Sunday

Wanted and hoped to sleep in this morning….sleeping in for me is anywhere between 9 and 11am. I woke up at 7.30am! Boo.

So i spent it wisely, getting stuff done and having an extra long time with Jesus. I’m reading Deuteronomy.

The first half of the book just spoke and spoke and spoke to me in all new ways, I just loved every second. This morning i got into all the crazy laws and stuff, and all I have to say is that I’m happy we’re not under that law and there is grace when we do screw up.

I loved this morning’s message. Pastor Nate is so gifted in his ability to teach. I loved learning more about the thief on the cross that had too much pride. Never heard anyone talk about the guy on the cross next to Jesus who couldn’t humble himself enough to recognize that Jesus is God.

Makes me think about how some people wait to give their lives to the Lord. Lots of times trials bring repentance for people, but in some cases, trials can bring a more hardness of heart. Don’t wait for something to happen, give your life to the Lord today. What do you have to lose? Compare that to what you have to gain!

This week is a busy week with conferences and a full five days again of teaching. Also, a wedding to attend and then going to Grandma’s 90th birthday!

training

Im at a PBIS training right now. PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Something Something. I’m the King Coach for PBIS.

I have a sub in my class and its a half day, but I get to be here a full day. Conferences are in full swing too. I scheduled one at 2:45 so I’d have to leave early….darn it….

Getting a bunch of teachers together is always a fun eventful time. Some teachers continue to be loving, caring wonderful teachers that are always that way, then you also get the cranky, “I’m too good for this” type of teacher who cannot stand the activities and conversations we are doing and having, even though they basically volunteered to be here.

hehe.

My principal was suppose to be here, but unfortunately my school was broken into for the 3rd time this last weekend. My poor principal’s laptop was stolen again. The cops called her right away this morning and thought they found the laptop, but she needed to go and identify it. Its too bad that someone would steal from an elementary school, especially one with poor students and poor teachers within a state that already has NO money that is given out to schools!!

Hopefully it was her laptop!!!

UK

I bought my ticket to the UK last week. Super stoked to be heading out to my favorite place for a week. Everything about it just makes me smile!! :-)  And with all the flights and jetlaggedness I will be sleeping a lot—so even though its such a long way to go….I will be able to rest on my week off quite a bit.

I told my students that I would be going to England over our Fall Break. Their first thing they said was…"You’re leaving us? Who will come and be with us if you aren’t here!” I love my students!
