A Picture a day for 365 days...a year's worth of fun!

Well...a full week of school is behind me, and I am feeling good about this year.
Starting to find my groove, at school at least.
The housework...well, that still leaves something to be desired. Gotta get my schedule under control abit better to get all things done, stop staying at school til 6pm or later....but it'll happen.
Overall, it was a good week, starting out still kinda sick, but ending up with my kids all being home.

SICK AS A DOG DAY
Yes..this was the day I was sick on the couch all day (when I wrote last week's post) I felt horrible.

SUCK IT UP AND GO TO SCHOOL DAY
I couldn't afford to miss a day so early in the year, so I headed to school. Just took things slow and easy.
I had recess duty tho...in the 100 degree heat, but I had to marvel at the mind of my autistic student. She wanted to take out my dustpan sweeper brushes so she could "dig for dinosaur bones". (She's crazy about dinos.) And that's exactly what she did..very slow, methodically, and meticulously.

LEAVE EVERYTHING AT SCHOOL AND SPEND TIME WITH THE FAMILY NIGHT
I did it..I made myself NOT bring any work home. I'd worked on things everynight til 8pm or later, and I realized that was not fair to my family. So I didn't. Tonight anyway.

HAIRCUT DAY
If there's anything I've learned as a parent, it's that when your teenage son asks you to take him to get a haircut, you JUMP ON IT because you may not get that chance again!




So..that was my week! Nothing terribly exciting. Long days, short nights. But a good happy week!


I am participating in the 2010 Mommytography 365 Project!
For this year long project I will be posting an image a day.
I am hoping this will...

• help me find new things around me to focus my attention on
• share my world with my friends and family more

Anyone interested in photography can join, no need to be a Mommytographer.

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

Image
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...
