  1. Thanks for the reminder list! Hope you get it all done. Do you have an assistant?

  2. Yes, world's best assistant! We got most done that had to be done before open house tonight -- but Friday is NOT optional for me -- I have too much left to do. I had 23 of mine show up tonight -- that's all but 2 from my class list. Lots of sweet ones -- I'm looking forward to Monday! What about you?

  3. Headed to my room sometime today to move furniture AGAIN! I think I know now how I want it. There must be 2 World's Best Assistants because I have the other one - :-) God has blessed me with a great Christian lady to work with and she is awesome! Got my list of kids yesterday and right now I have 21 but the office registers one about every day -
    We report to work for workdays on 20th and kids begin the 27th -
    Are you at a charter school/private school or year round?

    I took your words of encouragement and started a blog - it is very lame right now but it's a start. It will be for any and everything not just school stuff. Hardest part was what will I write for my first blog....
    Good luck today - you can do it!

    1. Your blog is NOT lame -- I am proud of you! One thing to think about -- I find it kind of annoying to have to "prove" I'm not a robot before I can comment. My blog did the same thing when I started. You have to change the setting to get rid of that.
      And I love your Pinterest stools!

  5. Not sure how to do that or to allow people to follow. Can you tell me what to do? Thanks for your help and input. Good luck on Monday!

    1. Go to Settings -- then Posts and Comments -- and set "verification" to NO to get rid of the robot. I don't know about the "Followers" -- it just magically appeared.
