WAFFLE HOUSE AFTER CHURCH
The past couple of weeks, Molly and I have gone to the "Awful Waffle" for omelettes after church. I saw this sign posted there, and loved it!

MAIL FROM MY CALIFORNIA GIRL
My sister's grandbaby sent me a thank you note she "made" for the Christmas gifts I'd sent her. She is 18 months old.

HOMEWORK FOR TEACHERS
one of the nightly rituals...cutting out things I've laminated at school.

I found these Eric Carle bulletin board sets that go with some of his books and am gonna use them in centers (sequencing the story, matching time to events) and in Writing (describing the animals, using new verbs for their actions).

LAPDOG
It's been so cold outside (temps in the teens) that we've been letting Bella, our lab, inside at night to sleep.
Now she thinks she belongs inside...up in our laps!

UNEXPECTED SNOW DAY
when they forecasted a possible chance of snow, but with no accumulation....they got it wrong.
We woke up to this...and school was cancelled...AGAIN! (ugh)


But we didn't let that stop us...we pushed our way through the snow to get done what we needed to get done!

QUICK TRIP DAY
Molly was really bummed that her dad couldn't come get her AGAIN due to weather conditions on Friday. But once we realized that the temps for Saturday would be in the 40s and the roads were clear, we loaded up and I took her to his house (80 miles away).
ON the way home, I popped in a cd and sang along with one of my alltime fave singers.

(actually, I'm trying to decide which song I want to sing in church in a couple weeks. I was asked to do a special again, and need to find one to do.)
I think that was a mistake..b/c not only could I not sing half the notes (which shoulda been my cue to stop singing...now I can barely talk today.
Oh well...surely my voice will heal soon.

So that, my friends, was my week.
This upcoming one should be interesting.
Our school is being audited (Scholastic Audit) where they come in and go through paperwork and interview every teacher, select students and parents, observe in classrooms....all.week.long.
Nerve wracking to say the least.
Plus meetings and such after school EVERYDAY and a quick trip to the boys' school on Thursday for conferences...
my head will be spinning I'm sure.

But I hope YOU have a nice relaxing week!!

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...
