- At the end of July Eric and I met up with some college friends at a Rangers game. It started raining some time after the 7th inning stretch. We waited a while, but the rain wasn't letting up so we left and I didn't get to see the fireworks show. :( Instead, the girls went back to the apartment to eat freshly baked brownies and watch The Nanny while the boys went to play basketball.
- We finally got Lucy's doggy door installed. No more getting up to let her out! :) Now if we could just fix the barking problem. . . .
- Last week was all about professional development for us, which means we pretty much went from one boring meeting to the next. I wish I had had more time in my room earlier in the week, but I did manage to get it looking stellar just in time for Friday's Meet the Teacher.
- Eric's 98 year old great-grandmother is not doing well. They don't anticipate her to make it through the night.
- On Monday morning I learned that one of my former 4th grade students was in a coma. That afternoon our AP got word that he had passed away. Out of my two years of teaching, this was the second student death. Student deaths is not something they prepare you for in college.
- Sorry for the downers. . . .
- On a happier note Eric and I attended Emily's baby shower today. She received tons of lovely gifts and I ate way too much food.
- Monday is the first day of school and I'm nervous. Are all teachers as nervous as the kids on the first day, or is it just me?
Hmmm. . . I think that's about it.
