I'M TIRED!!!

Okay, I get three periods that are conference periods, but we've been threatened by the AISD gods not to mess around on our computers, so that's why I don't update at school. And by the time I get home, I am beat. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it.

We've got three weeks down in school, and it's been a pretty good time. I've got a few students that I'm questionable about, but out of 100 students, three or four is a great average I think! Some of my freshmen are going to be great as they get older! And my men in the beginning choir are also bursting with potential. It could be an exciting few years. Of course, I still have to get through my first year! We have first round auditions for State choir on Saturday, and I've got six students auditioning. The drama teachers chose "Big River" as our musical, and rehearsals are starting for that. I know that I will be helping with the music for that. We have four weeks till our first concert (October 16, I think). And about 800 meetings because of being a new teacher to the district! It's a busy time - I am becoming less and less sure of it slowing down anytime soon...

Naunie and I bought a car last week to replace the one that is missing its fender. It's a '95 Toyota Camry with lots o' miles on it, but it also gets me 400 miles to the tank! I haven't had 400 miles to the tank since ...well, ever! The closest was my old Saturn SL2, which they don't make anymore.

Naunie is enjoying her classes this year. She has good kids. As we sit watching the NE/USC game, she's working on lesson plans. In theory, I'm calling parents about handbook signatures and choir fees, but in reality, I'm updating you on our lives. Don't you feel special now? :)

Naunie is no longer watching the babies at church. She decided that she would like to be in a bible study class. I'm still rehearsaing of course, so I do not get to go with her. We are starting our CAST program tomorrow with the elementary kids. We're doing "Mystery of the Manger." I don't expect anyone to know it - just thought I'd tell you what it was!

Kevin (Brocksieck) and Kristin are about to have their baby! I'll put up pictures if I get some when it's born. Right now, it's name is Peanut. I'm assuming it will change once the gender is known...Of course, it's Kevin, so you never know... ;-)

Okay, I'm outta here. Have a great few days, and I'll blog when I get the chance!
