~ 1 more week until Fall Break! Can't. Wait!
~ Things are still crazy busy at work. I thought they were going to slow down after Break, but things keep popping up...like kids needing IEPs.
~ I'm just really glad I have a decent intern this semester. She's very enthusiastic, and is a real go-getter.
~ Community band and Flute Choir both started up a couple of weeks ago. Last year I practiced every day; this year...not so much. I just haven't had the time. (Maybe starting another blog has something to do with it.)
~ I've decided I'm waaay over-worked this year. I have the largest caseload in the school system, and am the only Speech Path. who has a special ed preschool and am responsible for another school. I'm not doing something right. Either that, or somebody is trying to get rid of me. (Not going to happen!)
~ 100 days 'til Downton Abbey!!!
~ Finds for the week:
At Aldi: "Spargel" was very popular in Germany when we were there. I tasted this while I was there, but couldn't bring myself to actually buy any when I saw it the other day.
Also in Aldi: Something else that I had in Germany. Spaetzle is like an egg noodle. I haven't tried this yet...maybe over the weekend.
~ I'm looking forward to a nice quiet weekend; what are your plans?
I need to make those cookies for the youth kiddos... a good excuse for me to have some :)
ReplyDeleteYES!! Downton Abby!!!!! Bring it on!!
Fall break already, that seems early to me. I can't wait for Downton Abbey. A woman I bowl with already has it on something called Droid TV!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.
The year I worked in your county I was FULL TIME in the Preschool Handicapped program, which at the time was housed at Everett. Twenty kids, three teachers, three aides (not all full time), a part time PT, a part time OT, and a full time SLP (me). I sat in circle time with them and was with them at lunch. I saw every student individaully several times a week.
ReplyDeleteps-it was my all time favorite job : )
Yes - just by having the special ed preschool you are overworkd, the other school is just mean! Prayers for a smooth final weeks before and a great fall break!!!
ReplyDeleteToo bad The Man hates pumpkin (I know, right?!?!). I'd make those for him and ask him to enjoy them for me :). Now I need to go find a gluten-free pumpkin cookie recipe :).
I'm also so excited for Downton Abbey! Enjoy your weekend and your food finds.
ReplyDeleteLove your pretty header photo :)
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why speech teachers have such incredible caseloads! Is an intern a student teacher? Here's hoping this week goes by quickly and you can get that much-needed break!
Thanks for linking up. Off to find your other blog!
