Here are some cool things
1. Organization: I feel so much more organized this school year! I love it. My classroom is so cute. Everything is all daisies and sunflowers (red & yellow) with a little a hint of Kansas (KU posters). I even have a little vase on my peer conference table that is filled with (fake) purple daisies. I organized all my file cabinets. I have a new system for turning in work. I have all my special ed, tutoring, ESL, parent files organized where I can get to them! I love being organized!
2. My new mentee and my old one. Well, I'll talk about my old one first. She's not old because she's at least two years younger than me. This is her second year teaching and she and her husband are welcoming baby Wyatt around Thanksgiving. She is the BEST reading teacher around. Her students are so lucky to have her.
My new mentee is Emily. She graduated from OU with a degree in English (yeah, another out of state girl!) She is awesome. Great go-getter attitude and strong work ethic. I think we'll be great friends and I think she'll be a great teacher!
3. New Jersey- We bought our tickets for Thanksgiving. I can't wait!
4. My fiance. He truly is my partner in life. I hope I impact his life as much as he has impacted mine. This weekend he was truly my savior. When my car got broken into he took care of everything. He always has my back.
5. my students- I'm so excited for this school year. My kids are so little and scared. That will all change...
Not Cool
1. Waking up at 6:45am yesterday to walk my dogs and discovering that someone broke my car window and stole the XM radio Murad bought for my birthday. NOT F-ing cool at ALL!
2. Having a $500 deductible on my insurance. NOT F-ing cool. My wonderful fiance paid for it all and everything was fixed when I got home this afternoon. Today was his day off and he did it all for me! He cussed the insurance people out too. Thanks, babe!
3. Not cool: mean teachers. I love the teachers with whom I work....most of them. I don't appreciate being called a "pretty girl" in a condescending way. I will tell you to your face and if you don't like it tough shit. I also don't like it when experienced teachers try to make new teachers feel like crap.
That's pretty much it for my cool vs. not cool list! Enjoy

Oh man.. I love this post! Especially the part about "PRETTY GIRLS!" Certain people just think they can say and do whatever they want! BUTT - FACE... is all I can say to them! Oour new teachers our WONDERFUL this year... what is up with certain people? Maybe they should be SHOT?! ha
That totally sucks about your car, but your future DH does have your back. Good luck being the "pretty girls"- sounds like they are jealous and assume they can treat you any way they want. What a shame! Good luck with year number 4!!!!
