lists with stars -- I seem to always do that...
★ So, I had been worriedly anticipating an evaluation conference with one of my administrators. They're both so lovely, but everyone's been completely stressed out at school recently that I think I had in my head that she was going to sit there and just babble at me about everything I'm not doing as a teacher, and all of the reasons that I suck.
See, and then were I to actually take a moment and think, I'd realize that that would probably not be the case and I should chill the f*ck out.
And then we actually had the conference tonight. We talked about all sorts of things related to my planning and record keeping and my observations of the children and we talked and laughed and as she was asking questions, I suddenly got two new ideas of things I want to try soon. Also, I convinced her to come teach a guided reading lesson with one of my reading groups and she was ridiculously excited to come do it (next week! Tuesday!)
note to kaalee: get over yourself. Educators who like talking about teaching/planning will most likely enjoy talking with you because you fucking enjoy teaching so much.
★ In other news, thank you for the lovely comments and kudos on my monster fic [Disguise]. Various lovely comments have been trickling in slowly since Thursday and it's really been wonderful to realize that all of that work actually built a story that others could get something out of as well. ♥
★ Our home renovation stuff is going along well. Our house is still in some MAJOR chaos right now, but they're making progress every day and it's exciting to think that by early next week we can start moving stuff back downstairs and then start thinking about the nursery.
★ I have so much more to say, but I can't remember any of it at the moment, so I will say this: YOU ALL ARE LOVELY! DON'T FORGET THAT!!! *hugs you tight*
