Taking on Alaska: Round Two!

Well, I am sure some of you assume I have died…or at least given up on blogging. WRONG! I have been so busy since coming back from Christmas Break. Wait. Rewind. Christmas Break, ahhh yes, home sweet home. Where I ate all my favorite foods, visited all of my favorite people and got to relax. Now. Back to reality where I have a job to do. We are all under pressure because state testing for our kiddos is only 8 weeks away. Final formal observations have taken place and recommendations have been made to the district office for contract offers. Our principal will be returning on Monday after her second week the month of being out of the village for trainings, this meaning I have been filling in. When she is gone I have a whole new outlook on the school, she is an amazing person. Being “principal” is a large job to take on, and boy oh boy is it exhausting. I also have slowed down on the blogging due to the fact that our internet has been very temperamental since returning from Christmas. It sometimes works and sometimes does not work. We have gotten some snow, not nearly as much as this time last year, but its snow. I have totes of melted snow (water) for when we run out of water, whenever that may be. I have been sick the last week with some stomach issues, thinking its from the water, after process of elimination anyways. I feel like this blog was me just rambling, so I think I will sign off for now…as always, thank you for the continued thoughts and prayers, it keeps me going when its dark and cold! Stats: Daylight: around 4 hours a day Temp Lately: -8 (without windchill) Days until School is out: 109
