My Girl!

4th Grade has been a rough one for my Corrin. She started out the year with the teacher she really wanted. She was happy and doing well in class. Then a teacher/family member died who taught in the kindergarten. So Corrin's teacher who is happiest as a kinder teacher took the vacant spot. Corrin got a new fresh out of college teacher. So between the girls that were making her life miserable she had to deal w/a teacher that was rigid and made her more miserable. Corrin became sad and cried alot. This is NOT her. She has always been a straight A student and 2 of her grades dropped to a B and a C. The teacher couldn't explain it and said that it was missing assignments. I know my daughter and there were no missing assignments. She made life very miserable. Anyhow after much struggle we were blessed w/her being moved to a new class w/a new teacher right after the Christmas break.

Immediately Corrin was happy again. She came home from school and said she could talk outside when they were in line. It has been the best thing ever to have her smile again. She loves her new teacher and is thriving. Her conferences went wonderful, but today she got a award at the Awards Assembly and this is what it said :

"Corrin Shuster has earned recognition for Being a model student. You have done an outstanding jo0b of getting every assignment in. You are an amazing student! Your efforts have really helped you achieve higher grades. Keep up the great work and keep that smile on your face!"

Wow what a difference a great teacher can make in the life of a student. In case you ever wonder how to be there for your child just listen. I am thankful I am able to help out in the classroom so I can see first hand what it is really like. I am so thankful that God allowed Corrin to be moved to the best learning place for her.

Oh she also got the P.E. award too:o)

In case that's not enough...

In addition to my last post in my fight against aging. I vow to pull, pluck, wax, shave or tweeze any hair that has the nerve to grow anywhere else other than my head. Just ask my mom she will attest to this being a goal of mine. I have recently become a fan of having my eyebrows waxed. I don't enjoy the pain of it or the horrible red marks around my eyebrows when I am done but after an hour I am VERY happy. Crazy the things that make this girl happy:o)

Hello my name is Amy and I love Facebook

I guess I am becoming a huge blogger slacker. I think to myself that I have nothing to say that is interesting to anyone but myself and I already know so what's the point? But my Facebook is easy it is just a few sentences and I am done. So I am going to have to think of s/thing more than once a month to blog about. I know it's not interesting but Kolette got her hair cut in a bob again. She isn't too happy about it since she wants it long. She just isn't in on the secret that she has super fine hair that doesn't hold a curl and there really isn't much of it. So unless by a miracle it decides to be thick and full of body she is stuck w/short hair dos. Me? Well I had to get my hair highlighted b/c I refuse to not be blond. I also refuse to age gracefully. I WILL NOT HAVE WHITE HAIR!!! I vow I will color my hair and it color won't take on my hair when it is all white I will find a way to make it not white whether w/a permanent marker or Rit dye. Yep I am insane! I did pull out a white hair the other day. It's not like I have very many but I am preparing for the battle. Why do they figure out how to grow so much faster than the rest of my hair? Is it b/c I vow to destroy them w/color? Ok I will stop on my rant over aging in any sense of the word. But I do feel better b/c it is off my chest and my hair is once again it's blonde self:o)

Have a blessed day all!
