Oh Hey! You Still There?

I almost forgot that I have a blog. LOL 

It's been a lot of non-stop action around here lately and little time to document it. Most of the good stuff is on my Facebook, but I kind of miss my lilittle blog.

Bullet update time!

• At work I've been keeping busy with the new group. They are awesome kiddos, which surprises me since I never thought I'd love another group of kids as much as I loved last year's class. I do have some needy students and some on special plans, but I am happy to do whatever I can for them because I really like all of them.
  
• I'm supposed to do a mini-workshop in November on Microsoft Publisher in the Classroom. I don't really use MS Publisher much in the classroom- YET- but I will be presenting.
  
• We got some new technology at our school. There's a really cool SMARTboard at the front of my classroom and an Elmo document projector as well. We also got a couple of laptop carts so I can put every student in front of a computer while I'm teaching and that is tech nirvana, I tell ya. I got the kids some email accounts and a message board and now we're getting virtual and it's all good.
  
• At home, M had been having a really good year, healthwise, until he ended up sick with strep throat and influenza. I knew something was up when he started running a 103 fever and sleeping the day away. He's on tamiflu and antibiotics now and will probably be home for a couple more days. So I'm housebound with him (and blogging!).
  
• I'm still playing World of Warcraft. My hunter is no longer my main character, since I discovered that my paladin can heal. I met some really nice players to hang out with and joined their guild and now I am their main healer. I'm amazed every day at the things that I can do with this character. Last weekend she healed a terribly hard dungeon where you had to fight on dragons (ugh) and I healed the main tank on a run where we killed all four leaders of the opposition's factions (For the Alliance!) and got a cool bear to ride around on.
  
• Halloween is coming. Kiddo wants to be a Clone Trooper. He has a costume, including a helmet that makes cool sounds. I am going with the superhero theme at school. I'm going to be Supergirl. My costume arrived yesterday. I really like the cape. Need to find a way to wear it all the time. :)
  
• Other than that, I'm just working and hanging out at home and enjoying life. I'll try to get some photos posted and more updated content soon.
