"Just put that in your calculator and graph it"

So I know this is dedicated to my journey through hip replacement but I have no real hip news right now. I am waiting for my next hip to be operated on in June. That is June 2nd if you haven't marked your prayer calendar yet. My ceramic hip is great. It never ceases to amaze me how much this whole journey is going to improve my life. I can't wait.

In other life news, on Wednesday I mail off my National Board box for attempt 2. I hope I pass this time. You can add that to your prayers too(I won't find out until November). We are in the middle of my favorite time of the year at school, ok so maybe that is a slight exaggeration, do you know what that is? That right state testing time. It is the time of the year where I get to say one million five hundred and fifty-two times why don't you put it in your graphing calculator, you know we can check our answer in our graphing calculator, or how about if we use the graphing calculator on this one. In fact one of my kiddos said today "Just put that in your calculator, and graph it" you know like "put it that in your pipe and smoke it" I am using my inner cheerleader skill this month (yes that is right GO MATH!). As I explained to my kiddos today this test is very important to me and should be very important to them as well. So prayer request 3 pray my kiddos are attentive during review and are confident for the test on May 7th. If that isn't enough stress I called to jury duty on April 27th. That's right take me out of my classroom during the most stressful time of the year. My friends at school just laugh at me when I mention it. Don't you think they should be sympathic. I just told them I was going to put their names in the suggested juror box when I went in. Oh well it is my civic duty right and I get paid $20 a day plus mileage. Well I hope you have a great day and I will blog again soon. Just remember you can "Put that in your calculator and graph it" (I think it might be my new theme.)
