Shoes

Today, when the students went home I got the biggest and longest hugs from one of my boys. I know it was a big thank you from him.
He was in great new of shoes. When he played ball at recess his shoes were always falling off and he had very holy socks. The mom just got her kids backs few months ago and I have heard she's having a hard time. Over the weekend my mom went to get some new shoes. I wasn't planning on getting name brand because I didn't want to spend more than 20 bucks. Mom got an awesome deal some cool looking DC shoes for 10 bucks!
It was nice to do something for someone else. Plus I buy myself things I truly do not need.

Stop on Red?

I grew up in a big city right by Phoenix. It's all I knew and it seemed normal. I teach in a rural area. The town the school is in does not even have a traffic light...

New Book

I bought a new book that caught my eye the other day Flat Belly Diet. It says not a single crunch is required. I'll have to see about that. Actually crunchies are not that bad. Except when ur trainer makes u do 400.
Not ready for a diet but I'm also not ready to buy different size clothes so something has gotta give and soon!

Middle Ground

Before I became a teacher I didn't like my job and loved my social life.
Now that I'm a teacher I love my job and have a tiny social life.

Where is the happy middle?

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I have never had a mouth dropping Valentine's Day. In years past if I got flowers from a boy then it ranked to be a good day. One day I'd liked to be swept off my feet. Something out of the movies. I know, I know, it's Hollywood. BUT, it would still be very incredible to just have someone amazing once go all out on that special day. Although maybe all it takes is having the right man in your life to make the day extra special.

While I didn't have any romantic Valentine's this year. Mine was very endearing. I had 19 very sweet 6 and 7 year olds who gave me so many gifts - boxes of chocolates, a single cake, stuffed animal, cards and hugs galore. They made it a very special day. One of the fringe benefits of being a teacher.

I need a...

Tonight I was very tempted (still am) to post an add for a roommate.


Rent upstairs in house for free rent and all utilites included for keeping the house clean, general matience, landscaping, taking care of the dogs while I'm at work, and a few cooked meals.



With things being as busy ss they r it would help make life pretty close to perfect! Come home and everything is done so I don't have to do a thing.

Special Day

Today my sister turned 24! Happy Birthday!!! She moved up to Seattle when she got married last year.

Her wedding was one of the best weekends of my life. It was an amazing wedding and so much fun. I still need to blog about it.

Since I could not be up there to celebrate her birthday. I sent her Edible Arrangements. Here r some pictures she sent.












Sorry she sent them that direction and I haven't figured out how to rotate them on my iPhone. I probably just need to download an app.
But, if u turn your head don't they look yummy?
