How fun! Lol - out of 120 kids I'm sure you'll have quite a few little stinkers. ;)

Why is it so hard for me to remember you're starting your SECOND year??! May it be full of great adventures.

Hurrah!

Best wishes for a successful year!

I am so excited for you to come visit!

Good luck to you!

I hope things have been going well for you!!!!

Hey! I did not have the chance to visit but Gary and I are back in H-town and I am glad to see you are liking the teaching career. I was looking on Gary's pleo and saw your name and decided to pay my dues and say hello. To be certain that you know who this is, it is Michael. I am enjoying "Houston High School" but might be transfering next year to SFASU

surviving school ok?

Hi I am a teacher too. How do you like the teaming thing? This is our school's first year to do it...its kind of been a slow process of getting used to it and all the changes...but it definitely has its advantages

hey amanda it's robyn from church !!! i go 2 aledo 2 !! do u have a girl named Jessie Hall this year ????

how teaching this year ???

If I weren't comfy sitting in bed, I would go look at my shampoo bottle and see whats in it!

Actually gluten is in most shampoos in general. It's hard to find them without it. Ken's mom can't have gluten and has to use a special shampoo and she was sharing this little known fact with me the other day. Weird, yes.

it's still a problem even if you don't ingest it?

^I was wondering the same thing.... Or ARE you eating your shampoo???? ;)

odd

There is wheat in more than you think. Are you part of the Celiac Support Group? You should because they send you all that info.

I will ask her asap. I know the gluten is way more common in the volumizing shampoos of many brands.

interesting!

yep, that and medicines...hard to believe

Yeah. I'm allergic to Cottonseed Oil and it's EVERYWHERE too.

Some people take this stance, others don't. If you're experiencing a negative reaction to using the shampoo, sure don't use it. But, I have a difficult time making the connection between using topical products that contain wheat and having it in your intestine.

hmmm....I've never heard of shampoo with that in it.

u and daniel look like ya'll are constipated.

.

but it's okay, kuz i also have a nice pretty one of you

my friend todd is gluten intolerant as well...

man, thats pretty ridiculous

um yea i could have told you that some shampoos had wheat in em. my mom had to switch. i thought you knew that though

I never watch the Olympics unless I am at someone else's abode and they are doing so!

I watch smatterings here and there. I like volleyball. I'd watch the beach volleyball if the women would put on some clothes. Gymnastics and swimming always astound me. Those athletes are incredible.

I love softball! especially bc america is awesome :)

lol - I don't even watch them. I have hardly even turned my tv on all summer. :(

I love beach volleyball! I also love to watch gymnastics and swimming.

Hey! Did you get my email?

Wasn't it the best when they got so excited at the last leg and then the win!? Oh I nearly cried.

Track and Field for me, but I like gymnastics, too. I watch as much as I can (winter too)!

^^ Track and Field. Prefer winter Olympics.

I think we should start the Childress Scholarship Fund to send you two to the Olympic in Vancouver. It could be tax deductable you know!

Well it said -

I've got a lot of novels that were in my classroom last year that are for older grades. Would you be interested in them? I've been pulling out the ones that I want to have in my classroom but most of them will probably never be touched. Let me know. If you don't want them that's fine. If you do I can bring them on Wednesday.

i love the olympics!! i can't pick a favorite though...I just love it all!!

Was in Vancover for about 2 hours many years ago while visitng Washington state. Beautiful city Vancouver. Am eagerly awaiting the ping pong (table tennis) matches. That's no joke.

Love the swimming: diving esp. I also love the gymnastics!

I missed it. That's so awesome!! Sounds like it was a great race! I love to watch gymnastics. I also like indoor volleyball! And ice skating. :) All the girly stuff! haha

I do find the commentators rattling on a bit much.

I have watched very little, but I do like the swimming.

I was yelling out loud when Phelps won! Tyler told me to calm down:) Did you see when he was getting the gold medal the chinese cut out the ending of the National Anthem? made me mad:(

i laugh that you actually watch the olympics

There was actually a cold front today. That is why it was only in the low 90's instead of the low 100's.

that's actually good to hear. i haven't said the pledge since high school, though. i have a small excuse :) and thanks!

Vancouver in 2010 would be worth it just to experience all the different countries. Would probably be a once in a lifetime trip.

My fave is the synchronized diving-so beautiful to watch. Michael Phelp's smile reminds me of Andrew Holder's. I can just picture Andrew on the platform winning a gold medal. I think any one of the Holders could win in a variety of categories!

that sounds way too exciting for me to comprehend. if only auditing were that fun!

wow, I wouldn't want to have to do that job!!

gelato fixes mushy brains

Ohhh, the fun part of teaching!

yuck - that does NOT sound fun!

I haven't read all the new TEKS yet. I am interested in doing so though, considering how progressive English is lately.

sounds like bundles of fun

you're so cool

no its not. you can breath =) i love you too, and i love how i got like six comments, makes me feel special. getting my own personal prayer is pretty awesome too =)

sweet, me too! ijust never have anyone who like to do it back, at least not promptly =)

I just wanted to trick you, so you definitely didn't have to return the call ;) Yes, we do. I need to pull out my calander- was it this Saturday you're going to paint? We will get together soon!

Hey girl, remind of where you are teaching?

I understand completely! Been there myself..but fortunately not yet this year!

That sounds like so much fun.......not!!!!

Guess what!......You are my friend!!.....I feel sorry for you no joke because I happen to be a very loud person....amd I like to randomly ramble on your pleonast blog for aboslutley no reason...it's rather fun and your probably wondering right about now why your still reading this and I know the answer to that...do you wana know?...do ya? do ya? Well actually the answer is there is no answer it's completley pointless!!!!! so I just used up a ton of space on your blog rambling about absolutley nothing....have a nice day

i still havent gotten my phone call
