Hello Everyone,

Just a little note to let you know that I have not fallen off the face of the Earth!  I have been so sick the last week and it’s all I can do just to go to school everyday!  My hubby has it now–starts with a sore throat, fever of 102 (for 3-4 days non-stop, no matter what you do) and then a hacking cough.  Then you get lulled into thinking you are better and it comes back and gets you again except this time the fever stays away during the day, making you well enough to go to school, and then returns at night (99.5) just enough to make you uncomfortable and unable to get a restful sleep.  You wake up in the morning wondering why your alarm went off just as you fell asleep and so tired you have no idea how you actually drove to school!  All in all, not so very pleasant!

My assistant had it to and we know exactly where it came from!

I guess the one good thing is that I’ve lost 5 pounds and that’s really good news because we started the Biggest Loser at my school today, so my team is already down 5 pounds on the first day!  Anyone got any good exercises I need to do?

When I feel human again, I’ll post more, I’ve been taking pictures.  I’ll also try to post some pictures from next week’s trip to NSTA in New Orleans and I’ll also get a copy of the student led conference sheet posted soon.

***Just a note to all of you who have posted  comments in the last week– I have read them and I am working on getting all caught up, but unfortunately, since I’m not sleeping well, they have gotten pushed to the bottom of my to do list, but hopefully, I’ll get questions answered soon and some things posted–a few of the questions have been about Shake The Beans, Literacy Work Stations Power Point, Penny Toss; Heads/Tails, so I promise to get to them soon along with three new books I’ve just discovered!

Going to bed for a few wasted hours of hacking and tossing and turning!  See  you later!
