New Beginnings

I know it has been a long time since I posted a blog. It seems like just yesterday I was getting out of school for the summer and now all of the sudden I have two weeks of it behind me. I can't tell you how many days, but our new principal has the count (I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing.)! :0) Things are going really well this year. The staff seems much less stressed and we actually are back to having fun conversations after school and not the gripe-fests we were having last year. I have heard that we have been volunteered to work with an assist team because our numbers are so low, but I can deal with a volunteer basis.
On a positive note my new class is great. There are a couple in there that make me ready to pull my hair out at times, but nothing like the aggressiveness that I had last year. It almost makes me sad that I will be out six weeks....almost.
If you haven't heard our big news...where have you been? Stad and I are expecting a new baby to join our family in February. It is all still very surreal at the moment. Yes we are going to find out boy or girl at our next doctor's visit (Sept. 20). I am an avid planner and not knowing would not help my planning of rooms, clothes, etc. We are both very excited and nervous all at the same time which I am sure is totally normal for new parents.
I took Stad to Babies 'r' Us the other day. I thought Mr. I don't like to spend money was going to have a stroke. He told me to buy and not tell him the prices when I go back with mom. :0) I think I overwhelmed him more than anything. Now that I have written a lot more than I intended I will sign off. I hope everyone is doing well and until next time....I wish you well!
