BACK at it!!

Wow, its been almost a year it seems since I updated my blurg. I know all my patient fans have been waiting. life is good recently, as I have discovered even more fully the blessings of a family to go home to at night. I work as a high school teacher for my profession and this is "that year" that is just not a great year. I have been at this official teaching gig now going on 5 years and love it! I love teaching and I love the students, most of em.
But, this year is rough. I got surplussed at my last school and had to move. I am glad I have a job this year with all the cutbacks, etc. But man its lame-o. I am at a school that is all Co-Teaching and in a lower income part of town. So the students are pretty nuts, and even more so are the teachers I am around. Co-teaching can be great or not so great. This year, its not so great.
One of the teachers I started out with was awesome at the first of the year, but then he just up and quit 4 weeks into the first quarter! What a dork, didnt even see if he like a full year or not. So I was given a long term sub that is just a cranky cus and she doesnt really care about things. Then my last period I am with a gentlemen from India who cannot speak a defined word of English. last period, weak English, pre-algebra with Freshmen. Nightmare.

So, how glad I am to head home to 3 crazy, fun, loving daughters who jump all over me and lift me up after every knarly day of teaching. And my wife, how awesome she is to listen to my major complaints and rants. Family is what its all about.
