What a Saturday!

Today I was in an all day training related to our science instruction - it was worth the time to go although it's hard to look at our test scores - but then when you look at previous test questions, it's amazing that any kids pass - as an adult I found some of it quite challenging....at least we're learning some strategies to help them prep for it - it's not teaching to the test, but teaching our material in a way that they start seeing the language and format of the test......

Then I get home, go the get mail, hop online and Missy starts acting funny. She's backing up into the corner under my computer desk, and whining like crazy. At first I thought she wanted attention, but she did it to Jeff too......over and over, and would not sit or lie down and would not let me near her tush, but yet would push it up against us. So down to the vet clinic that's open for emergencies - a long wait later and we learn her anal glands were impacted - it's a messy, uncomfortable fix (poor sweet thing) but she's much better now.....we just have to watch it!

On a positive note, here's my last digital page I did about spring - I used a template from Jen Caputo and made my own background paper with a butterfly brush - think it was Cottage Arts.
