Celebrity Sighting at the Pool

This morning I woke up and decided to go for a swim and then sit in the hot tub at the gym. I was a little concerned that I might see some of my students in the pool practicing with their swim team, so I called ahead to make sure there were no swim teams in the pool. The lady told me that the pool was clear, so I headed for the gym. Upon arriving I spot 4 students in the pool. I jumped in the far lane and ignored them for a good half hour. It wasn't until their practice ended that I ran into trouble. A couple kids from my class were standing at the outside showers chatting loudly. (Nothing unusual, I now know they don't just constantly talk in my class) I was getting really tired of swimming and wanted to get out of the pool, but they were good motivation for me to keep going because I was so inconspicuous in my goggles. Well, I couldn't handle the pool anymore and they weren't moving from the showers. I got out and bee lined straight for my towell. Upon this move they spotted me. This is what caught my attention....
"Oh my God, that is my teacher!"
my response: "Oh, hey guys how's it going?"

Now I really wanted to get into the hot tub so I put my towell around me the best I could and headed for the hot tub. While walking away I hear the chatter...

"Hey everyone, that's my new 5th grade teacher!"

I would have liked to just wear the towell into the hot tub, but I couldn't so I dropped it at the last second to get in. This is what I hear next....

"Oh my GOD!!!"

If that doesn't give someone a complex I don't know what does. I think I am going to have to pull out the one piece next time. At least they realize that I don't live in my classroom on the weekends. Can't wait to see the little darlings Monday morning. Their response usually goes something like this....

"Hey, I saw you at the pool on Saturday."
my response: "ya, wasn't that fun!"

1st Day

Today was the first day of school.

37 students....

1 little boy rolled his eyes at me and thought he would get away with it...

1 little girl tried passing notes in class and thought she would get away with it....

179 school days left....

I'm trying to be optimistic....

Roses!

I have been complaining to Tim lately that it has been a while since he bought me flowers. So I got these.... thorns included.

Little Hosking

We spent one of the last summer weekends haning out with RJ, Anna, and little Landon recently. He's such a cute kid, and it was super fun watching RJ and Anna be parents. We are heading back down to Ventura in a couple weeks. Just can't get enough!

SLO Girls Reunion

It was so much fun to host our college girls reunion at my house this year. We had a great time catching up, laying out at the beach, and eating lots of food from all of those "must eat at" restaurants in San Luis when you are visiting. It was a lot of fun to see Monique and Becky with their pregnant bellies.
