Ten on Thursday

1. I am home from school today sick with what Zach likes to call the "creepin' crud." I thought it was Strep, but alas the Dr. said it wasn't. Thank you, third graders!!

2. Zach's truck quit on Sunday. He got a new battery and put it in and it worked fine Monday. Then on Tuesday morning he woke up and it wouldn't start. So I have been getting up early, taking him to work, and then coming back home to lay down for a few minutes before I head to school. Thank goodness he has this job now where they drive the box truck or van to jobs!! Hopefully we figure out what is going on with it soon.

3. This week a kindergarten class was walking by my room as I was putting up a bulletin board. One of the little boys extends his arm out and pokes me in the belly! It was funny, but oh so random and weird.

4. We are really praying that we get our tax return back very soon! It has our first-time home buyers credit on it that will help us out bunches!!

5. Nellie cracks me up. Whenever she sits on a blanket or towel she spins around multiple times, all the while taking her paws and pulling, pushing, and swishing it around. It is so funny and sweet to watch. Sometimes though, she does this for 5 minutes, and I have to ask her if she is done yet! Then she gives me her crazy cute stare that says, "Mama, you are nuts. I have nooooooo idea what you are talking about!"

6. Another funny thing Nellie did this week was on our bed. I had just laid down and was waiting for Zach to come to bed too. Nellie hops up on the bed and is cuddling with me. I saw Zach coming down the hall and so I said to Nellie, "Uh oh, Nellie, Here comes Daddy!" She leaped off the bed and ran under the couch. Good Girl! I have tried to upload some videos of her several times and have never gotten it to work. Anybody have guidance about that?

7. I am still working on my resume. I also need to get it done because I am going to a job fair in Union County on Saturday with our friends, Ryan and Kayleigh. I think Ryan's plan is for Kayleigh and I to impress his principal and get hired while he and Zach play with the Smartboard in his room! Pray that it goes well! I do not care what job I get, any job for now will be wonderful!

8. My birthday is less than a month away. I will be 22. Oh. my. goodness. It seems like just yesterday Suzanne, Ross, and I were running around at Mama Joyce and Papa's house. Our biggest concern was when 3:00 came, because it was snack time. : ) Or maybe if Mama Joyce had made a cake for somebody that day while we were at school, and if there would be three mini cakes waiting for us to decorate when we got home. I miss those days, but these days are good too, it's just different.

9. Speaking of birthdays, a certain husband of mine is having a birthday 2 months from tomorrow. He also will be 22. I would ask his comment about this, but I have a feeling all I would hear is how I'm older! : )

10. Tomorrow is Friday, my last day of school for one glorious week! I am trucking ahead with lesson plans today even though I'm sick because I want to do nothing school-related the whole week!

There are a couple more things I wanted to share, but I forgot them (of course) and it is a glorious day outside. I may just have to drag my poor self outside and take Nellie girl on a walkie!

Valentine's Day and the Quickest Weekend Ever

Valentine's morning I treated myself to a heart-shaped chicken biscuit from Chick-fil-a.  They were BOGO free AND I got a survey for a free chicken sandwich.  That in and of itself made my day! : )                                                       Friday evening Zach and I tried to go out for Valentine's Day.  We thought we were early enough to beat the rush, but it turned out we weren't.   We ended up going back home with a quick stop through Donut Bank to get dessert and then we had a DiGiorno pizza and watched the Olympics.  Can you feel the romance? Haha.                                                                                                     Yummy Whoopie Pie!                                                                                          My Valentine! Saturday morning began gloriously at 9:20 a.m. It seems like it's been forever since I slept that late, but it was wonderful!  I met my friend, Jennifer, and he

Ten on Thursday

1. Zach is on Spring Break this week! Even if it is just from his one class, we still enjoyed it! I actually got to have him with me all last night! 2. I am almost done with my first week in third grade. So far, so good! The kids seem to really like me and I'm becoming rather fond of them as well! 3. I was working out last night and accidentally kicked Nellie in the side of her head. She is okay, but Zach may still be dying of laughter! I felt awful and was trying to pick her up as she was trying to scurry away from me. She must have thought I did it intentionally! Poor baby! She got lots of hugs and kisses after that though! 4. We have kept our sink free of dirty dishes for over a week now! This may not sound like such a feat, but trust me, when you don't have a dishwasher, it is! 5. Tomorrow is the "Spring Fling" carnival at my school. I am going to help set it up after school, which should be fun! 6. Warrick County School Corporation announced this past week that t

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas festivities started with Zach's family on Christmas Eve!  We opened presents and ate!  I'll let the pictures do most of the talking!  As you can see, Christmas is so more magical when there are little ones to spoil! : ) Mrs. Claus house shoes from Nana and Poppy!  Mmmmm, paper!  We got Zach's dad a long magnet on wheels.  We hope he liked it!! Haha, it was one of those gifts that was more of a necessity I think!  She was excited!  We are glad she liked it!  We got Zach's mom a record player that is a 5-in-1 system!  Isaiah's sweater we got him!  Its pockets are in the shape of monkey hands too, so I couldn't resist how cute it was!  He is a cute little monkey too!  Book set from us!  Love If You Give A Mouse.... series!  He is saying. "Ohhh, paper!  I love that!"  Make-up set from us!  He looooved the paper!  Isaiah opening his Leap Frog laptop from us!  He lik
