Title Unknown

Well, I made it through an entire week of being back at work with only a few bumps and bruises! Throughout the day, I think of lots of things to post in this blog, and then by the time I sit down by the computer, they are gone out of my head. So, this blog should be very random! First of all, congratulations to the Hazlewoods (Kate & Ben) on producing the next heir to the family. Does anyone else think that men must feel so masculine when they can "knock up" their wife? Have we discussed this, Chris Anne?
Now, for a quick soapbox rant and rave. Next week in the Hall County School system, the kids are taking the CRCT test, which 3rd and 5th graders must pass to go on to the next grade. This past week, everyone was going out of their ever-living minds over this test. Now, I shouldn't brag, but it is the truth--the school where I work usually has some of the highest scores in the county (out of 17 elementary schools)--so alot of times everyone fixates on the kids who won't pass (which is very few). Maybe it is because I am new to the school system, or maybe it is because I can keep my head on straight, but I understand that some kids can pass the test, but there are some kids, that no matter how well they are taught, and no matter how wonderful their teachers are (and all teachers are great, I think)--they are not going to pass a standardized test. It is no one's fault, it is just how it is. Don't lose any sleep over it! Geez! Okay, enough of that. I will close with a recipe for the easiest cookies I have ever made (and they are yummy, too!) Enjoy!

Easy Cookies
1 box of cake mix (any kind you choose--I used chocolate)
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 cup chocolate chips
chopped nuts (optional)

Mix all ingredients together, bake on 350 for 8-10 minutes (I had to bake them alot longer, because I put them on my Pampered Chef pans)--but they stay soft and yummy! Bon appetit!
