This time of year is so much fun in every aspect of life other than teaching Junior High. The kids are absolutely crazy with the thought of Christmas break being so close. If I could video tape my classroom and let you hear the questions you would laugh for hours. It's all we can do to contain them and try to force some sort of instruction on them. This week I had Texas Revolution projects due and we are watching the movie The Alamo in class. We have numerous parties & fun things planned for them, but they have their minds set that all 40 hours of school time this week should be spent playing. Needless to say, we have 2 more days and then we let the crazies loose to be wild at home for a week! I'm hoping to make it.
This week has been fun despite being REALLY sick with chest congestion. I went to see the nutcracker ballet with mom on Saturday, went to Ashtyn's 1st birthday party on Sunday, made fudge & cookies for Jessica's cookie exchange on Thursday, watched Christmas movies, & enjoyed time with my sweet husband. It's been a great week. Tonight we have Brian's holiday party for work and that will be fun too! I love this time of year. I love all the parties, time with friends & family, the music, the cold weather, the lights & the goofy Christmas sweaters. It's just exciting. Growing up in a family that made a big deal out of every holiday has made it even more special. Each tradition, moment spent with friends & family, dessert made and light hung all make life that much more exciting & I love it! Well, I better go get to work! Kids are coming soon!
