Love my Girls!

Even more thankful than usual to have great girlfriends!
Katherine's Engagement Party in August (4 months)

Clemson vs GaTech Game (6 months)


In other news...My door won for the 7th grade! WooHoo! And for the record, it reads "Too Proud to do Drugs" and I had the kids each write what they are proud of on a feather.
Also, I'm SO excited because I am starting a 6 week reading unit on Hunger Games next week! My teacher is letting me design the whole unit and this is a book that I LOVE, so I'm really excited about teaching it. If you haven't read it, you should.

I am officially a teacher...Why? Because I get excited about things like decorating our door for Red Ribbon Week...

23 Weeks

Baby Wilson officially has a name: Shuler Lane Wilson
Shuler is Jason's mother's maiden name
Lane is my Aunt Jean & Uncle Ed's last name
Three wonderful family legacies...

I went to the doctor today and everything looks good. Shuler was very active during the ultrasound which was really fun for me to watch. Things have been really hectic for me and are not going to slow down anytime soon, but I love teaching and each day brings us a little closer to meeting our baby boy!

Amusement

Most of you probably know that I am very easily amused, but I thought I would share some of the things that amused me this week with you:
************************************************
My students were instructed to copy a question off of the board. The question read: "Can you diagram a sentence?" When the teacher came around to check that they had written all that they were asked to, she found that one of her students had written this sentence (and had no idea that it wasn't correct): "Can you diaphram a sentence?"
*************************************************
2 students were discussing the rule against PDA's at school (this stands for Public Display of Affection). The conversation went like this (again neither student realized at any point that they were saying it wrong):
Student 1: "They don't allow PDA in school"
Student 2: "What's a PDA?"
Student 1: "It means Public Display of Erection"
*************************************************
A fellow student teacher at my school was waiting for his class to settle so that he could begin teaching. One of his more jovial students struck up a conversation with him and it went something like this:
Student: "Mr. Williams, are we going to be doing math today?"
Teacher (sarcastically with a laugh): "No, Cooper, we're going to be making pot holders."
Student: "You mean we're going to be making blunts?!"
Teacher: "Huh?"
Student: "Blunts, like that you roll up to hold pot"

Where do they come up with this stuff??

*************************************************
Ok this last one is about a dream I had and just amused me enough to share it. So you've probably heard that pregnant women have crazy dreams and I am definitely no exception. This one seemed to be my subconcious not-so-subtly reminding me my life has changed.
So, in the dream I'm in a scene I may have easily found myself in a few years ago: I'm at a party with my friends and we're sitting at a table playing quarters (as in the game where you try to bounce quarters into a glass and the loser has to take a shot). Now I'm losing miserably (which never would have happened in real life) and I notice I'm starting to feel a little sick. Well, that would make sense if I were taking a shot each time I lost, but I realize that I'm still pregnant, so that can't be it. So, I look down and see a little pile of large pink pills and realize that I've been taking a pre-natal vitamin instead of shots!
