Friday Five

I'm linking up with Emmy Mom for Friday Five.
Share five thoughts and five pictures.

1.  I'm so excited!  I'm going to see my daughters! One is at college about six hours away, and the other is at college another 2 1/2 hours away.  Luckily, you pass through one city to get to the other, so we can see them both.  I have been waiting all week for this!  Today's finally here!

2.  Writing an online professional development course for teachers was harder than I thought it was going to be.  I met my deadline Tuesday, thank goodness, but I still have a few things I can go back and tweak.  It has been a long, complex process.  I wonder if I had it to do over again if I would.

3.  Last week, our students spent about an hour and a half shooting a school-wide video.  Our radio/TV teacher puts together a song mix, and the kids are all lined up in the halls throughout the school.  This year they held up signs with positive messages on them as he went by to film.  Sounds like fun, no?  No!  Biggest waste of time!  The kids are super-crazy, and they expect us to go back to class after this.

4.  I would rather have a valentine party with my students than film the video, but we don't have parties in intermediate (middle) school.  That's something they leave behind in elementary school, but it's kind of a sad thing.

5.  Spring break can't get here soon enough!

This is the book I'm reading now.

A late Valentine's wish!

I miss watching my daughter perform with color guard.

I miss supporting my son through FFA.

I thought this flower was pretty.  I took this picture Jan. 17 in Galveston.
