Year One Down

The feeling of accomplishment is good.

Year one of teaching is complete, and I am so glad. :) I've learned so many things, and I really think I should start keeping a "book". I have been to both extremes of happy and sad; put together and broken; ready to go and ready to stop.

I don't think it's really hit me just yet that I don't have to step foot into my classroom everyday. But I'm sure it will.

We added a new kitten to our family yesterday. A girl that's mostly white with some calico mixed in on her tail and face that my daughter has named Ellie. I haven't taken any pics yet, but when I do I'll post them. Last night, Ellie stayed in my daughter's room and I think I heard the phrase "she'll sleep in the laundry room tonight" being said this morning. Ha! :) She is a playful thing, and I can tell she's never been outside 'cause she doesn't like the grass. But she'll learn to like it. She's going to go outside when she's bigger than the mice and moles. She's got a job to do!
