I am now at Stage 4 Decatur Re-Assimilation. Decatur Eagle window decal. It is done.
I am basing this off of stages that I make up as I go. So far:
Stage 1: Eat at Casa Torres once a week. Easily accomplished soon after arrival.
Stage 2: When a friend asks you to visit their house and they tell you it is in Heritage Creek - expect it to be "Ritzy Rural." Usually "new money" types from Keller. And it was.
Stage 3: Attend all home football games. In process, but consider this one a given. And I went to an away game to make up for any I may miss in the future.
I finally got my 1st paycheck!! My checking account jumped up from literally $9.95 which it had sat at since the beginning of the summer. Hooray! I celebrated by splurging on a TCU jersey. Those things are pricey. But now I'll have something cool to wear during Red Ribbon Week. Haha!
In other school related things, the principal helped my class start a recycling program for the 4th grade. We are spreading our hippie love throughout the school. Although they now refer to themselves as tree-huggers instead. Oh my, they are crazy, but entertaining. And I am now the UIL Spelling Coach, so that will be fun I hope.
It's still going okay, but I am really tired. Really, really tired.

Please go by Primo's once a month for me. And occasionally make it a Wednesday for lunch. Remember those cheese enchiladas? Yummmm. I wanted those today. Sadly, I was not in Decatur and it was not Wednesday.
I might have to take a field trip. Bring your kids and meet me!
haha, another great post, amber.
man, i remember red ribbon week. i loved those little dress up days. you're going to be the coolest dressed teacher on jersey day for sure.
i continue to love that your kids are hippies/tree huggers. i hope this can be incorporated into their field day class name. does your school have field day? do they get to make up a class name?
thinking of you and hoping you're doing well.
I knew it wouldn't take you long to get back into it. If you start hanging out at Sonic too much (or Wal-Mart for that matter) or if you attend Wise Regional's annual Denim and Diamonds, then I may have to intervene.
We need to hang out ASAP.
