New Week

So this week is the first week of trying the meal plans from www.emealz.com. I'm slightly nervous, and I'm pretty sure my husband thinks that it won't happen but hey... we'll see. I'm also missing some of the components for the meals such as a food processor... but hey.. I'll make it work. I'm determined to become a better wife, a less lazy wife, and show that hey.. I'll be an awesome mom not only educationally but in terms of basic needs too!

Last week we had a pajama day at school, as soon as I get a copy I'll post the picture of my assistant and I. We had a bit of questioning going on about why we were doing this that came from the "admins" but I think it all ended up okay. I'll admit I didn't exactly ask for permission to do this, but they haven't told me no about anything that I've wanted to do with the kids so far and they say it is better to ask for forgiveness. However I do think this will come up as a general new rule at the next staff meeting, something like "Ask permission before you have a celebration day to make sure it is okay..." or something. Anyways the owner totally seemed to stand up for us so I don't think its a big deal with her, but that could be because of some drama that I had to deal with at the start of the week and didn't get the needed support for.. maybe? Anyways it ended up up going from the worst week due to a student hurting others intentionally into an amazing week due to how excited and engaged the kids were. I felt things turn around in my mind, and in the classroom. Will that same feeling stick around this week? I hope so. I just need to make it to August when we'll have an actual curriculum and I'll have more direction. This is a building year so it is meant to be tough and I just have to remember that. Time is passing by so quickly that I'm not too worried.
