that was closing. Apparently, he didn't run fast enough, and the gate sensor was broken, because the gate pinned him and picked him up off the ground, bruising his rib cage. He's just fine now, but all of his classmates came in crying because they just knew that he was going to die! Talk about excitement! Goes to show you that kids don't always listen and use good judgment! They have been told a million times not to ever walk through the automatic gate. Now, talk about liability. Doesn't really matter how many times you tell a kid not to do something, you probably shouldn't operate a piece of machinery that has the possibility of squishing someone to death. I guess it's time to watch the lawsuits fly!
Okay, so a blog is really not a blog without pictures, so let me see if I can find some updated pics of Walker to post. He'll be six months at the end of April! My, how time flies!
So, here's a recent picture of Walker sunbathing in the middle of the afternoon. We had to snap a picture because his front legs were stuck straight out stiff as a board, but he was snoozing soundly! It was quite cute, if you ask his momma!
What a well mannered pooch, that is if it's not dinner time or play time, and if you're bribing him with a treat, as I was doing when I snapped this pic!
Okay, so even dogs want their moment in the spotlight. Appartently, Walker thought I needed to take a close up! Or, he was trying to eat the camera like he does EVERYTHING else! Yep, definitely attacking the camera!
More next quarter!
