Like a diet

Just another thing I can't stick to--blogging. I will get better at it. The first two weeks of school were a little hectic. I've wanted to start blogging this new year, but there just hasn't been time yet. The first day of school was the craziest I've ever experienced. We didn't even see classes that day, but instead helped the administration do last minute details that needed to be taken care of (the week before). At the end of the first day, it took us almost 2 hours--TWO HOURS--to load the buses. It was after 5 o'clock when the last bus pulled away. Every day since, though, we've improved our time, and we're at about 30 minutes now, which is probably the best it's going to be. Our ODC vendor donated 400 books for us to use at our temporary site (the one without a library), and they arrived on Friday. I'm going to go through them tomorrow and get them into the kids' hands. SO EXCITED!! When we move into our building, that little collection will be re-donated to Katrina victims. That makes me feel good. Tomorrow will be a good day. Lesson plans are done and I'm ready to start the week!
