Baby, It's HOT outside! (and all about SB!)

I can't believe how freakin' hot it is this morning! At 8:30, on my way home from taking the kids to school, my car thermometer said 96 degrees. No wonder we felt like we were melting waiting for the bell to ring this morning. It needs to cool off a little bit!

Four reasons why I love SB's teacher even more:
1) After three days of school she had already noticed and commented to both SB and myself about what a great writer SB is and how much she loves to write. Three days!!
2) she took time during class to explain to the class that anyone who was blaming Mark for anything happening at school was just stupid. That he is the President of the Board, but only one member and that everything the Board does they think about for a long time. She made SB feel very comfortable and happy!
3) On Thursday evening, SB wasn't feeling well. When I said she might have to stay home on Friday? She BURST into tears and was crying because she loves school so much. She couldn't bear to miss a day! This hasn't happened since 2nd grade!
4) Science. SB has never been interested in science. Until now. Because her homeroom teacher teaches it and is funny and wonderful. Science is suddenly her favorite subject!

SB gets her top braces on Wednesday. I'm glad our orthodontist is a bit more conservative. SB's two friends? They go to a different orthodontist. They both got their braces in 3rd grade. They are both going to have to get them again! What a waste!
