Another week gone.

So I hope everyone had a wonderful week so far. For me it is the weekend, I so love four day work weeks. We just have four more days of school before we are out for the Christmas break. There really won't be a lot of teaching next week though, because we are preparing for our school program and then partying all day Thursday. Gary has had a bit of a rough week. He has been home from work for the last two days because his knee is the size of a soccer ball and really hurts. Gout again. I sure wish they could come up with a remedy for this. We have tried everything at the GNC and home remedies and everything else except for the most drastic which would remove the problem you know just cut off the offending appendage. He doesn't like that idea very much. I started the week out sick and missed Monday at work, but I am fine and back to work. I am sure thinking this is the nicest spring weather we have had in years around here. It was so nice at school today that after we got through with program practice we let the kids play outside for about 45 minutes. They needed it after sitting for 2 1/2 hours for practice. Tyson does a dance with the rest of my 5th grade class that really has turned out fun to watch. Ryan sings and his favorite song is "Here We Come A Caroling" He wants to try and learn to play it on the piano. I hope everyone enjoys the picture of my little dog Nia. She is my baby and usually follows me everywhere I go. She is always waiting for me right by the back door when I come home from work. It feels good to be loved.
