And she's back!

I'm back....

Okay, so blogging has not been as easy as I thought. My conclusion is that I really enjoy looking at the blogs of others, but can't seem to keep my own blog going. BUT with that said- if there is one thing I am it is determined and slightly stubborn. (just ask my husband) I am not going to give it up just yet. Track-out is just around the corner (t-one week!) and so is FALL! Fall is my favorite! I do have a couple projects in mind...

Upcoming projects (for track-out):
1) Decorate the house for fall-- pictures to come with that
2) Paint small canvases with some of the phrases from the love chapter (1 Cor. 13) such as "Love is patient", etc. to put up around some of our wedding pictures that we hung up. Hopefully, it will turn out as well as it looks in my head. :) My friend Tricia, who is the middle school art teach at Franklin and a dear friend of mine from Providence, has told me she will help. AND Micheal's is having a BOGO free sale on their small canvases! Hopefully, there will be some fun pictures to go along with this, also
Well, that is just about it... except for one thing. We had a good time at the beach this past weekend (Labor Day) with Keith's family. The weather was GORGEOUS, I learned some new card games, and I was convinced to take a 34 mile bike ride with Keith's parents!!! Talk about sore, but surprisingly had a really great time... whether or not Keith's parents did or not, I don't know, considering they had to go pretty slow for me. But it was a fun trip. Here are a couple of pictures:






At the sand dunes at Jockey 's Ridge... :)

HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TEACHER?

by Jeff Foxworthy

1. You can hear 25 voices behind you and know exactly which one belongs to
the child out of line.

2. You get a secret thrill out of laminating something.

3. You walk into a store and hear the words "It's Ms/Mr. _________" and
know you have been spotted.

4. You have 25 people that accidentally call you Mom/Dad at one time or
another.

5. You can eat a multi-course meal in under twenty-five minutes.

6. You've trained yourself to go to the bathroom at two distinct times of
the day: lunch and planning period.

7. You start saving other people's trash, because most likely, you can use
that toilet paper tube or plastic butter tub for something in the
classroom.

8. You believe the teachers' lounge should be equipped with a IB Profen/ Advil
machine.

9. You want to slap the next person who says, "Must be nice to work 8 to 4
and have summers off."

10. You believe chocolate is a food group.

11. You can tell if it's a full moon without ever looking outside.

12. You believe that unspeakable evils will befall you if anyone says, "Boy, the kids sure are mellow today."

13. You feel the urge to talk to strange children and correct their
behavior when you are out in public.

14. You believe in aerial spraying of Ritalin.

15. You think caffeine should be available in intravenous form.

16. You spend more money on school stuff than you do on your own children.

17. You can't pass the school supply aisle without getting at least five
items!

18. You ask your friends if the left hand turn he just made was a "good
choice or a bad choice."

19. You find true beauty in a can full of perfectly sharpened pencils

20. You are secretly addicted to hand sanitizer

and finally......

You understand instantaneously why a child behaves a certain way after
meeting his or her parents.
