I SURVIVED!!!!!!

This morning was not an easy one for me. I had to take my baby to school this morning...to pre-k. I started wailing this morning while I was ironing her clothes. Then a little bit more when I dressed her. She started to cry because she didn't understand why I was crying. So, I shut it off. The last thing I wanted was for her to be scared. I was okay until we pulled up at the school. Her dad (my dear sweet hubby), who originally said that he couldn't take it, met us at the school. I was crying so hard that my lips were shaking and I was breathing crazy. You know that cry...the one where you just cannot control it, you try, but it doesn't work. I mean the crying was so bad that I knew I was looking ugly. That cry!!!!

Well, she was excited. As soon as we walked in we saw the principal, whom I have known for years. I introduced her to my hubby and reintroduced her to Tabry. Tabry very politely spoke to her principal and I think she (the principal) just melted in that instant. We made our way to her classroom and as soon as we walked through the door Tabry just took off mingling and playing. She was no longer concerned about me or Daddy, but about playing with the other kids and the toys. Both of us were wiping away tears. We did manage to get a family picture just before leaving. She really didn't want to take it. She just wanted to play.

and here she is showing off her lunch box...the Dora lunchbox that I promised I would get her.

There are plenty of others, but I'll stop right there.

Now, how about some pics of my classroom... I worked all day Saturday to get it ready for today. As a reading specialist, I share a room with the other reading specialist in our building. It's fun only having to decorate 1/2 a room. I just love her!!!! We used to teach second grade together, so it has been a blast working with her again.





This is where I go everyday. I bet even if I didn't say exactly what I did, I;m sure all of the books that you saw would have given it away.

One more thing...got some great finds from Dollar Tree today thanks to someone on the CKMB.

The best thing about it is that they were only a dollar. I've paid at least $2 more for them at the lss. So run to your nearest DT if you can!!!!

Call Me Crazy, but . . .

I just finished watching High School Musical 2 with my 4 year old and I loved it!!!! I think it is a really cute movie. There is no doubt in my mind that there will be a 3. I rented the first one earlier this week so that I could watch it before tonight and didn't get a chance to watch all of it. I'll watch it later. I think that High School Musical is the "Grease" of this generation. That's probably why I liked it so much b/c I am an absolute Grease fanatic!!!!

In other news...I am totally sore!!!!! I decided to join a kickball team. I thought it would be fun. We had our first practice on Wednesday evening and I am TOTALLY sore!!! As much as I work out, I didn't think that I would be this sore!!!! The first game is Sunday afternoon (in the heat of the day) and school starts Monday. Imagine how my head will look!!!!!

Lastly, my classroom still isn't ready for Monday morning. Needless to say, I have to spend my last Saturday before school starts at work. Yep, will be there in the morning.so I better go to bed. Have a great weekend!!!!

It is 2:00 in the morning . . .

I have to be at work in 6 hours. WHY AM I STILL AWAKE??????

I AM OFFICIALLY BACK AT WORK!!!!!

I went back to work yesterday. It really wasn't so bad. In fact, part of me is actually a bit happy to be going back. The one downside is that I have taken a nap the past two days and that's not good. I'm also happy that I wasn't able to watch all of Craft Day on QVC. I have managed to watch a bit of it and I am watching the finale as I type. The best news...It is 9:30 here and I have not ordered one thing!!!! Let's see if I can keep it up!!!!!

It Came, It came!!!!

I placed an order with Creativexpress since they are having a huge Sizzix sale and it came yesterday. I was up until 3:00 this a.m playing with some of the stuff. I know that everyone is now into Cricut, but I for one, am still a lover of the Sizzix machine. I bought a Big Shot back in April. I took it out of the package the other day, used it last night and I absolutely love it!!! No more having to slide the die as I cut like the big red machine. The Big Shot does it for me. Well, that's enough of my Big Shot commercial, have a nice Wednesday!!!!

SCHOOL SHOPPING. . .

We are going school shopping today. Excuse me as I am a bit misty, my baby is starting school...more later...
