This is exam week at school. Was a busy day . Had to get all my exams made out and run off ready for the kids. Im ready , just hope the students will study. My exams are legendary...........long and hard. This help the kids in my book, give then a chance of having at least a few types of question they do well with. Also it makes each question not count so much. as for grading...........well for me I just as soon grade 120 questions as 50.
I do think the seventh graders are in for a big shock. They do not have a clue what to expect. GO study kids...........you'll need it.
The week end was nice............I rode my bike all day Saturday and most of Sunday. John and I went to a get together in Cleveland for the guy from there that got killed on his motorcycle. John knows all those people.
This week is Ben's birthday so will go have dinner with them Thursday. He will be 31. He thinks that is old.

Well I dont really think anyone reads my blog, but I keep it up just for me. Gives me a place to vent and express.
If anyone out there does keep up with this, you know I have been on a diet. As of this morning I have lost 22 pounds. So hopefully in several more weeks I hope to have lost my other 18 pounds to make it 40 altogether. If I reach that goal might just shoot for 10 more. None the less I am happy with what I have been able to do , no doubt it is hard.
School is going well. Just the same ole silly issues. My classes are fine; 8th grade likes to talk too much , 7th grade still doesnt get it, and 11th grade thinks that studying does not pertain to them. SHOCK will come to them soon. Next week is exams. Had a slight change in schedule due to a Jr high football playoff. This means the 8th grade will have my earth science and health exams the same day............poor babies.
Hope everyone is looking forward to the week end as much as I am. Enjoy and will pos tmore later.

Another week is half over.........we approach the end of the first 9 week term. Next week will be exams .....Im not sure the students are working as they should. All we can do is present the information and try our best to keep them on task. BOY what a job! ! ! Also, today we fiinally got our computer lab online..........that is great not only for those classes but also for my annual staff. Get those pages done kids.
After exams ,we will sale annual ads and the annuals. Before we know it the holidays will be here and the new year will be underway.
This weather has been wonderful.......only problems is IM working and not riding. But I plan on doing just that this week end and next if the weather will hold. I might try to ride back up in Tenn. to see the foliage.
Fall is a great time of the year..............colors of the spectrum are seen everywhere. Cotton covers the fields like new fallen snow with deer dotting the edges of harvested land. Im using a picture of cotton off Jennifers blog. She had this great pic.
Enjoy this while it last.........

Home from Nashville.....had a great visit with Martha Lou, Ripper, Rip, Rob, Bonnie and of course the kids ( Will and Lynlee). She is a beautiful baby. And Will is a charmer for sure. They have a beautiful new home. It was great fun getting to see them all.
On the way home today I stop in "Smithville" to see John for a short while, then rode over to see my Sydney. I had gotten her some Frog cookie and a tu tu. Also bought her some great new clothes for next summer. They will be for her birthday. Two of them are really nice dresses, maybe she can wear one for Easter. When I got ready to leave Sydney had a fit....crying and I couldnt stand that. Told Ben I would drive her out to church, when she got in the car I figured out why she was crying. She started saying Taffy, cat , Taffy, cat........she wanted me to take her home to see Taffy. Ill go get her one day soon to come see Taffy.
Was a week end from heaven as far as the weather goes. The leaves have started to turn up around Nashville so if this weather holds Im going to ride my bike back up there in a few weeks.
Have a nice week everyone.
