Falling Down on the Job

Oy I've fallen down on the job here. School started last week with kids coming back on Tuesday, and I'm exhausted. Our school is starting PBS, and we had training all last week. Specialists had to go behind the classroom teachers and review/reteach each lesson. Kids will be coming to us this week, so that will be a good thing. :) Time to get rockin' and rollin' on making some art!

At my second school, I am team teaching with a very experienced (34yrs) art teacher who is just about as opposite of me in personality as she can be, LOL. She is very easy to get along with so far, and I'm looking forward to learning a ton from her. I've already snatched some organizational ideas of hers and put them to use in my home base classroom.

I think I will make the Soy-Mustard Glazed Beef recipe from the Eating Well cookbook sometime this week. Taking lunch has thus far been a TOTAL drag. :( Got to figure out what I can take that I will actually LIKE to eat. I'm not a huge fan of leftovers, and can't have sandwiches any more.

Have lost 25.2 pounds since June 3. I am NOT a happy camper, however, because I went for my post-op visit with surgeon on Thursday and he refuses to give me a fill until the first week of November. That'll be TWELVE WEEKS post-op, which is twice as long as any other patient I've ever heard of having to wait for the first fill.
