Life has been crazy lately! School is keeping my busy with my wonderful new little ones this year. They are such blessings in my life and continue to crack me up each day. It's amazing the things they pick up not only from me but from all of their surroundings!
Funny student story: One of my sweet little girls in my class wants to be a teacher. She tells her mom all the time that she wants to be like Miss Ulibarri. One day she said "Mom, theres another reason why I want to be a teacher." Her mom said "why?" She said "because you dont have to wear shoes in the classroom if you are a teacher." I ALWAYS take off my shoes in the room (especially if they are heels) and I always tell my kids that once they go to college then they can do that too! I guess she took that literally, haha. :)
On another note: My puppy Calvin died. :( I took him out to go the bathroom and he went to go sniff another dog. The dog (who I think is a Jack Russel) picked him up like a chew toy and moved him back and forth in his mouth. I had to pry open the jaw of the dog to get Calvin out. I took him right to the vet and they thought all they would have to do is clean out his wounds. Two hours later they called me back and the vet (who was a male) came into the room and was crying. I knew it had to be bad. Turns out the dog bit through Calvins chest cavity and so his lungs collapsed. :( Poor little puppy. Needless to say I was DEVASTATED. I had lot's of crying moments but was filled with a lot of love at school and from friends. My students all made me cards (because I was at a training the day after he died.) The love and support was amazing.
Over this weekend I got a new puppy....named Tucker. The above picture is my new puppy, Tucker. He is only 2.2 pounds and is a really big cuddler. He does whine which drives me crazy but we are working on it. I am happy to have some company at my house since I do live alone.
This week I am on fall break! Sadly, it's coming to an end soon. :( I have enjoyed time with my family and I am relaxing after I had foot surgery. Sadly I am still a big gimp and walk like I'm "special."
Anway, just thought I'd update!:)
