CPR

David and I went to a CPR training course put on free by a local hospital. Even though I am certified and "should" know everything, I learned a couple new things. I have taken multiple CPR/First Aid courses ever since I was 14 years old. Every time I get re-certified I learn something new. This time I learned that if you don't feel comfortable giving the rescue breaths (do to AIDS, HIV, HEP C) when performing CPR, then you should just do the compressions because that will keep the blood pumping to all the vital organs. If you haven't taken a CPR/First Aid class recently check out the classes offered by your community. You never know when a family member,friend,neighbor, or a co-worker will need CPR/First Aid! (I will get off my soapbox .... now!)

Albie's Deal!

I am learning the couponing ways from Marne and Tiff. Today I got a great deal on cereal. I went to Winco and bought 3 newspapers! I took all my coupons and my doubling coupons. I ended up with 12 boxes of cereal and I paid only $3.62 and I have a $5.00 coupon the next time I go to Albertsons. It was quit the ordeal the cashier that check me out was new and had lots of problems, so other cashiers were helping him. The cashiers were amazed at what a good deal I got, and that they had never seen such a great deal before! ...my last transaction was only $0.87.

Parent Teacher Conference

Wednesday and Thursday night from 5- 8 pm after school I had parent teacher conferences. It has a been a long two days of work and really nothing but work. It is tiring working 13 hour days, but it is so worth it. After parent teacher conferences I feel rejuvenated and more determined to be a good teacher. I love visiting with the parents, I feel that afterward I can understand that individual student better. So... even if you child is a straight A student you should still go to parent teacher conferences for two reasons: 1. Even if your child has a good grades it doesn't = good behavior! 2. It re-motivates the teachers to do a good job!
