KJLS

This is at the Kansas Junior Livestock Show. This picture has a story with it, this goat weighed 115 lbs (very big for a show goat) we kept it as a friend for another goat that she wanted to show. I had told Kaylee that she should more then likely expect to stand dead last in class, she stood third from the bottom. When she made it past two other goats she acted like she had won the lottery in fact her face was so happy her brother asked if she realized that they where placing from the bottom up? She actually looked more excited in this class then in the class that she stood in third place.



The girls had some free time and needed to finish reading to get thier AR points for school. The older girls had been reading for a little bit and then they got company and she wanted to hear the story to.

Home school??

I am so going to pull a "Dooce" and hope it doesn't come back at me, but I am really considering home schooling and I teach. We are only five weeks into school and I think I have visited the youngest child's classroom four times and have become this teachers favorite e-mail buddy.Talked to the Principal about inappropriate teacher issues with the middle child, argued with the grade school secretary about involving my children in financial issues that don't concern them.......OMG!!!! Do you suppose I have earned the lable of the biggest "beep" yet?
Yet I am supposed to play nice, my friend Sarah asked if anyone else today was drinking from the grumpy cup, I think I skipped the cup and drank directly from the grumpy jug.

Fantasy Football....UGH!!!

Ok I just have to say that I am SO sick of fantasy football. We now have two men in our classroom and this is all they talk about. It is to the point I suggested out loud that I was joining the Fantasy Miss America team,yes people I was being sarcastic!!! Then I find out that there is a web sight for Women Against Fantasy Sports (WAFS) YEAH it's not just me that is tired of the fantasy crap. I mean honestly it is bad enough that football is on my television set three nights a week and in order to have a conversation I have to stand in front of the T.V. to get my husbands attention (see dad I use it for a greater good these days) now I have to take a number at work behind the latest pick, who got hurt in the last game...blah, blah,blah
IS IT HOCKEY SEASON YET!!!!
