Oh Fall...

Maybe one of these days Chris will write in here. Sorry to those of you who want to hear about his life. :) I guess this is more my thing anyway.
So tomorrow I have a workday, which will complete the first nine weeks for me. (Chris has already passed this point.) That means that I have survived through 1/4 of my first year teaching!
On another good note, I received a little note in my mailbox today and when I opened it I realized that it was from my principal. She stopped by while we were finishing up our scenery and practicing our Reader's Theater today and then watched the students perform. I was a little bit nervous about what she was thinking to be honest. Kids were sitting on tables finishing decorating the paper covering the chalkboard. Safe? Probably not. I opened up the note and it commented about how I have done a good job of making learning fun for the kids and that she would like to talk to me about it when I have a chance. I guess it was good, but a little part of me is afraid about what she might say. Oh well. Obviously it wasn't terrible, or she would have stopped me right away, I suppose. :)
I have been getting really bad chest pain when I lay down to go to sleep for the past 3 days now. It's usually on the right side and it's sharp shooting pain. I have no idea what it is, but the first night I almost went into the ER. And if you know me, you know that it must have been something because that's not like me. Honestly, it's a little scary. I just keep hoping that it will go away. And by morning, it always does.
So I have Fall Festival tomorrow night at school, but I am only working it until 6:15 so I get to pass out Halloween candy! I'm SO excited! Last year I was excited, but nobody came. :( A few of my kids live really close, so I am interested to see if they show up knocking at my door. Oh well, that's fun. Besides chest pain, things are looking optimistic. I love teaching and my kids...even though they get crazy.
