It's Monday

I put together today's wordart back when we were picketing the school board for breaking our contracts. I didn't get my promised raise so the layouts made. LOL!

Today I did something that I haven't done in a loooooong time! I ironed. YUCK! Don't ask me why I thought I needed to iron my clothes before folding them up to put in a suitcase cause I don't have an answer for you. LOL!

Hey, I also cooked today. Well, I kind of cooked...it was frozen chicken that I heated up in the oven. But, I steamed the broccoli all by myself. LOL! If you had any idea just how bad I am at cooking you would know what a big deal that is!

I was going to go out for a walk, but it started raining so I took a nap instead. They said on one of the news breaks that we have a cold front coming. I hope it just brings rain and not cold weather. I can't take any more cold weather! The kids at school all still have colds and I am ready to start wearing a face mask. LOL!

April has put a cute little kit in her store called Sleepytime Lambs. Here's a preview of the kit...


And here's a layout I made...


If you go check out April's Blog, you'll find a QP that she gave away as a freebie using this kit. She's also giving away a QP that was made with her Fishing With Dad Kit. Make sure you read the post about her husbands fishing trip!



OK, it's time for me to get some sleep. Enjoy your day!

Did you celebrate Earth Hour?

So, did you go dark for one hour? My friends and I turned everything off and sat out by the water. There are solar lights there so we weren't completely in the dark. We watched across the bay as the lights went out in Miami. Of course, there were still some lights on but many got turned off. It was actually a fun way to spend the evening! Maybe we should do this more than once a year!

I didn't accomplish a whole lot today. LOL! I got some laundry done, ran a couple of errands and napped. Oh, and I dug out the passport and threw some more clothes in the suitcase. I'm really wanting Friday to hurry up and get here! Can you tell?

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

Happy Saturday

YIPPEE! It's Saturday! I've got some things to pick up today for my trip. The suitcase is open and things have been thrown inside. Since the highs in London have been in the 50's lately, I've got no problem packing. Won't be needing the short sleeves and flip flops I'm wearing now. LOL!

You know this was a really long week. We had two different teachers leave school in an ambulance. One on Wednesday and one on Thursday. I'm telling you, we're all dropping like flies and it's no fun!

My friends and I were sitting around comparing war wounds the other day. I'm still not strong and have a hard time catching my breath, Betty fell at school and hurt her back while I was in the hospital and Susan has something wrong with her foot and needs to see the doctor about it. All of a sudden, Judi yelled OMG! She said that she had just had a flash of all of us sharing an old age condo and that it wasn't a pretty sight. LOL! We've been calling ourselves the Golden Girls ever since. LOL! The sad part is that none of us are old enough to live in an old age condo and we're already falling apart.

Don't forget to go dark tonight for Earth Hour!

Sorry for the quick post, but it's been a long day and an even longer week. I'm off to bed now. Enjoy your day!

It's finally Friday!

Oh, I'm so happy that it's Friday! It's a teacher workday and payday too! LOL!

I'm getting so excited about London. I'm leaving in one week! Tonight I pulled the suitcase out of the closet so that I could start throwing stuff in it this weekend. If you could see the way I pack you would know that I mean literally---THROW stuff in it. LOL!

Thank goodness for insurance! Today I received a detailed bill for my hospital stay. Remember, it's just the hospital and not the individual doctor bills and other things that I'll get charged for. This bill was for 64 thousand dollars. OUCH! I just don't know how people without insurance do it. Luckily, I'll just have to meet the deductible.

I made a quick layout using papers from April's New Home Kit. Aren't these papers just the best?



Here's a preview of the full kit that available at ScrapitSassy



If you would like to pick up an adorable mini kit go visit Shel Belle Scraps! Here's a preview of the kit she posted on her blog Wednesday. The colors are awesome!



It's bedtime for me. Enjoy your day!

Oh man, am I tired!

I just can't wait to feel like I'm back at 100% again. Right now, it feels like I take two steps forward and one step backward. Of course, being a kindergarten teacher doesn't really help very much. Lots of the kids are still fighting colds themselves.

I took a little more time to play today after my nap. LOL! Here's another layout I made using April's Fishing With Dad Kit. I'm having fun playing with these graphics! They're great for getting your creative spark back.



Thursday is the last day of school with kids for the week. Friday is a teacher workday. I'm excited about Friday! LOL! I'm still playing catch up at school and need the time in my classroom.

I'm still undecided if I'll be sleeping through this weekend like I did the last one. Right now, there is a forcast for lots and lots of sleep. Speaking of which, I'm off to bed now. Enjoy your day!

A request

I feel really bad about just getting this WA request out. I received it before I went into the hospital and just never got to it. So, Lauren, I am really, really sorry and I hope that you can still use it for your project.

The last two days have been really stressful for me. There's just so much going on and I'm still not back to 100%. Tonight I even had a nose bleed. What's that all about?

The good news is that I am going to London in only 9 days!!! I am so excited! Now I just have to get packed, survived the next 9 days and get there.

I treated myself to a massage today. It was very relaxing and I needed it. LOL! Wish I could treat myself like that more often. Sometimes, it's good to pamper yourself!

I decided to let some things sit and play around with April's Fishing With Dad Kit. Here's a quick layout I made...



I just love April's kits!

I've also got one more layout using Flower Scraps portion of the Fairy Tale Blog Train to show you...



If you haven't jumped on this blog train yet, make sure you visit Deanna at Flower Scraps to pick up all the wonderful and free goodies!

It feels so good to play around with the kits again! I'm sure that's part of what is making me feel better. Now, if I could just play at work so that things wouldn't be so stressful there. LOL!

I'm going to sleep now. Enjoy your day.

You just gotta laugh!

So, just in case there was any question---it's official---I have the worse haircut ever! LOL! The same girls that were throwing me a welcome back breakfast just four days ago were pointing and laughing today. I just love my friends. LOL!

The good news is that I only napped for about an hour when I got home today. I'm getting stronger everyday cause I have napped longer than that when I wasn't sick. LOL!

Did you remember to visit Flower Scraps today for the the beginning of the Fairy Tale Blog Train? I visited all of the blogs and picked everything up. There are some really cute things available! Lots of the designers are releasing things in parts so you'll want to visit them more than once.

Here's another layout I made using Flower Scraps portion of the blog train...



OK, I've got to go to bed now. Enjoy your day!
