Hello all,

Okay so I haven't really kept up with the whole blogging updates so let me see here...

Well first of all, as you can see from my picture here on the left, I have a huge scratch/cut on my forehead, long story short, it involved a straightener and a burn that I irritated by scratching.  The mark is kinda distracting to my summer school kids.  One student seriously asked me a couple days ago if it was a hickey.  Really, I didn't make that up.  

Speaking of summer school, I started teaching two weeks ago.  I've taught summer school every summer for the past 5-6 years.  Never have had a problem till this year.  I've never been insulted by so many middle school students in such a short period of time (at least not to my face).  It's been very hard to say the least.  I have not come home crying from a day of teaching since my first year in L.A.  Well, last week I was so frustrated with their behavior I just broke down when I got home.  Thank God I have such a sweet understanding husband to help pick my head up and keep trying.  This week was not the best, but it was better.

Geof and I are heading to L.A. on Saturday and Sunday.  I will be sure to post pics from the Santa Monica Promenade.
