Silly Man!

After Parker's party we wanted to play with all of his new toys. He insisted on wearing his new hat while he played....It is just too cute not to post:)

Parker's 1st Birthday!!!

Wow!!! I can't believe it has been a year since Parker was born. He celebrated his birthday a week ago with lots of family and friends. He was the hit and had a blast entertaining all of his guests. Posted are some pics from his fun day!

Work Stress...

So this past year work has been very stressful. Our school district had to cut nine days due to mismanagement of funds, so that meant nine days of no pay for everyone. On top of that now the state is cutting funds for the next years budget. So every districts budget for the next year is up in the air with lots of not knowing. To top everything off I am working with a particular teaching who is completely incapable of doing her job. She constantly has fights break out in her room, has students cussing her out, sends students to other teachers rooms (almost daily) and just recently cussed her class out by using the F*** bomb and when confronted by the administration about it, said she was glad she did. WTF!!!! People like this drive me crazy in this profession, I take my job very seriously and set high expectations for my students and when other teachers do this it makes the rest of us look like fools. Teachers like this are the ones that give this profession a bad name and I am so sick of it. People need to know that this job is not for everyone and if you can't figure it out in six years time to pack the bags and move on. Just be glad your child is not in this class, I know I would never allow Parker to be in a class like this. Heaven knows what kind of learning is happening. I would like to say that there is only a few bad seeds such as this teacher in my building and I am so thankful for all of the other teachers I work who do a fantastic job! Kudos to you:)

PS...If your a parent please be sure to get involved in your child's education. Because of you teachers like this would definitely not be around. Let your voice be heard and take action against the bad seeds out there who are educating your children and let the good ones know how much you appreciate them.

It's been way to long....

I can't believe that my last post was in January. I guess time flies when you are busy. February was a busy month for the Coon household. We celebrated Valentines day with our usual Papa Murphy's heart shape pizza and St. Cupcakes. Then three days later we celebrated Dennis's Birthday. Ten days from that we celebrated Parker's first birthday. Wow! February has turned into a busy month.
Other than that we have all been in good health and trying to get out whenever the weather cooperates.
