drowning in a sea of papers....

school is kicking my tail. my students have doubled from last year...meaning my workload has doubled...and on top of that i have about 12 (of my 40) students that have ieps (individualized education plans) which means they need modified lessons or they need extra help. i am overwhelmed and CONSTANTLY working on grading papers, typing lessons, progress reports... the list goes on and on. i am not necessarily complaining...it is just SO much stuff. i have to come up with a better plan for grading papers. sigh.

i am going to savannah on friday!!! my parents fly in friday and we are driving there after i get off of work. i am so excited to a.) go to savannah...i have never been. 2.) see the parents (and get the inside of my windshield cleaned by def...i can never get the streaks out!) and c.) have a vacation...full of tours and shopping....and hopefully some sleeping!

in other news, i found out that kli married into a family of law breakers. one of ipod's relatives came into the us from canada with a church group. another one (franco) swam the rio grande 3 (!) times and this time he made it into the us. oh those romanians!

kli got a dog a few weeks ago. it is a beagle and seriously she is one of those crazy dog people. it has become her kid. i just shake my head at those crazy romanians and their new romanian beagle dog. i think i am going to buy kli and rocky rachel iepan (rri) matching snuggies for christmas. they make them for dogs now, you know...
