Life has been NUTS!!! It was another State Test week at our school. This week it was the End of Course Geometry test. Of course, I was one of the lucky teachers to give the test. I don't mind the testing part, except that it is so boring. I have to stand in one room for 3-4 hours with no talking, computers, books or anything to pass the time. I just walk around and make sure the kids are all on track.
This week I started offering homebound services to a student at the local library. I have to tutor this student for 4 hours each week. Homebound is for students who are extremely ill, or behavior so bad they can't come to school so a teacher has to meet with them. The pay is good and I like spending time at the library. However, I miss my stitching time!!! HEE HEE!!!
Stitching:
This week my rotation consisted of my next RR project and my mystic stitch. I didn't really get much stitched on my RR project. I was just too tired!!! My Mystic stitch was a lot of confetti stitching. I was able to put in 660 stitches this week.
After working on my Mystic Stitch, I was able to finish the rotation of all my projects!!! So I going to work on my RR project for the next 4 days and then start again on my rotation.
My birthday present finally arrived, and after sitting in the box for a 2 weeks, Mark finally put it together!!! I LOVE my sewing table!!! It is just so awesome!!!
My mom and I went to see Mary Poppins this weekend. I just LOVED it!!! If you get a chance to see it, go! It is just amazing!
Classroom Funny for the Day:
A student was laying her head down on her desk. I called her name and asked, "What are you doing?" I thought she was asleep....
Student replied, "I am just getting a closer look at my homework!"
Had to give her that one!!!

Great update on your stitching and getting to your rotation. I haven't done a lick since finishing Dragon Luck and I was supposed to spend this month working on my son's project (sigh)
Glad you enjoyed Mary Poppins.
You've got some awesome progress in there! Great job!
I love your sewing table I am looking at getting one but I so want one to match the rest of my craft furniture so that means I have to show one of the Amish furniture makers just what all I want Sincerely Kathy b in Ohio
LOL at your student. Quick on her feet!! Glad you enjoyed Mary. I love the story. And the songs are fab!! Your stitching looks great too! Keep up the good work. I've been through my rotation once, and am starting on twice. I worked for over an hour on Monday, then had to pull it all out cause of a mistake at the very beginning. Grrrrr.... Hope the frogs leave you alone!!
