Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary to my parents today. They were married 29 years ago at St. Anthony's Church. Next year will be the big 3-0!

Anyone looking to move?

So I come home tonight and see the most wonderful sign...a for sale sign in my neighbor's yard! These are the people that have 5 boys all under the age of 11. The parents let the oldest watch the youngest (who is about 2 at the most) while they are running around outside doing whatever they feel like. These are also the same neighbors who do not say a word to you and allow their children to beat up my trees while they are standing right there. These are also the same kids who have been throwing rocks at my birds and picking my flowers. I was only waiting for a rock to go through my window. When I have been outside, one of the younger ones now stands there and makes faces at me, yells at the top of his lungs, and pretends to beat me up. So yes I am very happy to see that sign and plus the listing agent is my cousin's husband! Hopefully we will have someone that is more respectful to the ones around them or I can only hope!

Radio Advisory Group

So I filled out this survey on one of the radio stations that I listen to and give feedback. The last question was if I wanted to be part of the listener advisory group. I checked yes and thought nothing else about it. Monday after school I received a voice mail telling me that I have been chosen and to show up at the station at 7 PM Wednesday night. If we do show up we receive a light dinner, a prize pack, and a $25 gift certificate for a restaurant. Well heck yes I am going to be there tonight. I get free food and free food for me and hubby in the future! I just have to sit there for an hour and talk about the radio station with a group. So we will see how it goes.

Lazy bums

So it is 8 o'clock and the house is quite. Gee I thought to myself where could the dang cats be the house is only so big. So I start putting laundry away and look what I stumble upon...

Pardon the messy bed but gee Lucy is snuggled on my side with her purple mouse, Isabelle is on the Redskins fleece blanket and Daisy is just trying to wonder why in the heck I disturbed her!

Just glad they enjoy the bed now because when it is my turn to sleep, out they go!

Happy Day

Happy Friday!

So school was good and the kids were a little more behaved than on Wednesday. I just wish that lessons would plan themselves and copies would copy themselves! I have so much work to do this weekend, but I guess that is all of the joys of being a teacher....you lose your weekends! Oh well, I enjoy being busy.

On the way home today, the radio station I listen to asked a question about what do 27% of teenagers admit to having in their notebooks, I thought gee that one is easy it is doodling! So I called the radio station and then it started ringing and I thought to myself gee it never rings when I call I always get a busy signal. So I couldn't believe that it was ringing and thought clearly I had the wrong number so I hung up and went through my recently called list because I called the same radio station a couple of weeks ago. So I find the number and dial again and gee it was ringing again! So imagine my luck when I got the question right and I won! Other people were guessing locker combos, paper (sorry but how dumb are we!), phone numbers, and so on. But I won a $50 gift certificate to a photography studio and tickets to a blues fest in Elkhart on the 25th. I'm just estatic I was on the radio! I seem to chuckle a lot, as my mom puts it, but I think I sounded cute!

So now I am off to watch my cousin play football for Clay. It is his senior year and he is starting and the weather is going to be great football weather! Go Clay!!!
