"Why are you eating dinner on nursing home hours?" said Mandy Rue to Amanda. Well, because when you eat breakfast at 7 and lunch at 11ish, then dinner is at 5 or 5:30...even on Saturday, my dear Mandy.

The first two weeks of my 3rd year of teaching are over and not a moment too soon. It's so hard after a summer of sleeping until noon everyday to go back to getting up before the sun. Especially when you throw in a 3 day weekend after just one week back! But it has gone relitively well, it's much calmer than last year! I think I'm going to enjoy 3rd grade resource. My kids are really sweet and very cute...but just one exception, but I'm working on that one!

Vic is in Albquerque until Wednesday. He'll just be here until Sunday though. He is starting orientation at the VA in Alb. next Monday, so he needs to be back. He got a job doing x-ray every other weekend just to make some money while he is learning the new stuff for biomechanical jobs. I'm going to Alb. from Oct 4-8th.

It will be our 5 year anniversary on the 5th...well, since the first wedding, which is the one that we have chosen to celebrate. Since 10/5/02 we have been through a lot, so I think we should celebrate that we have ultimately made it...for better or worse :). While I'm there I'm hoping to see Pud too...I haven't seen him since we got married 5 years ago either!

Did I mention that I got a costume for Story Book Character Day (aka my school's version of Halloween)? I'm going to be Alice from Wonderland. I put it on and I look just like her, but fat :). I even have a trippy pink cat, but unfortunately he can't go to school with me! Ha!
