Back to School

I am back to school. With no kids actually attending at this time and I feel like I have been hit by a Mack truck. We have a new principal and our school is so over crowded that bathrooms may soon be classrooms to make room. All in all it's good and our emphasis is to be exemplary. I will do my best in my classroom and teach my hardest...even if that means I don't always look like the rest of my team. I am exhausted and my mind is always going a 100mph and there just doesn't seem to be enough time to get it all done. God says that is mercy is new every morning. Praise Jesus he gave me enough for today and will again tomorrow. Oh, and it's Meet the Teacher Night. Always a nervous occasion!

Happy Birthday

It is a bit late but I had a super birthday! I think this one tops most of them. It all began on the morning on the 16th when I had to do a scavenger hunt in the house to find my presents. I ended up with 3 gift cards to go shopping, get my hair done, and get some new make up. But that wasn't all. I also got to go out on Friday and get my hair done, go shopping, and enjoy the day...by myself! Brian took the day off to spend with Abbie and I got a few hours to enjoy. It was a great birthday with great new clothes and super sassy haircut that I love. Thank you to my sweet husband for noticing me and honoring me and to my wonderful parents who chipped in to make my day of luxury a possibility. It was amazing. :)

Free Coffee

If you are not in a rush to brew some coffee this morning, check out Folger's link to get a free sample of their new coffee. 4-6 six weeks so you might want to wait to put the water in. It could be yucky by then. :) I have chosen the Vanilla Biscotti for kicks. Can't wait to try it.

Harry Potter

Are you a Harry Potter fan? Now, some say we shouldn't read these books because they teach us about witchcraft and wizardry and how to do spells and such. As my friend jokingly put it, They are of the devil. My response: have you actually read them your self? Probably not. I have found these books to be one the best written series ever. I have read all the books including book 7 which I just set down...finally! Over the past week to week and and a half I have devoured book 5, 6, and 7. I highly recommend these books. Even to children. I get to so wrapped up and my brain creates these wonderful settings where all these stories take place and I become to engrossed into this world I have created. The imagery and elaboration that J.K. Rowling uses is just amazing and vivid descriptions don't leave you guessing. I am a bit sad now that I am done because the life of Harry has ended...is that figuratively or literally? Guess you'll have to read to find out!
