what is that name of the "new year song"... you know the one they play as it turns midnight? anyhow, i'll be humming the tune in my head as i type this so you imagine me *in surround sound* doing it as you continue. =)
my new year's resolutions? (yes, plural...i feel ambitious this year) personally, to get healthier...find my way back to exercising in some form and reaping the benefits that come with regular activity. also get better at keeping in touch with family/friends. i get so damn swept up in what i'm doing day to day...need to achieve balance. ahhh, as my chinese ancestors would say, with their famous philisophical insights, i "must tread on the rice paper without tearing it, grasshopper". (i miss watching kung fu theatre!!! used to be a tradition at my house every friday night while growing up. my dad was heavy into watching kung fu movies that were *horribly* dubbed in english! the perfect kung fu snack food? peach turnovers and ice cream!!! as my brother and i have started saying...good times...)
professionally, to stay on top of "mountain language" on a more regular basis!!! mountain language is a daily language arts skill worksheet that usually asks 5 questions a day. takes the kids approx. 5-10 min (depending on who's doing it) to complete, but longer to go over & explain answers (can i get an AMEN!, julie?). it's so hard to get everything in...and when the kids struggle with something and i need to spend the extra time or i just run out of time to do a really important lesson/activity, mountain language is usually the first to go. gotta make that more of the daily routine!!!
speaking of school, i gotsa go grade some papers before i get too woozy (as in sleepy). hoping your new year's started off well and wishing you a wonderful and healthy 2006!!!
