It’s a deviation of Call the cows in since I grew up on a ranch in Midlo, TX, and yes that stands for “middle of nowhere”. Well, actually, that’s my BFF’s interpretation of my hometown. I have an amazing family, wonderful friends, and the most rewarding job in the world- I teach.Call the Preppies Inhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03056358020905101639noreply@blogger.comBlogger68125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7796799660055455582.post-51565018816652815682009-04-02T06:46:00.003-05:002009-04-02T07:01:37.028-05:00JL<div><span style="color:#000099;">Looking over my provisional requirements and I still have a cultural event, city council meeting, school board meeting, placement interview, and Glass slipper Project to check off!!</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#000099;">Geez!!!!

YIKES!! </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#000099;">I am seriously thinking about putting in a transfer in August for Junior League Dallas just b/c it would be so much closer to me. Currently, I have about a 45 minute commute one way, and have minimum 2 meetings a week.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#000099;">Only hesitation I have is leaving the friendships behind @ JLA. I am not sure what I will do. Still have time to decide. </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#000099;">League really has been an amazing experience and will be something I am a part of wherever I go.

I think it's the sense of accomplishment feeling that I crave. I'm getting things ready for our first Math TAKS tutoring program in the morning @ 8am. It will last 4 hours. Not really sure how this is going to go over, but we'll soon find out. Thought I might take Krispy Kremes to the kiddos.<br />I'm watching Friday Night Lights right now. I've heard a ton of great talk about it, but to me it's waaaaayyy to depressing.

Wish Mom could have joined. :(<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIvrfbJ0kk6wjfFRWKD6nF3g5sakSFGTjTqt1sNbILNQIDO1hpSoBpSKT8rYeqKmxw-1o481ZUY2_wZDDLAC0BXglbMfYE0Q5Jof6m7QnnTpz1DHoghg_lPK98g9c1i9wZfmNfq7vSCcoD/s1600-h/DSCN3185.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIvrfbJ0kk6wjfFRWKD6nF3g5sakSFGTjTqt1sNbILNQIDO1hpSoBpSKT8rYeqKmxw-1o481ZUY2_wZDDLAC0BXglbMfYE0Q5Jof6m7QnnTpz1DHoghg_lPK98g9c1i9wZfmNfq7vSCcoD/s400/DSCN3185.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260946064284400930" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAqzdPoR7EQfzyucVN7zMItqz9pUQiTQd-KVY_XN_uORn4yi1LYWhnO6polTY_Fy-iZyGtWt0OPnf7GaO7YHlvsr1RVdp93jSAOuWp_ecNI7uJrSIZ9Z3oNgOlPns7atpKIqSAr74sr9kk/s1600-h/DSCN3186.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAqzdPoR7EQfzyucVN7zMItqz9pUQiTQd-KVY_XN_uORn4yi1LYWhnO6polTY_Fy-iZyGtWt0OPnf7GaO7YHlvsr1RVdp93jSAOuWp_ecNI7uJrSIZ9Z3oNgOlPns7atpKIqSAr74sr9kk/s400/DSCN3186.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260946380668775810" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq_0dPOBmvTXd7ENhA-VcYutWTWpIeEuDDmX4kqfC65Wa4xwoDszkN253o5eUSVomy0FTFj591W_MjM1YFT7_7krKwBzvVtKUjI_r4eY79XS0dGPAYPXFtRxNXo-eM-tVDdQfwkX8P1LsG/s1600-h/DSCN3184.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq_0dPOBmvTXd7ENhA-VcYutWTWpIeEuDDmX4kqfC65Wa4xwoDszkN253o5eUSVomy0FTFj591W_MjM1YFT7_7krKwBzvVtKUjI_r4eY79XS0dGPAYPXFtRxNXo-eM-tVDdQfwkX8P1LsG/s400/DSCN3184.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260946201852641682" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiamhzseJAmsm7CM4FX8aOrjZauc0a54emutj99tZIyh_SDt92o5yWnZVxFJGmLqxlaLQXIzcg4Gi5S0Qy5iqVWrNm6npgztX1XC4qaxxyrhyphenhyphen-TOEZId5-SDpD-Pd2CkvQEZK7kLnttGpV/s1600-h/DSCN3205.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiamhzseJAmsm7CM4FX8aOrjZauc0a54emutj99tZIyh_SDt92o5yWnZVxFJGmLqxlaLQXIzcg4Gi5S0Qy5iqVWrNm6npgztX1XC4qaxxyrhyphenhyphen-TOEZId5-SDpD-Pd2CkvQEZK7kLnttGpV/s400/DSCN3205.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261143767904337234" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirlCIQiesZ8gj9ca9ylNZOe9nNx7DiHtOpAg2bHlDAp3VUVi_z7LSUQO9KZf2TEkCtTkHZ0buq4S_r8XnrfF8pLDJ0U5HXURQmB04A-eXtbPU9Tf3dknTysOXPGLqt_ks5nRODk4vAVFEO/s1600-h/DSCN3190.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirlCIQiesZ8gj9ca9ylNZOe9nNx7DiHtOpAg2bHlDAp3VUVi_z7LSUQO9KZf2TEkCtTkHZ0buq4S_r8XnrfF8pLDJ0U5HXURQmB04A-eXtbPU9Tf3dknTysOXPGLqt_ks5nRODk4vAVFEO/s400/DSCN3190.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261143569385613970" /></a>Call the Preppies Inhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03056358020905101639noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7796799660055455582.post-42172009862586549452008-10-24T18:58:00.004-05:002008-10-24T19:30:38.178-05:00I'm back...In the swing of things....<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI71Q7IJFczGLC4V8SbHnzzEC9QUatRWeHpPrzeeRqIkFUKrrlzKGoohKXRzZGCF3_wlP_Vv_YwWIeoOXf4YIssWi_67h0KEgjVdNATGYr22WpCmgGOT-sDiGpob0A8e8DS2xhssAhs-PB/s1600-h/DSCN1626.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI71Q7IJFczGLC4V8SbHnzzEC9QUatRWeHpPrzeeRqIkFUKrrlzKGoohKXRzZGCF3_wlP_Vv_YwWIeoOXf4YIssWi_67h0KEgjVdNATGYr22WpCmgGOT-sDiGpob0A8e8DS2xhssAhs-PB/s400/DSCN1626.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260878857547520914" /></a><br />Sorry to leave my fellow blog friends in the dark. Lot's has been going on and I've been dying to post. I'm feeling much better. Thanks for the sweet comments. :) I have a feeling this will be the first of several posts this weekend. I got out of school early today for Homecoming..i know , so sweet, right? Too bad and sad that the girls can not wear their mums to school. I know they're a huge distraction, but such a Texas thing.<br />So, after school today I went to get a car wash and was then southbound 35...Yep. I'm in Austin right now spending the weekend w/ an old friend.. We are having our own "little retreat". Kim- don't me mad at me plz!! :) <br />The trip down was very long and traffic was backed up for miles when i hit dwntwn traffic. I was just cruising along in the Beamer (that is no longer sick since I spent $1100 to get it fixed) and then what happens??!! Uh..huh. All of a sudden in rush hour traffic it completely dies and people start honking - so embarrassing- I was like PLZ God- I do not want to make Austin news right now. So, God heard me and my car started back up!! Thank goodness! We'll just say it was a "computer foul".<br /><br />That's all for now...about to eat pot pie w/ "B" and catch up. :)<br /><br />Oh..and BFF..I got your txt about the Tori B online 25% off sale. Just go ahead and pick out your bday gift. :) That's the VERY LEAST I CAN DO!!!!!!!!!!!!Call the Preppies Inhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03056358020905101639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7796799660055455582.post-69449816218883117232008-10-17T15:48:00.003-05:002008-10-17T15:56:00.274-05:00TGIF<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV7D9b2nlQKtcJt5QdW8x5VeFqe0Q_SXmhZrpnjujZrRaaTbRBnvIAuxBql0DQu5Mtg59X9Cb_gM4HD0_bwyEs1JuXv6H3UlHGOX-R6InEOjBtsoNxIwHuo2IR8uSsQlTCo3TkpX_1VfJn/s1600-h/sick.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV7D9b2nlQKtcJt5QdW8x5VeFqe0Q_SXmhZrpnjujZrRaaTbRBnvIAuxBql0DQu5Mtg59X9Cb_gM4HD0_bwyEs1JuXv6H3UlHGOX-R6InEOjBtsoNxIwHuo2IR8uSsQlTCo3TkpX_1VfJn/s400/sick.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258229105535324178" /></a><br />Thank goodness it's Friday and I get to go home and go to bed. I knew last night when I left my JL meeting I was getting sick. Bad thing is that since I'm sick the school nurse says no to my free flu shot. Darn it! Should have not put it off. I was planning on running in the Race for the Cure tomorrow morning, but something tells me that I won't make that big of a difference- they are expecting like 19,000 people! I still need to go get a mani/pedi for date tomorrow night w/ "E". We have charity event to go to. :)<br /><br />Hope everyone has a great weekend and Go Tech- Beat A&M!!!!!!Call the Preppies Inhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03056358020905101639noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7796799660055455582.post-68245750491063872192008-10-16T17:15:00.002-05:002008-10-16T17:24:46.161-05:00It goes to show..<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjexiFF1TBMFoItwoNUJC-LkfwOu2EAeMAeDGv38NEj3PSxCjaB8eEZ1cap6y-PwM3i9IrXftDepMRm40v060ckhjNAWMxzJ7tFD0oxF04l68i88iBmhvfIvxZ7bZ5rurVKcQuQ60aJAQpJ/s1600-h/reader.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjexiFF1TBMFoItwoNUJC-LkfwOu2EAeMAeDGv38NEj3PSxCjaB8eEZ1cap6y-PwM3i9IrXftDepMRm40v060ckhjNAWMxzJ7tFD0oxF04l68i88iBmhvfIvxZ7bZ5rurVKcQuQ60aJAQpJ/s400/reader.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257881233469195074" /></a><br />One person, one idea at a time can change the lives of many children.<br /><br />I want to share this story with you about a bus driver in our district. <br />Pretty cool and inspirational. :)<br /><br />Three years ago, (we'll just refer to him as "Mr. B") began a reading program on his bus. Students would read on the buses to and from school and he would give away a little prize (pencil/eraser, etc..) to the student who read the most each week. As the year progressed, several teachers began noticing that their students were improving in the area of reading. When the teachers asked their students about their progress, they told them that they were reading on the bus…<br /><br />Now in year three of the program, the “Reading Riders” program has spread to seventeen of our district buses. The program was featured in the National Transportation Magazine this summer, our district started receiving phone calls from across the United States on how to get the program started. The program has received letters of congratulations from the Governor Rick Perry AND from the President of the United States, President Bush.<br /><br />Amazing how one idea can go a long way :)Call the Preppies Inhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03056358020905101639noreply@blogger.com4
