Amy's Perfect Little life

Hmm...

It has been such a loooong week. My student teacher was gone today so I spent every spare minute cleaning up the clutter. It was driving me CRAZY! I'm beginning to think I'm one of those poeple we laugh at that get hung up on certain aspects of life, like writing the same number 2,000 times just to get it perfect or touching every pole on the way home (a little monkish maybe) :)

Still not finished with my National Board entries....don't even want to think about it...I've been working on it for hours.

Had good Friday night with my kiddos. We ate pizza and rented movies! :)

More me

I am spending 2 days at a "rangefinding" meeting where we evaluate state testing open response questions for 5th grade. It has been so inter testing to see the process they use to evaluate these open responses. At first she had us complete one ourselves and then we saw how they were scoring them. Then we scored some for practice. I pride myself in my 5th grade science knowledge so I hate to admit it but I didn't score a 4/4 on mine. ;P I guess I will have to start looking a little closer at how I tell my students to answer/explain and show work on open response style questions. :)

Missing my babies. I missed their Valentine's Day fun. Dustin gave them their goodies (Austin=skittles/legos, Ashlynn=chocolates/stuffed animals, Jackson=toy ambulance that makes lots of noise for Daddy ---evil grin) :)

I made a new friend today, which is very difficult for me. She and I ran 4 miles together on the treadmills (new experience) I think I have a blister on my big toe! Anyways, I'm excited to have new teacher friend to hang out with who does MY kind of thing and has lots of other things in common with me. :) (maybe that's why it's so difficult...I know I'm weird!)

Full of Surprises

Jackson has been hilarious this weekend! We are trying to introduce him to the potty chair so we let him go naky around the house for a bit and we kept cheering when he'd sit on the potty. He then proceeded to get off the potty and pee all over Ashlynn's Barbie house she was playing with and then up Austin's leg!!!!!!! Everyone was screaming...Austin was screaming, "Ewww, get it off!" Ashlynn was hollering, "Ahhh! Mom, Jackson just peed on my Barbie house!" And lil ole trouble maker was sqealing in delight!! LOL! I couldn't do anything but laugh.

I got the tables turned on me when I was taking him to bed. He had a sippy full of milk drinking away. I asked him if he was ready for bed and he took the sippy out to spit a mouthful of milk in my face! :) Gotta love the little stinker!

What? It's already almost February 14th????

Working on this National Board is about to kill me!!! I will be so glad when I mail that box! lol

Dustin has been student teaching at my school. That has been a little weird but nice to have something to talk about since we are completely oposites in almost everything.

Little elevator boy is growing up fast! He's starting to talk now and is as cute as can be. He sure loves his momma! :)

More later... off to finish dinner, fold the laudry, clean up the house, work on National Board, pack for 2 days of meetings in Little Rock and some heavy duty diaper chaning! LOL! The life of a working mom! :)
