eureka!

Confessions of a previously-non-tv-watcher:
I'm now hooked on a tv show! Every Tuesday night, I plan to be home so I can watch eureka on the SciFi channel. It's a cute, sweet, funny, smart show and I really like it! My family teases me, since I'm usually so uninterested in television. They've now got a monster on their hands. One cannot talk with me until commercial break (ask Alex about cutting down a tree in the back yard because the wind was inhibiting our satellite signal .. .). Yes, sad but true, I am now "into" television.

Time management

It's only the sixth day of school and my to-do lists are begetting more to-do lists. I almost feel like I'm ready for the first day of school now . . . Tomorrow I start orientation with the sixth graders! I love seeing the students in the media center getting books to read. It's fun to hear them ask about favorite titles. Right now, I should be heading home, but there's always "one more thing" to do!

Fun in NP!

I'm excited to see my New Prague pals this week! Kreuser's in Morehead, North Carolina (or is it South? I always get those mixed up!) and Neufy's in Montana, but the rest of the gang should be around. This picture shows the evidence of true fun at work. Feed corn left everywhere! I don't think we ever really repaid this one. . .

First Day of School

It seemed almost surreal this morning - at work by 7 am, greeting students, and getting the morning show on air. The day flew by in a blur, and I still don't feel ready for it to begin! I am rearranging the media center - yes, on the first day of school - and everything is katywumpus right now. I'll be wearing grubby clothes tomorrow!
It's fun to hear about the boys' school days, too, though Alex is currently MIA. Louie's in Bloomington waiting for him to show up at Grandma Eileen's house . . . ahh, the bus system in Minneapolis. What fun!
