Sigh

I made it though my first full week of school for this school year. It has been rough, but I always feel that way at the beginning of a new year. I feel like I have an okay group, I just hate getting a new class used to handling new routines. When they come to third grade, they all seem like babies wanting someone to do everything for them. Hopefully, when they leave me, they will know how to do things themselves! I am just hoping that the ones who are responsible now will help me out with the others.

*YAWN*

School started Tuesday for students and I am beat! It's so nice to know that tomorrow if finally Friday. As of now, I have 21 students. That seems to be a pretty good number (less would also be fine!) so I hope that it does not grow any more.

My uncle with colon cancer is doing great. I saw him Sunday for lunch at my parents' house (I blogged about that before) and he looked really good.

The other uncle that I blogged about got some pretty bad news. He went for tests in Birmingham yesterday and found that the cancer he had in his throat has spread to his abdomen. Because it has spread like it has, they will not be able to do surgery. From what I understand, he will be going next week to see if there is a treatment (like chemo or something) that will help.

Well, that's all the blogging that I have the energy for. Please continue to keep my uncles and their families (my families) in your prayers.

Hmm.... Busy Busy

Things have been extremely busy this past week. I started back to work on Wednesday. We have registration Monday and then the kids start on Tuesday. I can't believe that it has all started so soon!!

I went to a teacher's appreciation breakfast at Office Depot this morning and actually won a color all-in-one printer that scans, prints, and copies. It also has slots for photo memory cards. I still can't believe that I actually won something!

My uncle is doing good. He went home last week. I should see him tomorrow at my parents' house for lunch. I have another uncle that needs prayers as well. He found out this past week that he has pulmonary fibrosis (basically it's a virus in one of his lungs), which can be hopefully treated with steroids. He also found out that he has cancer of the esophagus and will have to have part of his esophagus removed. So...please keep both of my uncles in your prayers!
