The First Week

Hi All,

I know I have been MIA for the blog for a while. We started school last Monday and I am so excited about my new class. They seem to be a pretty great bunch! However, Sunday night it rained her in LasVegas and our school flooded. I'm talking inches of rain water running down the halls and through the library, the science room, and the art room. Unfortunately for us first grade teachers it also flooded most of our rooms. I was lucky that the water didn't make it into my room but because so many rooms couldn't be used we had to double up classes. Now I looked at this as a chance to hang with one of the coolest people in my grade level and watch her teach- she's really good. However, it did mean that most days we had about 50 kids in my classroom which was a very tight squeeze so I had to move stuff around to make room for our new friends. So pictures of my new room did not get taken and instead will be taken this week instead!
Now just to end out my crazy week - my car died so I had to go car shopping! I hate car shopping mostly because I often don't understand what they are asking me or talking about. I have no clue what kind of engine is the best or why we actually care about horse power. As a side note how do they figure that out any way? Do they have horses that actually pull the car? Instead I care about things like will the car get my to work and does it have Bluetooth so I can talk to my friends on the way home from school and air conditioning because it gets kinda hot her in Vegas. Shallow I know but that what is I important to me. So after much angst and lots of test drives I have a new Chevy Cruze and yes it has Bluetooth and everything! Sigh I think I'm in love with my new car.

Well, I'm off to work on more things for teacher pay teacher so I can make my car payments.
