Happy New Year 2017!

Happy Bus Duty in the coldest temps of the year!

Marisa, Kayla and Brandon left-  my offer to turn the basement into an apartment didn't make them stay Sad smile  They made it to Utah safely despite the massive storm.  Kayla and Brandon have settled in their new apartment. Marisa and Brandon started the new semester.  Kayla got a new job at Shoe Carnival and started Friday. 

Had a very busy week at school.  Started the NWEA testing.  Tried a Mystery Skype with a Ranger at Yellowstone which was a HUGE success. I was the moderator for the school Geography Bee.  It;s all exhausting but I love it!

Bob got the terrible head cold that several people got over Christmas break (including poor Brandon for the flight home).  Bob ended up missing work and was miserable.  Then, Alayna got the same this week plus her throat hurt.  I ended up taking her into the walkin clinic to get meds so she wouldn't miss any finals.  She definitely had an infection starting but the rapid strep test said no strep.  She did awesome on her finals and has been down super sick since.  The dr called yesterday and said the culture they turned in and got back said she had a different type of strep so now we have her on antibiotics.  I was up most of Thursday night with this same stupid cold and have been down all weekend. Same with Tyler. MAN we are tired of being sick!!!

On the happy side, Bob and I booked our Southern Caribbean Cruise for next March to celebrate our 25th anniversary!  I need something warm to look forward to!

Not much else is going on.  We are just trying to survive winter!

Fun last week at school

The 8th graders finished reading “The outsiders” and had a dress up day- you could either be a greaser or a soc.  I was one of the few teachers that dressed up. That made me cool Smile
