I got so much accomplished today. Cooked a good breakfast, then got busy taking Christmas decorations down. Picked up around here, did some computer clean-up and postings that I needed to do. Was able to take a nap...was so tired today. Cooked dinner, tacos, not my favorite but hubby was sure happy. Even cleaned up the kitchen after dinner, not something I usually do every single night, but something I want to change and make sure is done nightly.  I did go out a few minutes today as I needed to get some batteries for my hubby. As I was driving home from the store this dawned on me. The next few months are sure going to be nice, nothing planned on weekends. I realized these past few months have been extremely busy...September every single weekend was filled with scrapbook house business. October, football season was still in swing, I went away one weekend, then Brent and I went away another. November, cropping with a great group of people, then holiday things. December, I was away for a whole week, then the holidays. Whew, when I realized all of this no wonder I have been so tired. So, for the sake of needing to slow down my life and focus on my home, family, and things that should be close to your heart I am not planning anything for the next 3 months. So for now the rest of this evening is going to be spent relaxing on the couch!

Until Later,

Report Cards Complete!!

Finished report cards tonight. Now all I have to do in am is to print and stuff! This has been a really good week. I only have 2 more subjects to plan and lesson plans are complete for next week! Woohoo!! I am determined to not have to go into school this weekend. Hopefully, no more weekend work or going back to school after dinner the rest of this school year! I am so ready to turn my thoughts and time more towards home.

Until Later,

Accomplished!

Well the last two assessments of my online class were done and posted tonight! Being the first day back at school, many new things being implemented, and completing those postings, this girl is tired. Tired to the bone actually. So early to bed it is for me.

Until Later,

Back to the Grind!

Today was a really good day! It was back to the grind of getting things ready for school. Although I did not have students today, I stayed just as busy today as I do when they are there and I teach all day. I worked very hard with my teammates planning today. I am basically planned for the whole month of January, with a few exceptions of getting some things together. Tonight I spent the evening prepping and laminating math and literacy center work. It feels good to get it done and the next few days I can focus on the next thing which is report cards!!

It is about an inch and a half thick!

My teaching BFF for the last 3 years now. Don't know what I would do without this baby!!

Yesterday's Goodness!

Well, I missed posting yesterday, but it was for a really good reason...instead of procrastinating and not doing what I should have been doing I was working on an online class I am taking. The class ends the 4th of January and I had 4 more sessions to do as of yesterday morning. So I knew I had to MAKE myself do at least 2 sessions. Well, I was able to do one while at school and then did the next one last night (instead of a blog posting).

All in all yesterday was a really good day. School was real good. No complaints there.  Hubby and I went to dinner at the kids house and were able to see the grandkids...and I didn't have to cook on my first day back to work! Came home, did my class session and then went to bed early. Nothing too exciting but started a few new routines to help make the morning easier.

Until later, Teresa

Retail Goodness!!

Well for today I have some retail goodness to share with you. My sweet hubby bought me stuff at Kohl's over the holidays and he gave me $60 in Kohl's cash. Well it expires on January 2nd so we decided to go spend it today. Not really sure what I wanted to buy we searched the store and looked around at lots of stuff. One of the things I asked for Christmas was a cupcake carrier and he had not been able to find one. We found one and then he began looking around for something else to get me. I ended up getting a relaxing outfit...comfy clothes for the weekend, and then a really cute pair of jeans and a sparkly shirt. 

My really cute jeans and sparkly shirt

Cannot wait to wear this comfy outfit next weekend.

My new cupcake carrier! Carrying cupcakes to a location will be a dream!
