Almost Over!

First semester is almost over (two more days)! This has been an exhausting 16 weeks. I literally mean exhausting. I basically get to school at 7:30 and I try to leave before it gets dark. After that I come home, eat something get my clothes ready for the next day and then I lay down until I fall asleep.

I now have 28 students and am expecting one more soon. Everything will kick in to over-drive after the break. The TAKS test is HUGE down here! And 5th grade has to take 3 during the second semester. I will be doing after school tutoring almost every day for at least an hour. It's crazy. I don't want to think about it!!!

Admist all the stress and pressure, the cats do give me joy after a long days work. Freddy is still big and Chloe is getting bigger. I bought them a new toy today and they have been enjoying it. Here is a video of them playing together. You'll hear Jake and I talking on the phone. I asked him to pick up a cherry coke for me, but he didn't have his wallet. I try to get off the phone and do as little talking as possible. It sounds funny!

We'll be coming home this weekend. I'll see everyone soon!
