Prom is coming!!!!

...and I have a date that isn't my husband. Scandalous. So much better than high school, the second time around is. After several barely legal offers, I have settled on a group - Mr. M (the math teacher that looks like Jim from "the Office"), Mrs. B-K (the teacher who allegedly looks like me) and Ms. N (very cool Hebrew teacher). The kids think I am going with Mr. M because they don't know the others though, and he suggested for further effect we coordinate our outfits. I think he was serious, but I laughed at him. Then I tried to imagine finding a neon pink dress so he would wear a neon pink cumberbund. Jason's okay with all this, I just checked.

Coming soon, I'll let everyone vote for the dress I wear. I have a couple of options now, plus I'll have to shop Heather's closet. I also need yall to choose a bridesmaid gown for a wedding, several options there too.

So prom is May 5th and I am stoked. We are all going to be chaperones, but I am just looking for a good time. The girls are buying totally expensive gowns and I was shocked - some at $400 are more expensive than some wedding dresses! The kids are looking at party buses and limos and finding fancy restaurants to eat at and it is totally adorable. I love watching the boys try to get their courage together to ask a girl out, it is seriously like watching "The OC" 24/7.

Have I mentioned how much I am going to cry in May? As glad as I will be to quit working, I love so many of these kids and am going to cry at not seeing them everyday. I think I will stay in touch with a lot of them though. April's next big event is Senior Picnic where we take a field trip to some ranch and hang out all day in the hot Houston sun. I better get to go, most of the senior teachers get to. Fun times ahead!
