McAllen, Texas

So there is not much that I can say about this except that I can't watch it without tearing! I love my brother! He leaves May 9th and I can't think about that for to long either or I start crying again!

Spirit Week!

I am a big fan of spirit week! I believe that even as a teacher that I should dress up and participate!

 Pajama Day!

 Yes, this is a forever lazy that does include a convinent butt flap! (funny story I had a meeting at Lunch this day to met the new Trio lady and when I walked in she did a double take and then informed me that she thought I was a student! I informed her I was actually older then her oldest child who wrestled as a freshman when I was a senior) 

 Westner Day!

 Super Hero Day! (this day is really hard to dress so I had a cape and a ram power shirt and that is awesome enough right)

 Swag Day (also really hard to dress! If you wanted to know what swag means take me then think opposite and then you have swag. At least I tried right!) 

Eighties Work Out Day! Just in case you were wondering I am rocking the banana clip!

(Just for those that are wondering no I didn't mean to do the same pose for all the pictures. Those who have known me for a while are just suprised that my head is cocked)

Matchers!

When parent teacher conferences keep you at school unit 7:30 or later it is really hard to get back to  school in the morning! Today was such a hoodie and jeans day that Pam, Vicki and I matched!

A Day At the Grocery Store!

So usually I hate grocery shopping because if I didn't eat I would have a lot more money! Just because every body needs it they make food so expensive! But this is a non complaining blog espescially cause the last few have been really bad! So I went to the grocery story today! It is always awkward for me cause it is guaranteed that I am going to see a students! It is awkward because you have to decided whether or not to agnolodge that you know each other (this will come into play later)! I also have difficulty reaching the grapenuts. Either I can bearly get it or I have to ask a fellow shoppers! Today it was way far back and no one was in the ille! So as I contemplated if I could stand on the bottom shelve and still reach someone turns down the ille! I decided I will ask them! I am surprised that it is a boy from my ward! I once sat at a stake activity with this boy and his friend they are 18 and from Carey (Aunt Mellonee's hood)! I said quite loudly Blake can you reach these grapenuts for me! He nicely did then he felt very chatty! We talked about how he is getting his mission call this week! I told him that Kyle was hoping to get his this week too but he will probably get it next week. Then we parted ways! Then I saw Mr. Wheeler! I love Mr. Wheeler he was my elementary principal! I kind of laughed because my dreaded fear of students totally turned on myself! I was now the student trying to figure out if this principal knows me enough so I don't make a fool of myself when I say hi! But he said Hi FIRST the kind of hi like I know who you are hi! I said Hi back and as I walked away I thought this is why I love you because you knew who I am! There are very few people besides for friends and family that reconize me outside of context! Really just Mr. Wheeler and Dr. Hatzenburger my really hard super funny history professer!

PS I finding it find funny I got a new Camera to post pictures on my blog and all I have taken is from Christmas!

Don't Emotional Blog 2

I waited a whole day before I penned or really typed my annoyance this time! I forgot to mention on the first emotional blog that I had locked my keys in my car at the gas station for the 2nd or 3rd time earlier in the day! I really was quoted saying "You might want to get behind another car because I locked my keys in the car and won't be moving it for a while" Shout out to poody for bring me the keys (for those that don't know that is my highly annoying nickname for Natalie and I might have done a shout just like this one from the pullpit at church once. "There is a special place in Heaven for her for being my friend"- her quote not mine)! Back to the orginal story! I am driving my mom's green car because the window is coming in today and hopefully tomorrow my dad will be able to fix it! So Tuesday night I decide that I should fine my school keys that I keep leaving at home (both tuesday and friday) So I look all over my house, room, everywhere then I start to retrace my steps! I remember that on thursday I went to Winco to pick up a few things to feed the missionaries but I can't remember where I put my keys! (no purse this will come in later) The I remembered on Friday I went to the bank and then to Fred Meyer (purse used and credit card shoved in ti).Then I went to other places and I remember that after Natalie and I went to the game and I moved my purse to the back! So by now I realize that when my car was broken into something was missing I am just such a space cadette that I forgot my purse was there! So the bad guys/girls got my purse with a credit card for sure and maybe my school keys which are still not found! I remembered this all super late on Tuesday so on Wednesday I got everything squared away with only a few fees because of my lost/stolen items! But have no fear the crazy day continues! E building had no heat until 2nd hour because of a broken controller! I had a crazy day running around the school like a chicken with my head cut off including taking my students to the wrong computer lab! I gave my students their midterm which the average score was a C!
    Happy Notes of the Day:

•   e building had a Chinese Food day
•  I went to institute with a new goal of going more then 5 times (Don't judge me I have graduated twice and really don't want to do it a third so I am rebelling) 
• Had pizza for dinner 
• Talked to Robby with Kenna and Kyle for 1 hour

Moral of the story: Do use purse :)

Don't Emotional Blog!

So some times I read blogs and I think I oh sweet heart don't blog when your angry! But some one broke my car back passenger window while I was at the movie last night! So I am super annoyed!  But the movie was good and I have an awesome Dad! He came and vacuumed the car out and now he is going to fixed it!

Why I am not Adult enough to where boots to School!

I got  two pairs of totally awesome boots for Christmas one are flats and the other have a strong sturty heel and are very comfortable or a least for the 20 minutes that I wore them! The first few hours were really easy not to shabby! I thought "I am going to keep the heels, I really like what they do for my posture"! Well by 5th hour I was not feeling it at all! My feet were super hurt! So I did what any foot respecting person would do I took my boots off!  This is nothing new I take my shoes off all the time and nothing happens! I was up at the front of the room writing on the board and all of the sudden the fire alarm went off! And what did I do ... Scream of coarse! (Our old principle used to tell us when the fire alarm was but not this one!) As the students started to leave laughing at me I remembered that my shoes were still off! I yelled "I don't have any shoes on"! So I tried to hurry really fast and put them on the wrong feet so I yelled "Oh no the wrong feet!" I had to run out with my boots not zipped up! My students were laughing so hard! It was a good bonding monment with my students!
