have a contest that gets everybody worked up then abandon the blog?!

well it's like this people. having 2 4-year olds and a newborn and a job and a husband and a house and laundry and having to get everything done and get everywhere on time and feed the people living here is kicking my butt. the first week of teaching is draining all my energy. i forgot how much juice it takes to keep the energy level up all day. the night before last all three kids were up at various times then as soon as i got to sleep BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! alarm clock.

on top of all that, last year we got a new textbook and i wrote lesson plans for every day of the year. then my computer died and they don't think they're going to be able to get the documents off of it. so do you know what that means? yep, re-write and re-plan everything. it's a major bummer and time consumer. hours and hours of work flushed down the potty.

so please help me! if you are reading this and you entered the contest, leave a comment and tell me how many entries you have based on the rules of the contest, and i will trust you. then i will go back and check the people who entered and did not comment here to add those up. unless you want to do that for me too. just kidding. no not really.

if someone has time on their hands and wants to do that i will give them a bunch of paper too and some cool stickers and embellishments for helping. just let me know!

ok my planning period is just about over and the troops will be attacking. adios!
