Happy New Year!

These last two weeks have been very eventful for me. It started out with my mom having back surgery, which was a HUGE success. She ended up having a calcified cyst pushing on one nerve and a bone spur pushing on another nerve. The surgeon cut out the cyst and snipped the spur alleviating the pressure on her nerves. Her pain has literally gone away. It is almost a miracle. Due to her surgery right before Christmas, I spent Christmas Eve with her and then Christmas Day with my husband, Jacob, Sydney and my husband's parents. I got a Wii, a purse and a pink beach cruiser blinged out in pink cheetah. I love it! I then got the flu as did my entire family and then got a cold, as did my entire family. My birthday was on the 30th. I turned the big 40. Yikes, I am getting old. It is scary how time can pass so quickly. I got another purse and went to Javier's in Newport Beach for the best Mexican food on the planet. We then went and saw Black Swan. Very strange movie. On Saturday, I went to Burke William's spa and had a facial and massage. I was at the spa for 5 hours. It was pure bliss. I hope your two weeks were eventful. What did you do?

I'm sorry...

Dear class,
I am sooooo sorry for snapping at you yesterday at the end of the day. It was uncalled for and unnecessary. Even though I wasn't feeling well, it doesn't mean that I should take it out on one of my FAVORITE classes EVER! I love each and every one of you and couldn't ask for better students. You all try so hard and put forth such great effort. I hope you can accept my apology. Let's have a fabulous day together. I love you guys.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Holman
P.S. Let's respond in different colors. That might be fun.

Have you ever felt so sick you thought you were going to die? Well, that was my Sunday. How was your weekend.

I missed you yesterday and will definitely miss you today. Make sure you make good choices throughout the day.
Prompt: If you won a million dollars, what would you do with it and why?

Happy Tuesday...

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend and Halloween. My kids were so cute and really enjoyed themselves. Jacob fell twice and Sydney took a huge header down four stairs. She literally slid face first. It was scary at first but then, being the good mom that I am, proceeded to laugh hysterically. Needless to say, she wasn't pleased with mommy.

Imagine you are one inch tall. What would you do?

Welcome to Room 4

I am so excited to be composing my VERY first message on my VERY first blog ever!! Can you believe it? In a technology society, I have always been a little nervous about venturing out into cyberspace, and now I have officially done it. I hope you are as excited as I am about being able to blog with your classmates and me. I look forward to blogging with you this school year.
