The Mummy Returns!

My daughter set me up a myspace awhile back and in my very limited spurts of time spent on the computer, I have looked at it a few times and have 14 'friends', a few pictures and have done some fun surveys sent by the kids -- BUT -- I realized that people have to have a myspace account in order to be able to be a 'friend', and I know several people who aren't comfortable with the myspace environment .... so I will try to be better with my blog account and stay in touch with friends. I've had my job at the Jr. High for six months and I still love it. I've had some discouragement and disappointments -- and some anger and some irritation and even some altercations .... but still I love it. I love it so much I am returning to school to get teacher certification. Some days I come home and wonder what the heck I'm thinking - but other days I can't wait to have a classroom of kids. The TAKS test is looming (Texas' rendition of the standardized testing that plagues our country's public schools) and the stress is at the ridiculous level already ... teachers and students. It's stressful at home too because when we had the mock TAKS a few weeks ago my own child failed the math test, so now she's having to lose one of her electives and take a math improvement test. Ugh!!!! Battery on the laptop is going low. Have to leave for now.... me.
