omg!

i am cracking up! i have no clue what i did to this blog, but look at the text on my last post!! that is crazy! i wish i new more about computers so that i could fix that. i would try, but i would be afraid i would delete it and i don't really feel like re-doing it all! man, i suck at computers!!!

june 15th: 2 big days rolled into one!

so, everybody knows it's father's day, but what you may not know, it that i have THE BEST DAD IN THE WORLD! seriously. no lies here. my dad is the reason i have not and never will be a guest on the jerry springer show. he is the reason i am the strong willed, independent chick i am today. he rocks. he is the one person in the world that i KNOW i can count on no matter what. if i had a body to hide, my dad would be the one who could save me. not that i'd ever have that problem! :)


now, the other reason june 15th is a big day is because it's my 12th wedding anniversary. oh yeah! who could have know that the guy i met my senior year in college at the bar, while he was working as a cop, would be my baby daddy and sweet thing for life!?!?!

kit of the month club: all the cool kids are doing it.

soooo, this month unity stamps is launching the kit club http://www.unitystampco.com/kit_club. each month, a new set of super cool stamps will be offered at an affordable price. here's the kicker...once the month is over, they are NO LONGER AVAILABLE! they will be retired! so unless, you are a thief and plan on stealing them from a friend...you have better get some NOW!!!

no more pencils, no more books!

life has been crazy busy. aside from megan's softball and travel soccer, my soccer and coaching, and ryan's baseball...the last weeks of school are so hectic! first graders grow and progress so much the last part of school that i have to assess them right up until the last week. testing first graders is not at all like testing the kids i taught in middle school. most of the assessment has to be done one on one. but that i can handle. that i love. it's the other stuff that drives me crazy. what SUCKS (my first graders like to use the word "disdainful") BIG TIME is that i have to tear down and pack up everything in my room, only to put it right back up (in the same exact space) 2 months from now IN THE SWELTERING HEAT (no air). it makes sense if i am getting my room painted. i am ok with that. otherwise, i think it's RIDICULOUS. why do i have to remove all posters? no one washes my wall. and if they did, i would say it was pointless. here's another great pack up rule: if the district purchased a bookcase, you can leave your things on it. if the TEACHER (and go bless her for it) purchased the bookcase herself, everything must be removed and boxed up. shut up...its' true! i tell no lies here. anyway, this is the first year, in 14 years of teaching, that i have to go back this week and finish packing up. ok, vent over. check out my super cute room! :)

and yes, those ARE napoleon dynamite posters adorning my walls. :)
