This week was very crazy! As my co-worker, Kristy, puts it, "Life as a teacher is never boring." So true. As a new teacher, I need to be JPASed by the principal twice a year (with two observations each time). Well, I finished up my last of observations this week. Now all I have to do is wait for my scores. In the middle of this, I also had to judge our school science fair and had a BUNCH of student drama. There were tampons in the hallway, one of my boys wrote the f-word in the bathroom and was put on in-school suspension, and two of my boys got into a fight at recess. TOO MUCH DRAMA! Then there are the girls in my class who are ALWAYS having disagreements. Their parents keep calling me asking me to change seats and that there kid is being picked on. I am going to start telling them that their kids need to solve their own problems. I am a teacher and I have 29 students in my class. These girls are taking my time and time away from the other kids in my class every time they have a disagreement. I'm done.
In other news...I started Weight Watcher at the beginning of January. I have done the program once before (years ago). I am not going to meetings or anything; I still had some of the old materials and I am doing it on my own. So far, I have lost about ten pounds. There are some weeks where it feels like everything is happening REALLY slowly. But I am determined to stick with it.
So that's about it. There isn't much else going on.

Way to go Steph! 10 lbs! That's awesome. I just started up my weight watchers stuff this week too! Good luck....let me know how you are doing. As the daughter of a teacher...I hate to tell you that the drama WILL NEVER END!! Good luck with that too! Love ya!
Thanks! I am glad. Not every week is great, but I have to keep myself motivated! Good luck to you too! I know that it will pay off for both of us in the end!
As far as teaching goes, I remember having drama with my friends at that age. I was telling Kristy that I feel like looking up my old teachers and vice-principal and apologizing for all of the drama!
