Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!!

Hey Everybody...

Are we there yet?!?!?!  When are we gonna get there? Huh? Huh? Huh?  You know me, I'm a foot dragger - Got 'em where I want 'em and don't want to let 'em go!  But I am a little tired of their crazy antics these last few days. 

Yesterday was a {much needed} half day - like a REAL one.  Not one where the kids go home and the parents think you go home too, but you don't - you sit in meetings all day long and wish you were teaching instead but the general public thinks you get all these days off but you really don't...but yesterday...

WAS A REAL HALF DAY!!!!!!  

And this weekend is a nice long one! The Memorial Day parade is one of my favorites - honoring those who fight or have fought for our freedom always gives me goosebumps.

My Uncle David fought in Vietnam.  I never got to meet him, but love listening to stories his sister {my mom} tells about him and am in awe of his bravery.



Have you ever visited the Vietnam Veterans Virtual Wall?
I read this book yesterday {It's a tear-jerker}...

I didn't forget the moms!
If there's a military hero you'd like to honor - feel free to share in my comments.

Happy l o n g weekend to ya's!

Five For Friday

I'm starting this blog post - and if it makes it to the end, you know...

Well...

I made it to the end. Because right now I'm predicting I'll get about mid-way and throw in the towel. {Of course if that were the case - you wouldn't be reading this because I wouldn't post that nonsense...} That's how it has been these last few weeks. I try to sit down and concentrate only to either:

A, B & C:  Fall asleep {I have home row permanently embedded on my forehead}

I think I can muster up enough energy to post five random pictures from my week.  Thanks Doodle Bugs Teaching!



My pitcher boy...

Reviewing some blends...

I have no energy to fix this...

She's BEGGING to be walked...who can resist?

Lots of lilacs came my way this week...I had the sweet smell with me wherever I went...
I made it to the end. Miracles do happen.  I hope you all had a great week!  So how many of us are on summer vacation?  Go ahead - you can tell me, I can handle it.  For those of us still mustering up enough energy to make it through these last weeks...how long do you have?

Happy Friday!

Teacher Appreciation

Hey Everybody!

I sure hope somebody, somewhere shows you that they appreciate you - because you are a mountain-mover!  

Visit me at my store!
I consider all of you, out there, my colleagues.  Thanks, so much, for "listening" and sharing your ideas with me.  I learn as much {if not more} from you as I hope you learn from me.  Teaching isn't always glamorous {okay, glamorous might be a stretch any way you look at it} but blogging and connecting with all of you helps me stay focused and positive...so thanks!
