rain, rain, go away!!!

Does it ever really stop raining??? goodness, we have had a ton of rain... and I don't like it...
Well, I am official so I will give details...I am the new resource teacher 5 and 6th grade at Prairie Grove and also the Junior High cheer coach... I am excited. They do a lot of inclusion and the lady that I am replacing said I will only have about 8 kiddos next year.. with very few pullouts..WOW..I can't imagine.
Anywho, I am planning my classroom, going to Lit Lab in Searcy this summer and starting my cheer practice. I conditioned the girls yesterday. Most of them have never ran before, so this is going to be an experience. They are all super sweet and seem super excited.... they say that they are anyway, we will see how that is. THe parents are nice so far. This is just new to me, because they haven't ever really had anyone that practiced during the summer and definitely prolly not anyone who is as OCD as I am about cheer... oh well, my friend Julie told me I was going soft already because I left out a few things in my conditioning routine...they just didn't have the bleachers I needed them to run.... or boxes to jump...I don't think I am taking it too easy on them, but I am excited that they seem ready to have a "coach" not just a sponsor...
Luke has 3 technical days of class left. They get out early during testing and he gets two exemptions, so he only has 4 semester tests... downhil slide...
Gage is doign well, just has a little personality on him.... He is funny and sometimes has a "devil" laugh...I think he is very mischevious..... HMMM
Bryan has 30 days and counting... technically like 29 days.... sometimes it seems like these days are just flying by. We will pick him up at Shelby, head to New Orleans and Destin for a few days and then come home... I think we will prolly do a cook out at the house when we get home...
oh well... only a few more days in the Vista school year. THANK GOD... because at the rate this place is going I could possibly be admitted... oh well, positive thoughts...downhill slide..........
OH well, peace and love JB

Hmmm

Well, I wanted to update with pics..but I haven't taken any.... :( Let's see, the school board meets so that I am going to be "official" tomorrow... I have my first cheer meeting on Tuesday.. Bryan comes home in 37ish days....then it is off to Destin and to New Orleans... yippee.... Luke has 2 weeks of school left. Baseball is over for the school year and ended well. He got a History award the other night... was inducted into NJHS the other day.... Gage had his end of the year ceremony at daycare. He was on stage for itsy bitsy spider... did the motions and kinda sang the Wheels on the Bus... Whoo Hoo...it was cute. Has been sporadically pee pee ing in the potty, but is certainly not consistent. We saw B on the webcam yesterday...it was the first time we have seen each other since January...he has lost lots of weight...down to like 190.... must be nice.... my new diet restarts tomorrow. I have 30 + days to look slim and trim...HA!
I kept the kids for Mother's Day...my sisters went to Vegas... fun... B sent me flowers and chocolates that never arrived... my flowers did, they were pretty.... ummmm.... we went to confirmation today for my niece Kori.... then to eat with the family... then home for a big ole' nap... I love naps...
I don't think I have much other news.... Hope everyone is safe and well..... JB

update

just a quick update... my sympathy goes out to Judge Jim Hudson's family in Texarkana. He passed away this past weekend. He was a great man. I am sure that he will be greatly missed.
Some job news.. but I don't want to totally jinx it... the board meets on the third monday and I will post after that... but I am excited.
Luke's team lost at state today, so high school baseball is over for the year. He is getting an award Thursday night and I am proud of him.. will post more when I know the details.
Gage is getting big. We go next week for ears to be rechecked. He might have to have some surgery again on the right ear or something to clear it up... I don't understand those details either.
Things are moving right along. Bryan has 49 more days in country... I am ready for him to be home. we have a trip to Destin and New Orleans planned for when he flies in. I am pretty excited. Trying to get my beach body in gear. HA!
oh well..more later. Love JB
