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!

Family room re-do featuring.... my curtains! : )

For a while now, we've planned on finally finishing our family room.  That's right, it's kind of been unfinished for the entire time we've lived there.  It was painted and decorated, just no molding and the ceiling was hideous because we (and by we, I mean Zach) took down the drop ceiling the previous owners had put up.  So, anyway, I looked at curtains and didn't really find anything I liked, so I decided I was going to make my own.  Zach and I looked at Jo-Ann's a couple times and each time we looked I liked this fabric more and more.  It was the most expensive fabric I've ever bought, but in the end, it was sooooo worth it! (*Note- I bought the fabric in January before NSM! : )) Here we are at Mama Joyce's one day after church cutting the panels.  I think we were all nervous to cut it.  It was too costly to mess up! Fast forward a couple weeks because I didn't have time, was lazy, and also scared to sew on it, and I finally just delved in an...

Turns out...

Third grade is not bad at all! The kids are still pretty sweet and are so excited for me to be there and I am excited too! I think it will be fun to see all that they can do and have fun with them. Yesterday I received 5 notes on my desk about how excited that I was there and about how much fun we were going to have. I think they are right! Hopefully I get the hang of them quickly, because I start teaching Science (Mon and Wed), Social Studies(Tues and Thur), and PE (Fri) next week!

What I'm Thankful For...

Hey y'all. It's just Nathana in this post. I figured since I've been alive 20 years, that equals 20 Thanksgivings, so I'm gonna have the 20 things I'm most Thankful for. Here goes nothing! : ) 1. The first thing of course I am thankful for is my salvation through Jesus Christ! Without him I have no hope to be anything! 2. My mom and dad, and the home they raised me in. I could not imagine any parents better than mine, and I'm proud to be their daughter. I'm also thankful they didn't give me away to a farm when I was difficult! 3. My brother and sister. No one else knows all of the trouble we've been in and fun we've had over the years and even though we don't always see eye to eye, I wouldn't trade them for any other siblings. 4. Zachary Scheller. God has blessed me with an even better future husband than I could have ever asked for. My love and respect for him grows each day, and I will be so thankful this June when I can ca...
