First Day Of School!!!

Remember how nervous you were for your first days of school as a student?!?!? Multiply by 100 when you are a first year teacher!!!! But today went great! I finally got to meet my students, and it was not as bad as I thought. So I think it is going to be a good year.

Thanks to all of you that sent me birthday wishes that I haven't replied to. I appreciate your e-mails so much--so don't stop! This last week was SO busy! I was at the school until 2am a few nights planning and setting up my classroom. Yolande has been super busy too, so if anyone has been trying to call lately and we haven't been home, that's why. We didn't even have any food in our house or laundry detergent, etc. because we had no time to shop!

My birthday was good. On Friday we had a party at one of the other teacher's houses because har birthday was on Friday too. The power went out halfway through the night so we had to pack up the ENTIRE party, stereo and all, and head over to her sister-in-law's house to continue because her sister in law has a back up generator. That kind of thing with the power happens all the time here, I've been told.
