Slacker

I know, I know. I have not been doing a very good job of updating. Are you ready? Here goes nothing.

School: This is basically all I have been doing lately. I have been busy getting my classroom ready since Aug 4 and have been in meetings and such since the 14th. Needless to say, I am already tired. Tomorrow is Meet the Teacher Night at my school and guess who is in charge? You guessed it, me! It has been pretty easy to plan and I am so blessed to work with such wonderful people that make it easy. I really am excited about this year. I have some new tricks up my sleeve and I am curious to see how well my students respond! It will be interesting. The other interesting thing that is happening this year is my name change. I am starting the year out (only at school) as Mrs. Magallanes to avoid the confusion it could cause right before Christmas. Plus, one of the other K teachers is Mrs. Smith and I want to eliminate as many mix-ups as possible. So, I have been busy changing my name on everything, plus people are calling me that and my students will too. I guess it will give me time to get used to it before the nuptuals. Strange, none the less.

Wedding: Not much to say here. We are just tying up loose ends and getting things ready for the big day. Dresses are ordered. We need boys to get tuxes. We need wedding pics from our family and friends, PLEASE. I have a shower next Saturday. I am so grateful to the amazing ladies that are throwing it for me. I am so ready to get the ball rolling and just get married. The countdown is on.

Mike: Mike has started working at Double Nickel to help pay for our honeymoon (and his green fee fund and his speeding ticket). I know that he did not necessarily want to work more but I am so grateful that he chose to do what is best for our (almost) family. He is a fantastic fiance and I can't wait for him to be my husband.

Grad School: The reason I am not the one getting a second job. I chose to take only one class this semester to offset the wedding plans. So, if I snap at you, sorry. I am getting married, teaching school, and going to school. Granted, I'm sure having my own kids would make my life crazier but this is pretty crazy for me. Bear with me. So, I'm off to read the syllabus.

Maybe, Ill post more in my spare time..............
