Where are all the girls??

SO this school year has been HARD. I have a extra small class this year..seven boys. I have no girls in my class. What a difference that makes! This is my sixth year teaching and I have always had cute girls in my class that write me little notes and come in and give me hugs. It's not like that this year at all. These boys are SO naughty. The feeling in my classroom is so negative. They are all black little clouds it seems like. I go in all chipper and cheery and happy and I get nothing back but bad attitude and negativity. It's been so challenging to teach these boys that are so detached from most people and certainly not attached to me in the slightest. I guess this is a vent session, but I don't feel any love when I am at school. I miss having girls in my class. It makes a HUGE difference. Also these boys are all hooked on violent video games, and I seriously thing this affect their well being. Please all you parents out there make sure you cool it with the video games and the violence is not good for your children. Believe me I know, and it truely does affect them in a negative way.
ANYWAY..the house thing is trucking along...........it's now just waiting on the puzzle peices to fit.
I will keep you all updated!!

AH...and offer has been made

So we put an offer in on a house and it was accepted. NOW the fun part begins of getting all our ducks in row...HOLY time consuming. This buyin a house business is not fun..I PROMISE you that. Every night seems to get sucked up with meeting with a realtor signing papers, getting papers together, reading papers.

If all goes as planned we will be living in a beautiful house sooner then later. I can't get to excited because there are still detail to be worked out, BUT...I will post pictures of the beautiful house..AFTER we sign the papers..ha ha!!

House Hunting.....

So like I mentioned two or three posts ago my husband and I were moving into a house. We are renting it. The house has been great. So...we decided to buy a house! We were going to think about that in two years, BUT we decided that now would be a good time for us to buy. Everything just kind of fell into place, and we got out pre-approval, and then we got a realtor, and we have been looking at houses. It all kind of just snow balled! We are really excited about this important step in our lives. We set a price range, but unfortunately all the houses we are loving are at the top of our price range, but still affordable for us. We don't want a mortage we are going to kill ourselves every month to make. We can still find an amazing house for not much more then we are renting. Last night looking at houses with our realtor proved successful and we found two houses we LOVE, and are going to put offers in on them tonight. When we actually get a house I will post pictures and all that, but I dont want to get my hopes up about any particular house. The first one we saw is seriously my dream home and everything I have ever wanted...BUT...it doesn't mean we will get it. Nick and I figured that we will get in the house we are ment to be in..right?
Anyway...wish me luck in this already crazy process...!
