Feeling oh so tired

Weekends are just not long enough! I spent yesterday running around God's green earth doing errands because I did not have to go work at the station because it was the end of the month and mom closed out the month. So there really was no point in me going there. So I got things finished around the house.

Then I spent the afternoon today tearing out old edging and replacing it with cedar timbers. I just need more dirt so I can level the timbers. I just love it when it is beautiful outside. And if anybody knows how to kill a yucca plant, I am all ears! We pulled the dang thing out last year and it managed to come back because of the dang root. So I spent a good amount of time today pulling it out again. The root is just too dang thick and deep to get any of it to come out. I am thinking of a root killer, but I don't know if they make such a thing.

I also spent today grading papers and trying to come up with lesson plans for the week. We finished our reading series and now that entails me being creative and being somewhat productive because I spend the morning hours doing reading and language arts ideas and concepts. So I think I have an idea of what to do this week. Although this week is going to be super crazy!

Tomorrow we have bike safety coming in the afternoon to talk to the third graders about bike safety and then they get free helmets. Tuesday I am gone, so it is more work for me trying to come up with sub plans. Wednesday is the annual May Procession. The students all bring in flowers and we process from school to the church carrying our flowers for Mary. Thursday, I believe is the only normal day, oh wait I am having the students paint flower pots for Mother's Day on Sunday. Then Friday is Race for Education. Which means each class spends an hour running, jogging, or walking around the church for donations. Hopefully it will tire the little cherubs out!

On top of all these exciting things, it is Teacher Appreciation Week. So there are activities going on all week for that. So thank a teacher this week. He/she really needs it! :D

Also, I have my interview at 1 on Tuesday. Gee it is going to be a busy week! So I think I am going to go to sleep now, I have a feeling it will be the only good night's sleep that I get this week. :D

Phone Message

Hubby called me up and left a voicemail around 2:30 today telling me that the principal from St. Matt's called and would like to meet with me. Unfornately, I did not check my phone until around 3:30 because I was in a conference. However I got the number and phoned St. Matt's and got no answer. When I came home and listened to the message, she said I could call her or write e-mail her. So I just now typed off an e-mail.

Since Thursday's are my crappy days I have no time to call her. My secretary suggested I call her at 7:45ish in the morning. But I think they start school at 7:50 or some odd time. So I figured e-mail would be the quickest way. I told her that I would be able to meet with her on Tuesday afternoon because I have a sub the entire day because of the ISTEP workshop I have to go to in the morning. Plus I took the afternoon off because it makes no sense for me to drive to Plymouth for about three hours and then turn around and come home when gas is 3.75 a gallon! So I took a personal day in the afternoon. So lets home she can get together then.

Then again I shouldn't get my hopes up too high. Uggh, I hate the interviewing process.

my ode to randomness

My brain is jumping from one subject to another, I figured I might as well share because it seems as if I cannot keep things straight at the moment:

~I set a date for the spa party...June 27 and I come to find out that we also get a limo ride to and from the spa!

~I have made the reservations for the hotel room for San Antonio in July. My cousin James assured me that the site between the hotel and the reception were literally like two parking lots away....better for the drunks to stagger back ;D

~I finished my book called Firefly Lane. I started last week and somehow I laid around all weekend and read, read, and read! I just finished it last night and cried buckets!

~While wandering Walmart tonight, waiting for prescriptions to be filled, I found out that a slice of carrot cake has 720 calories. I put that sucker back on the shelf and opted for the lower calorie slice of cheesecake! :D

~My sister has informed me that when school is out we are doing yoga at 10 am at the Fitness here on my side of town. Lucky me!

~I am in desperate need of a haircut. I really would like to go short with layers and I am toying with the idea of dying it a light brown. But I know I would never go ahead with a color change...too chicken although hubby would LOVE it!

~Rosie's kitties left us on Saturday and Sunday of last week. So I now officially have the orginal foursome!

~I have to go to a meeting for ISTEP next Tuesday...I love it when the principal throws things at you at the last minute and Tuesdays are my good days, why couldn't it be a Thursday when I have the little angels up until 2:30 and then they leave me for computer for 20 minutes. Blah!

~Speaking of principals, mine had me sign an intent to transfer form today. I haven't heard anything from the other school yet and she is having me sign things. She assured me that she was not trying to push me out the door because she would rather keep me. She also told me she called the other principal today, and that principal has not yet gotten around to calling people. But the principal told my princiapl that a former parent has talked to her about me since they are at St. Matt's now. So it sounds promising!

Penguins

I have a fettish with penguins. My mousepad has penguins, I have a pillow on my couch with penguins, along with other itmes in my house. I just LOVE them! So when I read this story and saw this picture I just couldn't help but smile!

I Just LOVE Spring!

So I was walking around the house tonight and I could not but help admire my flowers! Last spring, we had a cold snap after it was warm and it meant that my poor azalea bush just died and I did not get to enjoy the beautiful flowers that it produces since the dang thing only opens up once a year. So I am enjoying it this year! So I am sharing with everybody the beauty of SPRING! Enjoy!!!
