Don't You Just Love Mondays?


Hi everyone!
This is my first time writing on a blog, though I have enjoyed reading many hilarious postings from Livi's blog! Thanks Aunt Debbie for setting this up!
I hope everyone is doing well, and I miss you guys! School is back in full force and today has been a long day...but after changing my kids' seating arrangement for the second time in 3 weeks, I am hoping for a less talkative day tomorrow in class! I have quite a different group from last year, they completely wear me out! I have never had a group that will continue talking to their friend even when I am looking right at them! Guess there is a first time for everything. I have had to lay down the law more than a few times. Brian says that I must be a mean teacher since all the stories I have told him recently are about disciplining the kids.:-) I think someone told me once not to smile and play around with the kids until after Christmas-I might have to actually do that this year to make sure the kids know how to behave:-)ha ha
Oh, and I am still getting used to my new last name..."Mrs. Jalbert"! Something I don't always respond to...I usually think Brian's mom is nearby:-) I do still respond to Miss Cullather, but I have more frequently called myself Mrs. Cu-Jalbert. Word on the street is that some of the kids call me Mrs. Jabber and Mrs. Jullather....it's okay, I suppose there could be worse names:-) I tell everyone I am having an identity crisis....it's true, I had hoped for a shorter last name, and now that I have one, I'm not sure I like it as much-ha ha! I am still trying to implement the French way of saying Jalbert-Mrs. "Jahl-bear". I think it has a little better ring to it! :-)
Anyway, hope everyone is well!
Love you guys!
Lynn:-)

Welcome Lynnie! I am so thrilled to have you in our blog. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I have. Want to hear lots of newlywed stories and tales of elementary school! Love you too.

Great picture Lynnie and Brian!

On your next trip to Roanoke, you need to stop by Grandma's house and have her teach you the evil eye!

Hope to see you soon:)

Hi Pencil!!

Great picture and cute entry! This will be so helpful in keeping us updated on everything since your available hours differ from mine somewhat. How's Brian?? How's the managerie (of animals)?

And Pacie- you are HILARIOUS! Cute comment!

Thanks to everyone for their nice responses and advice:-) I am working to perfect the "evil eye".
Love you all!
