Too little time

All I could think about on the way home from taking Travis to school, was coming home and getting to blog. I really think this is good for me. I am going to miss this me time I get in the mornings when I start teaching again so I need to enjoy it while it lasts. I found out that they are hiring at Cutter Morning Star for a 5th grade position. I'm P-4 but I will try for it today anyway. So that is my plans for the morning again. Get applications packets ready for all the schools in a 30 mile radius. You will not believe how many their are. There are over 20 schools (only counting Benton and Bryant as one each). So I am going to be very busy. I plan on getting my applications out to all schools by Friday. so the blogging will have to be short and sweet.

I'm am reading this book called A Picture of Freedom: The Diary of Clotee, a Slave Girl. I started reading it because it is the book I chose for my middle school class to read. We are studying biographies and doing a project to reflect. I have to tell you I am really enjoying this book. It is about a slave girl that learns to read and write by looking over the shoulder of the boy she is fanning. So she starts writing a journal to tell about here day to day experiences. This gave me the idea to start blogging. I would love to look back on this and reflect one day. The book takes place at Belmont Plantation, Virginia, 1859. It is really a good true story.

Also today I promised a parent that I would write down my food journal for her. She is starting adapex (sp?) and wants to start eating right but has no idea where to start. And since I pay my dietician good money to teach me these things, I told her I would help her out. First, her doctor told her to each less than 600 calories. CRAZY! He needs to be slapped. He obiously isn't a diet doctor because he should know that you should eat 12o0 calories even on a diet. So I told her I would get that ready before friday. Ugh. So much to do and so little time. Guess I shall get started with my routine, eat something and write out my journal. Oh and add Walmart to that list cause I have no black ink! Uhhhhhhh....Gotta Go!
