a 3 day weekend


FINALLY!!!
I thought Labor Day weekend would NEVER get here.
We've already had 2 1/2 weeks of school. Usually it's 3 days of school before the holiday. No wonder I'm so drained!

I figured with 3 days off this weekend, I could allot 1 day to cleaning, 1 day to working at school all day, and 1 day to be my ALAP day. (as little as possible).
I was gonna let today be the ALAP day...but I got up with the laundry bug up my ass and started laundry, both washing and hanging up/putting away the mountain that has been piling up in the "clean" pile.

BUT...I promised myself not to do TOO much today. I rented some movies last night and plan to watch them all.
Last night Greg had to go back into work at 9:30 to start editing the football game videos as they came in so he could get the HOPE game on the air at midnight for the people in our community who didn't go, or just wanted to watch it again. They've come to expect that!

Molly and I came home and made popcorn and watched movies.
I watched "I Love You Man"

and she watched one of the Mary Kate and Ashley teen movies she rented.
(Say what you want about them --and I do, b/c I don't think they can act worth a lick-- but their kid movies are clean and appropriate for my kids and tweens to watch.)
"I Love You Man" was not appropriate for her...TONS of profanity and talk of masterbation and stuff..not things she needs to hear, so I was glad she had her own movie to watch.

Today I'm going to watch "Sunshine Cleaners" and "Duplicity".


As I've said before..I'm so thankful for our little movie store here where new releases are only $1.25. We can raid the spare change can for those prices!

In other news...

ummm...*thinks.....there's got to be some other news...

nope, nada.
nothing other than John is taking the boys Squirrel Hunting today.
Matt was excited to be going.

I guess that's all I got for now.

So..it's a new year. And I haven't posted here since..umm..May. I have been thinking of deleting this blog..or at least all the entries in it, and starting over. Maybe a school blog. I see tons of cute ones everyday when I'm perusing pinterest. I could do that. maybe. no...probably not. But I might try. This place did not turn out the way I wanted it to. I have my personal "diary" blogs/journals elsewhere. This one is too public for that anymore. I should make it something fun. I don't want to lose it. Erica made it so cute for me. I don't even know how to do that... or, for that matter, delete the entries I have here. I can't find the "dashboard" button that use to be there. hmmmm.. This may take more time than I thought.

Alphabee Thursday: E is for Expectations

Image
Today is Alphabee-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter E. is for yep...that's right. Expectations Such a big word. Dictionary.com defines it as Something expected. hmmm....kinda vague, so I looked up "EXPECT": 1.to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of 2. to look for with reason or justification: There are certain things I just expect in life: * I expect the light to come on when I flip the switch. * I expect the microwave to pop my popcorn perfectly in about 3 minutes. * I expect whatever I'm plugging into the electrical socket to work when I turn it on. * I expect to be given correct change when paying for a purchase. I also have expectations of people in my life. *I expect people to do what they say they will do *I expect my children to do what I ask of them, when I ask it *I expect kindness instead of rudeness in public *I expect honesty from others. *I expect my dog to jump all over me as...

C is for Crayon

Today is Alphabe-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter C...so let's get right down to it. is for ahhh...the simplicity of crayons! An essential tool in my profession, and yet such a vital part of our lives. Crayons have the ability to color our world. They add life to simple drawings, brighten up the darkest of pictures, and create rainbows on rainy days. After completing a writing assignment my students will often ask...."Do we have to draw a picture?" "Of course you do!! And use your crayons!" I will reply. And then the real feelings of their topic show through. Without color, how dull our lives would be. No yellow sunshiny days. No pink cotton candy. No blue skies and green grass. Lollipops would be tasteless and lemonade would be just water. The fashion industry would go bust and movies would not be worth seeing. Crayons add life. They add spirit. And they make me smile. Even tho a wee little piece of one was the bane of my world on M...
