my little darlings continued their debate on my age today.
i finally broke down and told them my age. it's really not a big deal, but sheesh, i thought they would have forgotten it already.
on another note, today i got a really sweet card from one of the girls and a ring from another girl. i told them thank you while we were getting ready to leave for the day. poor little squanto couldn't handle the fact that two other people gave me something and he didn't. he ran up to me, handed me something, and said, "here."
me: "what is this?"
squanto: "it's a compass!"
me: "i don't see the needle."
squanto: "you have to open it -- like this."
me: "oh...thanks, squanto! i like it!"
squanto: "eh - it's small and cheap."
me: "SQUANTO!"
squanto: "no i'm kidding. it's just small...and cheap."
me: (sighing) "squanto, sit down."
squanto: "yes ma'am"
he's also student of the week this week. this should be interesting.

another ordinary day
two things stick out in my mind from yesterday.
1) after giving the spelling pre-test, i told the class they could look over their paper before they turned it in. a boy in the back row raised his hand and asked, "with or without our spelling book?" i bit back an automatic and oh-so-sarcastic reply while another boy turned around and exclaimed, "you can't check it with your book! that's called cheating! gaaaaaaaawwww!"
2) in history, we played a review game. i told each team to pick a number between 1-100. after they told me their numbers, i told them the number was 45. squanto, sign-bearing boy looked at me and said, "did you pick 45 because that's how old you are?"
oh no. oh noooooooo.
in an attempt to make me feel better, another boy said, "she doesn't look like she's 45! she looks like she's in her 30s."
um......
while the class was debating my age (i was in too much shock to calm them down), one of the shyest girls looked at the boy next to her and said, "i think miss hernandez looks 16."
did i mention that the boy next to her was "squanto?" he, of course, quieted the class and announced to the class that i was 16.
thank you, squanto. thank you.

happy birthday, mom!
happy birthday to my mom!
today is my mom's ----th birthday (did you really think i was gonna put it on here?!) - at least for another couple of hours. she told me that she had a really good day. i bought her starbucks this morning, then we all went to dinner at fuentes. not her first choice, but we had to go somewhere close to the church. she told us everything she got from her fellow teacher friends, and let me tell ya, she did good! kelli and i bought her a vera bradley purse, the size that she's been wanting (i hope). we bought in on sunday and couldn't wait until today to give it to her, so she's had it since then. she's gotten lots of compliments on it too! i'm not sure if joey's given her his gift yet, so i won't tell you what it is, but i will say that it's very "joey." don't worry, mom, you'll like it!
mom, i'm glad you enjoyed your very special day. you deserved it and so much more. thank you for everything you do for me. te quiero mucho. (i know it's wrong-but i tried)

read the signs
my class knows that when i give them an assignment to do, there is NO TALKING! they are a very social class, so it can get very loud in our classroom if i don't control it. so today there were solving word jumbles in spelling, and i had given them an extension assignment for them to do after they solved the word jumbles. i started walking around the room to monitor them when something caught my eye.
this is the same boy who begged me to assign him a 500-word essay on squanto. he never finished it, by the way. maybe i should make him do it after all...
these kids crack me up!

i found a crack!
i found a crack in my phone this morning.
i should probably get that new phone before this one totally falls apart and i can't transfer my contacts.
the crack seems to be getting bigger...
yes, i should definitely get that phone now.

ms. her...
we've been learning about nouns in language, and today's lesson was a common noun vs. a proper noun. they were supposed to make proper nouns from a list of common nouns (boy-David, girl-Lori, etc). one of the words was teacher, and of course, most of the class put my name down because, well, i'm their teacher. duh!
i got a big kick out of one of my boys who put my name in the teacher blank. he obviously has never seen my last name spelled out, because in the blank he filled in, "ms. her..."
i asked him later if he knew how to spell my name and he got this big grin on his face and said, "i know it starts out her, but after that i don't know."
ms. her...
it's so much easier than hernandez, don't ya think?!

i saw it
remember the new phone i wanted a while back? i had actually just looked at a picture of it on the internet and decided that i had to have it. then i thought that i should probably see what the phone really looks like before i made any major decisions.
i saw it today.
i definitely want it. i absolutely, positively, without-a-shadow-of-a-doubt want that phone.
june can't come fast enough.

not much to tell
i have thoroughly enjoyed my time off. i ended up cleaning my house on friday (not that you can tell now) then ran some other errands. today i wanted to go shopping, but i didn't find anything i wanted. stupid budget. i didn't even think about school until this morning. it was nice.
it's back to school tomorrow.
is there any hope for a snow day?

here it is
here's the link to my dad's blog. on it is the link to the website i use for my budget. hope it helps!
jealous?
you should be!
i'm currently at home, lounging around in my comfortable "stretchy pants" and making myself pancakes.
no, i'm not sick. no, i'm not taking a personal day off.
we just don't have school today or monday! woo hoo! to make things even better, school dismissed yesterday at noon.
i've been off of work for 22 hours. it's w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l.
i did have to take joey to the doctor at 8:30 this morning. so much for sleeping in. but i still have monday! i took advantage of the fact that i had to be up early and put the roast in the crock pot for dinner tonight.
that's right. i making a roast for tonight. and it's not the first time i've done this either.
i feel so "motherish."
maybe after this i'll clean the house.
ha! it was a nice thought...

hmmmm
my kids are at recess right now. i am, for the moment, caught up on all my work.
oh wait! i just remembered a couple of things that i have to do! oh well. i already started this post.
i had a sweet surprise today. when i was in high school, i tutored a little girl in 5th grade in math. there were actually quite a few of us in my class who tutored 5th graders that year. i remember that i would go to her class on tuesdays and thursdays after school to help her. one day she handed me $10. i looked at her with a blank look on my face until she explained, "it's for helping me." i quickly recovered (yeah right) and told her that she didn't need to pay me. she smiled and said, "my grandmother says i should because you're helping me."
now she's in 11th grade, and i feel really, really old. what makes me feel even older is that she started working at chick-fil-a, so i see her quite a bit (though not as much as b.b. - before budget - grrrrr). i'm quite confident that she always gives me back the correct change!
anyway, i went to the office this morning to drop some papers off, and there was a lady in there that looked familiar, but i couldn't really place her. she asked if i was the new 3rd grade teacher and i told her that i was. she got excited and said, "oh! you tutored my granddaughter when she was in 5th grade! i've been wanting to thank you all these years because she is doing great." i was amazed that she even remembered me from...well, a long time ago.
it's so nice to be appreciated - even if it's from years ago.

nope
no more tortilla chips for after school.
i ate the rest of them right after lunch.
after lunch! as in, i had already eaten lunch when i decided to finish my baggie of chips.
oh no...

try these!
while grocery shopping on saturday, kelli stumbled upon something really good. she picked up a bag of tia rosa tortilla chips. now i'm not the type of person to just eat tortilla chips by themselves. i have to have hot sauce, guacamole, or white sauce with them. but these chips are wonderful. they taste like the ones at pappasitos, which, by the way, is my favorite mexican restaurant ever.
i had a small bag for breakfast yesterday, much to my dad's chagrin. i'm eating a small bag now. i'm worried that i won't have any to snack on after school.
these chips, like my cherries, are going fast.
so much for losing weight.

we're on a roll
kelli and i went to the grocery store yesterday to get some...well, groceries. i've figured out that many times kelli will just leave me without saying anything. like when i was telling her something about the meat and i turned around and realized that she was not next to me. the poor guy close to me had no idea what i was talking. apparently kelli got distracted around the fish section. that happened a few times. it was fun talking to myself. anyway, we decided to get some salmon for last night's dinner. kelli cooked it and we had salmon and asparagus for dinner, with water to drink. i felt so healthy! i was so impressed with her that i took a picture of my plate, which i think will come out on kelli's blog later-maybe.
and my favorite part was the maraschino cherries that i bought myself. i've never been a big fan of cherries, but for some reason i have been craving them for a long time. i finally bought a small jar, which i've pretty much eaten already. they are so yummy!
can you tell life is boring when you blog about groceries?!

HELP!
this morning, i prayed for patience with my kids.
i hear the groans. do i have your sympathy?
seriously, i have never been more annoyed than at this moment. they continually ask me questions about what we do every day. someone asked me, "miss hernandez, i'm not finished with my math, but when i am, what do you want me to do?" they're not paying attention because they won't quit talking. they're mean to each other. some are bossy and acting like they're the teacher. i want to tell them, "excuse me, but i'm the one who went to college and got my teaching degree, so i'm teacher. sit down!" this has to be the most annoying day ever. and i still have rest of the afternoon to go.
Lord, give me....
never mind.

claim it, sister!
i heard the greatest thing today.
one of my sweet girls told me this morning that she had a dream about me. when i asked her about it, someone else blurted out, "she dreamed that you bought us all iphones!"
i'm sure i looked at her with a very confused look on my face. she grinned and said, "yes, i had a dream that you were extremely rich and bought everyone in the class an iphone." i laughed and told her that i liked her dream, especially the extremely rich part. later on she told me that in that same dream, everything i owned was golden. love it!
her dream makes me wonder....

detention
i could be shopping right now, but instead i'm sitting with the kids who have to serve detention today. i even worked hard to get all of my papers graded and everything ready to go so i could leave as soon as my kids did. then my principal came in and asked if i could cover detention for another teacher who is sick today. normally it wouldn't bother me at all (well, i'm not really all that bothered) but another teacher just told me that payless is having a huge sale! she said that they have the kind of shoes that i've been wanting for a while but haven't been able to afford...until now.
i'm not a happy camper.
at this school, the "detentionees" have to write a paper that includes four components:
i'm not a happy camper.
at this school, the "detentionees" have to write a paper that includes four components:
- the reason/reasons the student received the detention
- what the student could be doing instead of serving detention
- who was inconvenienced by the student having to serve detention and how they were inconvenienced
- what the student will do in the future to prevent getting another detention
i told them that under the 3rd component, they could put that they were inconveniencing me because i had planned to go to payless to get some cute shoes that just happen to be on sale (yes, they're in the budget!).
one of the students just asked me where the sale was. he really is putting it in his paper! oh man, i can't wait to read their papers...
but i'm still ticked that i can't go the mall.
oh well, i'll get over it.
has it occurred to anyone else that i totally complain about trivial things? sorry...(not sorry enough to stop though)

hooray
today's payday.
and the reason that those words aren't in all caps with 500 exclamation points behind it is because i did something last night that i haven't done ever.
i put myself on a budget.
gosh that hurt. i know, i know, i should have been on a budget long before this. but i wasn't. and i'm not about to go into the reason i wasn't. yes, there was a reason, and yes, it's really lame. but after hearing four sermons on money (thanks, dad), i felt convicted. really convicted. like i couldn't rest until i had all this stuff ironed out. so i wasted fifteen minutes looking aimlessly on the internet last night for some type of budget plan that would work for me. i finally got smart and called my dad. he told me exactly where to go (it'll be on his blog later, so keep checking) and together we put my money-spendin' self on a budget.
i hung up the phone depressed. i know this is smart. and i wouldn't be this depressed if i had done this a long time ago. i keep telling myself that it will get better. i know it will. and i realize that God will bless my efforts to better manage HIS money.
but growing up stinks.
to make matters worse, i didn't even have any dr. pepper at home to make myself feel better. and you'd better believe that dr. pepper is in the budget. i will do without a lot of things, but dr. pepper is not one of them, especially in my current depressed state!
so no more random trips to starbucks. no more fast food 3 times a week. (holy cow! i'm horrible!) no more just putting random things in my basket at wal-mart and h-e-b. i have a budget and i'm sticking to it! thank goodness this blog is free.
i think i'm gonna need a dr. pepper to keep up my strength.

in a nutshell
i was in pain. literally.
i don't think i had ever worn my glasses for more than an hour at a time, so wearing them all day yesterday gave me a huge headache. i finally got used to it this morning, by which time my sweet momma drove across town and picked up my contacts and drove back to give them to me. during my first conference (yes, i said my first conference-be jealous!) i went to the bathroom and put in my contacts. it just happened to be the time that first grade was taking a bathroom break. fun. then i felt dizzy for about 20 minutes after that because i wasn't used to wearing them. ay ay ay!
today was so great though. i was in the middle of teaching reading when the other 3rd grade teacher came in and placed a cup of ice and a dr. pepper on my desk. when i looked up, she said, "just because."
so yes, sarah, the other teachers apparently know that i drink at work!
she is my new favorite person of all time.
my kids were pretty good. the talking was kept to a minimal (always good) and the whining was considerably less than usual. everyone finished their math paper today, which hasn't ever happened. i even got them all graded before they went home. again, that has never happened. i just got so much work done because they worked so well today. and tomorrow we get to wear jeans! woo hoo!
so now i'm just killing time until 4:30. why? because joey's bringing me a snack from sonic! yessssssssss.
i guess i could start editing the book reports, but....
later.

saturday night adventures
do you ever remember things that are really not so significant? maybe small details, maybe a random day from the past, maybe a long ago memory? i do. i seem to remember a whole lot of things. one in particular happened just last year.
it was probably a friday, because i didn't have to go into work that day (man i miss those days!). i woke up, went to the restroom to wash my face and brush my teeth, put my hair up in a ponytail, then turned on the t.v. to watch regis and kelly. i was sitting on my bed watching an interview with the girl who plays ugly betty (america something), and they were discussing the nerd stereotype. i started listening just in time to hear america say, "you know, i think that the stereotypical nerd is someone with braces, glasses, and their hair in a ponytail." i then realized that i had braces, was wearing glasses, and had my hair in a ponytail.
i may not remember everything that happened in the past year, but i remember how i felt in that moment...like a nerd!
fast forward to today, february 2, 2008. i went to chick-fil-a with some friends, and in the middle of eating and talking, my right contact started to feel funny. i started messing with it, trying to figure out what was wrong with it. finally i pulled out my contact - half of it. my contact had torn in my eye! i tried and tried to get the other half out, but i finally gave up and kept eating. after awhile, the other half came out. it was weird. i had to call my mom and have her come pick me up because i didn't think it would be smart of me to drive home with one good eye. i am now at home, with my glasses on. i can't even remember the last time i actually wore my glasses out in public, and now i have to wear them tomorrow and monday until i can pick up my contacts that have just been ordered. at least i'm really hoping they've arrived by monday.
nerd? i think so.
it was probably a friday, because i didn't have to go into work that day (man i miss those days!). i woke up, went to the restroom to wash my face and brush my teeth, put my hair up in a ponytail, then turned on the t.v. to watch regis and kelly. i was sitting on my bed watching an interview with the girl who plays ugly betty (america something), and they were discussing the nerd stereotype. i started listening just in time to hear america say, "you know, i think that the stereotypical nerd is someone with braces, glasses, and their hair in a ponytail." i then realized that i had braces, was wearing glasses, and had my hair in a ponytail.
i may not remember everything that happened in the past year, but i remember how i felt in that moment...like a nerd!

fun time with adyson
tonight my mom, kelli, and i went to visit adyson. apparently seeing her once a week at church isn't cutting it, because she threw a huge fit when i held her on sunday. and she'd better get used to seeing my face because i plan to hold her a lot!
she, of course, cried when i picked her up. she didn't want her toys. she didn't want her bottle. she wanted independence!
side note: independence was one of the spelling words this week and every single one of my kids got it right. i'm a proud teacher!
edward made a pallet on the floor and put pillows around. then he set her down and she was a happy girl. kelli sat next to her and kept her entertained while i snapped pictures.
what?
hey, i like this!
what a life. who cares if milk is spilling down your cheek? at least someone is there to wipe it off!
