Running on Empty

The new job is great! love it so far... haven't seen a sixth grader yet though... But I'm really enjoying all the people and planning. Everything is perfect. I have tons of fun ideas for projects and activities. Please share some with me! I need all the help I can get. Check this guy out http://mrwilliams6thgradescience.blogspot.com

I'm not really used to getting up early, so I'm definately still adjusting, and it's not that I'm not getting enough sleep. I sleep all the time, sleep is my best friends, but my body has never seen 5:30 am and doesn't really like it. Plus somehow I'm working 19 days straight (with only 5 days off in the month on August) so I'm definately running on empty. But I'm getting tons done and hopefully will have a head start on the school year. Some new teachers just started their scope and sequence today. Classes start in one week!

This weekend was busy, busy, of course. I worked Saturday and Sunday, trying to pay a few bills until I get my first paycheck at the new job. Amanda and I put together the Save the Dates on Saturday, it took forever, much longer than expected. But they looked great! Absolutely perfect! I just need a few more address and they'll be out this week. Next on the list: Caterer, Cake, Dress and Minister. Have you been to the wedding blog yet? http://lovedenwedding.blogspot.com

I passed my content test, Generalist 4-8. I think I got like 95% or something on it. Now I just need to apply for my certification (and pay) and get my finger printing done (and pay for that too). This alternative certification is costing me a small fortune. I thought it would be cheaper than UNT but not so much... Oh well.
