February!!

So, it is February, or as Deborah calls it...Valentine's month. Only here is the thing about Valentine's Day....it pretty much sucks if you do not have a significant other.

Well, I think I have a found a great house. It is three houses down from Beth and Scott and just minutes away from Mom and Dad. The interior of the house is just like Beth and Scott's, only flipped and just a little smaller. I really think it is cute and just the right size for me. Please pray that I can get it.

This has been an especially stressful week at school. Several issues have come up and all seem to involve me or a student from my classroom. The highlight of my week was the filet mignon I ate on Tuesday at The Green Onion courtesy of McGraw-Hill Publishing company. Our reading texbook adoption is this year and the two big adoptions are reading and math. So, for the last two weeks the textbook companies are trying to persuade us to select their books. Because Tulsa Public Schools is the largest district in the state, they tend to cater to our requests and will format textbooks to meet conditions we have requested. Then, they invite the textbook committee members(that's me) to dinners. I have enjoyed Ted's (yum, yum!!), TiAmo's and Green Onion. I managed to enjoy all these dinners out and still stay faithful to my south beach phase 2 plan. Today we are celebrating GroundHog Day!! My kids are loving it.

Yesterday, I turned in applications for 12 scholarships. Hopefully, I will get at least one, maybe even two. That would be so great!!

Happy Friday!!
