Being an Elementary Art Teacher

Now that I have started working and being in the classroom by myself I am pretty pissed off at the University for not preparing me very well. I think they tried but nobody, I mean nobody really understands what is going on untill you enter the classroom. I wish that I could get a quarter each time I hear MS. ROWE!! I NEED YOUR HELP. I would be able to retire next year! Today was a day that I just did not want to help anyone and I could not get away from it. I tell them how to do it, demonstrate how to do it, ask them questions about how to do it, and still they have no flipping idea what to do next.????

Hanging by the pool at the Wild Horse Resort

Staying at a resort is where it is at. We all had such a fabulous time in this place! I want to go back! It will be hard to go back to staying at regular hotels. Nice view of the golf course and the river. Beautiful weather, it would be fun to move to Pheonix for the winter!!

This was the medium temp. pool. We were so lucky to stay at a place that has three different tempetures in the pools and and awesome slide!!!!

The funest way to go down the slide was face first!

The dinner rehersal

I think Trudy just got a glimpse of the duck head!

So glad our ladies were able to make it to Phoenix!

The guys have no idea what they are in store for for dinner

Jen's 26th Birthday Embarrassment

So, to celebrate my 26th birthday we decided to go out to a karaokee bar and my friends thought it would be a good idea to sign Michael and I up for a duet....how embarrassing!!!!

Today was probably the worst starting day in a while. It already sucked because it was Monday, but I was glad because Maddie will be in town tonight. So, usually when I wake up in the morning I put pickles outside to pee and hit the snooze button for an extra few minutes of sleep. This morning for some reason I hit the OFF button. Two hours later I hear Pickles barking outside, glance at the clock and jump out of bed!! I have 30 minutes to get ready. Then when I go to the kitchen to get coffee and what do I see on the floor? Nothing other than a pile of fresh dog shit! Damn it! I don't have time to clean this up! But, I do it anyway because I did not want to leave it for Michael. Before I clean it up though I have to spank Pickles for her bad doing. As I am reaching for a sandal to whack her with she tries to escape and flings the shit all over the living room with her legs!!!! Damn Dog! Then I get late to school and run around like a headless chicken trying to get things done before the students get there. In the meantime my stomach was growling because I had no breakfast! The rest of the day has been OK but nothing ruins a day more than waking up to shit flying in your house!!

Pickles is One!

Yeah it was Pickles birthday yesterday!! She is so spoiled we took her to the river on the weekend and bought her a huge bone. When we first got Pickles she was the size of a gerbal, now she is full grown into a 30 lb awsome frisbee catcher!! Plus, she is great at whinning. We love you Pickles! P.s. Kayla when is Mojo b-day?
