Happy 100th Day!

I survived the 100th day of school! It was a very fun and tiring day. A few years ago we all ordered T-shirts from Really Good Stuff that say "My students are 100 days smarter!" and most of us remembered to wear them today. LOL! I always love the reaction from the kids when they realize that we're wearing the same shirts. They never seem to figure out that we planned it that way and we never tell them. I always claim that everyone else just copied me. LOL!

I took lots of pictures today and will share them as soon as I have a chance to do something with them.

I was kind of sad this morning because we only had 98 postcards. I know that's a pretty good number and even if we didn't get 100 we had lots of fun, learned about new places and made some new friends. BUT, then the mail came and brought postcards 99, 100 and 101! The cards that put us over the top were from Utah, Los Angeles and the Spam Museum in Minnesota. We were so excited!

I know that there are more postcards on the way from the messages I've received and we're still excited about receiving them. If we get 77 more cards that will average out to be one postcard for every day of school this year. LOL!

I wanted to share another layout I made with Deanna's portion of the Chocolate Cherry Blog Train. Did you visit all the blogs and pick up the goodies? The designers did an amazing job and were so nice to give us everything they made!



Deanna will be giving away another kit on her blog on February 12th called Music and you are going to love it!

This is another layout I made with Shel's 100 Days of School Kit...


You'll be seeing more of this kit as I scrap today's pictures!

Right now, you can go to Pretty Scrappy and for just $10 pick up a huge charity collab kit that Shel participated in. The money raised from the sell of the kit will go to help people diagnosed with ectodermal dysplasias.

Now I am exhausted so I'm going to bed. Enjoy your day!

Hard it get up today!

Oh man, was it hard getting up for work this morning. Did your team win the Superbowl? I didn't have a favorite team but I do have to admit that I was hoping the Cardinals would win. Gotta pull for the underdog.

Did you like the commercials? There was only one that really had me laughing. Of course, when today's conversation turned to the commercials at school no one else could even remember the one I liked best. LOL! Here it is for you to see...

The 100th day of school is finally here! Here's a picture of the candy bars and water bottles I made using Shel Belle's 100 Days of School Kit




The candy bars are for the teachers and the water bottles are for the kids.

Now, I am so tired I can think straight so I better get some sleep. Enjoy your day!

Almost February

Is anyone else as shocked as I am that January is already coming to an end? This month flew by so quickly.

We had such beautiful days this week but now that the weekend is here it's getting cold and yucky again. That just isn't fair! Why can't we have the pretty days when we aren't stuck at work so that we can enjoy them more?

Today we received beautiful postcards from the Poconos, Utah and the Grand Canyon. The kids have all agreed that they would love to see real mountains someday.

It's been a really long day so I'm going to bed now. Enjoy your day!

Fast post

I am really sleepy tonight so I'm just making a fast post to give you today's wordart. I know it's kind of mean, but that's the mood I'm in tonight. It's also kind of funny and I'm sort of in that kind of mood too. LOL!

Time for bed. Enjoy your day!

Everyone's fighting!

My friend got a phone call from her daughter today saying that her high school was on lockdown, but other than the rumors that were flying around she didn't know what was going on. During lunch, we turned on the 12 o'clock news to see if they would report anything. Sure enough, the opening story was about the fight that started in their cafeteria between two students and grew in number and size. By the time it was all over, the fight had spilled out of the building and 18 students were arrested. Luckily, Chrissy wasn't anywhere near the cafeteria when the fight started. She was locked safely away in the auditorium where she was playing Peter Pan in the school play.

I got home from work today and went to visit with my neighbors only to learn that they were fighting. Want to know what they're fighting about? Too bad, I'm going to tell you anyway---they are actually fighting about---Hershey Kisses! Apparently, she bought a bag with almonds and he only likes the regular kisses. She jokingly told him that she bought it on purpose so that she could have them all to herself and it went downhill from there. Apparently, he was having a really bad day! I told them that they had to stop the madness because I couldn't stand it when mommy and daddy fight. LOL! Luckily, the Hershey Kisses were on sell - buy one, get one - and she was able to calm him down when he saw that he had his very own bag of plain Hershey Kisses.

We hooked up with some of our other friends and the talk turned to Sunday's Superbowl. I'm not a fan of either team in the Superbowl so I'm more interested in the party we'll be having then the game. LOL! The guys disagreed on the best way to grill ribs. Man, do these guys take their rib grilling seriously! The discussion got so loud that we had people who were sitting near us giving us their grilling tips. Luckily, one of those people sitting near us sent over shots for the guys and that made them forget about the grilling.

I would like to think that I can get through tomorrow without anyone fighting, but that probably won't happen. You see, I took a certain someone's shoes and left a ransom note in their place. If he ever wants to see those orange crocs again, he'll pay up! LOL!

Time for me to get some sleep, Enjoy your day!
