s it summer vacation and in case you are wondering how i know it is a 73 day vacation it is because one of my first graders wanted to know how many days we had off in fact she kept asking until we stopped found a calendar and counted them and 73 it was but now oh no it is now only 68 days i definately need a vacation and to stop counting the days posted by maree at 12 40 pm no comments the birthday week i have always had such chagrin over my children s multiple birthday parties when in fact there is only one real birth day i admit it is my fault of course i always say we don t let the day go by in case we ended up having the party on the weekend because of family work schedules and it began with maybe going to taco bell on the actual day and having the big party on the weekend it has evolved into going out to dinner twice in the week with everyone going we used to have the real party at one of our houses with home cooked meal but not any more no one wants to cook the meal much less eat it we all seem to want to go out and now much to my embarrassment i have done nothing but celebrate my birthday this entire week we are going camping on thursday which is my actual birthday and so sam and angelee took me out to lunch yesterday today i am going to dinner and a movie with laura chris and susan and who knows what tomorrow the real birthday will bring chris managed to buy my lunch not to mention the huge pot and azalea for my front corner on monday i seem to be having a birthday this year that keeps going on and on and on i am happy that so many people seem to love me i will be glad when all this celebrating is over but i am glad that we have occasion to celebrate in other words i am still here to celebrate posted by maree at 12 10 pm 1 comment sunday april 4 2010 10 days of blisssssssssss here i am at the end of spring break easter vacation how can 10 days go so fast is what i want to know but i have accomplished everything on my list except i never made it to lake tahoe but i am going as soon as this weather clears up i feel bad that i am not a braver driver but i am california valley driver not a winter mountain driver and so is everyone so surprised at the weather i thought that we were into spring but remember the groundhog did see his shadow we had a very nice easter dinner today everyone who could come came the food turned out good surprise it was nice to have a house full of family and friends hey another earthquake you all know what this means and it is getting closer to home 9000 tweets a minute fyi 47 days of school and seminary left but who is counting posted by maree at 9 56 pm 1 comment sunday february 28 2010 a ladies lunch i was invited to a ladies lunch which turned out to be a 70th birthday party for a lady who worked in my classroom last year as a volunteer i met her through laura and since she was also invited we went together we both had a very good time the lunch was catered by lots java and so the food was excellent wine was offered to laura and she declined probably because i was there they told her it would be okay for her to have wine since no men were there laura still declined the gracious thoughtful offer this is my new friend but i don t remember her name the music was provided by a live barely band called just us laura and i took flowers and of course they were lovely this is fran the birthday girl she is really a lot of fun the rest of the attendees were not as lively as fran maybe they got a late start on the wine anyway laura and i are available to attend any birthday lunch catered if needed just call us and we will check our schedules angelee i blame you for this stupid blog why are the pictures like this posted by maree at 9 17 pm 2 comments tuesday february 23 2010 sick day i am home sick today my head is pounding and i am so tired thanks to angelee who is taking her life in her hands by subbing my first graders most people think oh first grade how fun but those people have not taken their life in their hands by visiting room 1 at bird street school but those people are mostly correct generally speaking first grade is very fun but sometimes the sun and the planets line up to create a most unnatural force in the atmosphere that causes some phenonomens here on earth and my class is one of them i have several groups the baby boys the bossy girls the yakkity yakkers the blessed ones and the psychos i spend my days trying to motivate these various groups to bring their behaviors closer to what is expected in public education these days with 25 children in the classroom the various groups need to bend to the direction of the teacher so that learning can take place i don t merely want to survive i want to see that every child in my classroom is ready for second grade and herein lies the problem most of the children that i have don t want to listen oh i shouldn t say that they do want to listen if they have time after doing what they are consumed with at that moment the bossy girls are telling everyone what to do the baby boys are rolling on the floor or playing i ll poke you and then you poke me the yakkers are having conversations with everyone around them the blessed are sitting there ready to learn thank goodness for them all 6 of them and you don t even want to know what the psychos are doing who knows what they are thinking anyway why am i discussing this on my sick day all i wanted to really say was thank you angelee and becky who babysat and since i have a blog that noone reads except for angelee and maybe sam and maybe ben but surely noone else i would like to say that i love my seminary class i love teaching the book of mormon but in the midst of all this gooey love and tenderness i am feeling a tad of nonsupport from some of the parents of the students in my class at least 3 weeks ago i mailed a letter to each of them which i am very proud of doing because i am notorious for having good ideas but doing nothing with that good idea but i actually wrote the letters made copies addressed them stamped them put in a self addressed stamped envelope went home to get them when i forgot them turned around at school when i forgot to mail them and actually mailed them wow yay for me i asked in this letter for a letter from them to their son or daughter kinda like what alma said to his sons helaman shiblom and corianton and yes i have most of the letters at this point but guess whose letters i don t have my friends letters yes that would be jagodas robertson s and hancocks oh well maybe they have been on a cruise or maybe they ran out of paper or maybe they are more busy than any of the other parents who have dutifully returned their letters to me it is not up to me to judge each time i have talked to annette she says hopefully am i too late oh no you are not too late i wish i had a letter from my mother hey i found my camera i had lost my red camera my new red glasses and my new grandchildren necklace from christmas angelee found the glasses and the necklace and i found the camera this morning i am not publishing where i found it posted by maree at 10 32 am 2 comments friday october 23 2009 birthdays this is kate and cyndi in lake tahoe kate turned one and it was so fun to see her this is maree charlee and joshua sitting on the lawn at angelees house we had just returned from a shopping trip to costco so we were all eating cookies this is a landmark picture because joshua is actually sitting on my lap voluntarily probably because i brought the cookies angelee i definately need blogging help a good time was had by all at casa lupe on thursday night we were all there for nick s b day of course we weren t all there we were missing the sacramento acebos and darryl and the lake tahoe acebos are rarely at our functions but we managed without them no one got drunk and disorderly so it was all good my first grade class is difficult it is taking a toll on me my seminary class is fun they are good kids who are actually almost on time my teacher peers are worried about me i guess i look bad i need more but who doesn t i love to sit in my tan chair and do nothing walt volunteered to teach seminary for me on friday i was greatful any other takers it is almost november wow things could be worse the balloon boy idea could have been my bright idea america s top model is my favorite show how stupid is that nephi is an amazing man i wonder what he thinks of the events of 2009 i love the weekends posted by maree at 10 01 pm 2 comments thursday october 8 2009 a funeral in salt lake city well we have lost another mortal to the spirit world yes my sister bonnie has left her mortal body here on earth and has decided to live painlessly in paradise and yes we know she is in paradise she spent the last 3 years of her life making amends and getting ready for her entry into the next stage of her journey the funeral was very nice as expected she has been talking about her funeral for the last 40 years she always talked about her beautiful blue dress she was very excited and proud of the fact that everything was paid for it was not that she didn t trust her kids but at that time only she was in the position to pay for a funeral and so she arranged it the way she wanted i feel truly blessed to have met bonnie she was 17 years older than me i was so surprised to find out at the funeral that she was only 1 year younger than my mom when she died my mom seemed old and bonnie didn t so i guess this means that i am old and don t know it anyway bonnie was a force of nature like a hurricane or a tornado nothing to be reckoned with pete jo and i just stood back and watched and listened to her in action oh the stories she could tell we were from the little town of oroville under the thumb of paul budd rose he had already abandoned the little family in which bonnie was born and so she had the genes of my dad but was not at all influenced by him she was amazing her raucous laugh and flowery language mesmerized us one amazing story was of her buying a brand new buick from a dealership in salt lake everything went amazingly well she walked in picked out her car oh did i mention this was in the 1970 s and then the time came for the signitures she signed and then they wanted to know when her husband would be in to sign she looked them in the eye and explained that her husband would not be signing she was buying the car they explained that they needed her husband s signature she explained that he would not be signing they had to make several phone calls she ended up driving the car home oh she was so proud of that anyway no one was more self centered than bonnie it was always about her and we loved it she told us amazing stories she had heart break and lost a favored grandson is a drug sale gone wrong gang shooting but everything about her was larger than life and we were like little kids with big eyes watching an r rated movie my brother was a pall bearer this is me pete and jo this other man is the bishop who gave a very nice talk you could tell he actually knew her it was very nice the flowers were actually very nice i always notice the flowers anyway i came home sick really sick and i also had dead battery and a hair appointment and a doctor s appointment and i had to make sub plans every day has been better since then bye bonnie i will see you later and i will miss you posted by maree at 7 37 pm 1 comment sunday september 6 2009 seminary 2009 i love my new seminary class not that i didn t love all the others but fear grips the heart of all seminary teachers as they approach the new year the questions just pop up in my mind will they like me ans of course not it is seminary stupid will they listen ans of course not it is seminary stupid will they be on time ans of course not it is seminary stupid will i make it through the year ans of course you always do so with all those questions now answered i can tell you that this is going to be a great year i will just settle in with my customary schedule teach seminary teach first grade study go to bed teach seminary and so it goes i have decided i like to teach seminary i have feared it for three years and this is the year i am going to enjoy it for some reason i am no longer fearful oh my class this year would tell me with confidence that it is because of my wonderful students this year but i have to admit i have had wonderful students every year and some of them are either on or are going on missions anthony bruce sean hardwick of course none of them write to me but then again i don t write to them one of them is married kara one has marriage plans becca many are at college anyway here are this years seniors 2009 they have already had their last first day of seminary thankfully janne and jorge both go to butte for college connections we all envy them as they walk out the door 10 minutes early jimmy a nice quiet boy he definately belonged in last years
