Yay! Mini-Vacation Time!

Dear Readers, As of 12:55 p.m. today, I am on mini- vacation. I am so happy that I don’t have to do anything for 4 days. I’m not hosting Thanksgiving this year, so I have tons of free time on my hand. I am going to sleep in tomorrow- probably until 8 a.m., then I’m [...]

Stayed Home From Work Today!

I really hate getting gas. I will wait until my husband is in the car with me and conveniently stop. That way, he has to pump it. Pretty slick, huh? Well, today didn’t lessen my disdain for stopping at the gas station. In fact, it increased it. Why, you ask? Well, since you asked so [...]

Lakeshore’s Weekend Sale (11/26/11-11/27/11)

Busy, Busy, Busy Me!!!

Dear Readers, I am so sorry I have been neglecting you. I haven’t written in a couple of days because I’ve been so tired lately. There’s just so much on my plate right now. At home, Phillise’s cheering is so intense. Her team is preparing for Nationals in January and the practice is really demanding. [...]

I’ve Never Won One!

Dear Readers, I’ve never won one! The one, in question, is a student with a negative influence at home. I’ve never gotten one to change their negative thought pattern successfully. My dilemma is with one of my students, Binaca Blast. She’s VERY mean. She lies with no conscience or remorse and is just generally causing [...]

Yay! She Got 2/20!!!

I am so happy with one of my students, Ms. Loud Talker (It’s so the opposite. She’s very quiet, but she is slowly, but surely, getting her voice.), who scored 2/20 on her test. I know that you’re probably asking why I’m celebrating such a low score, but just sit back and, as usual, I [...]

Congratulations to Phillise!

I am so happy. My daughter’s team won 1st place in the cheer competition at Magic Mountain & 3rd place in the dance category. I think it should have been the other way around because I thought they did a better job in the dance category. But, it’s all good because we are still going [...]

Reports Cards Nearly Done!!!

I am slowly but surely getting it together in regard to my organizational skills, meeting deadlines, & keeping it together. I’m nearly done with report cards. I just need the grades for Art & Music. I’ll get them on Monday. Right now I am about to get some sleep. So, bye for now!

Swamped me!

I have been so swamped lately that I hadn’t realized that I haven’t written for almost a week. Between work and cheer practice, I haven’t even had time to sit and think. Reports cards are due tomorrow and I’ve only completed half of them. But, as always, I will get it done. So, bye for [...]
