Tuesday Thoughts

The week is going well, but I have some beef to pound:
1.  If another website posts Olympic results without warning of a spoiler, I am going to scream and throw a hissy fit.  I logged out of my hotmail account earlier and was automatically redirected to msn where result for today's events were posted.  No warning, no "look away now if you don't want it ruined for you," nothing of the sort.  This makes me so unbelievably mad.  Ask anyone at school today, I. was. ticked.  Uggggggh.  I guess I'll just need to avoid the internet the next two weeks, as I am not a "I'll feel better if I know how it ends ahead of time" person like my dear Mama! ; )

2.  Why, oh why, couldn't we have had all those delays, early releases, and snow days this week instead of last so that I can watch as much as possible of the Olympics! (Warning: If you are already tired of seeing the word Olympics, you may want to ignore me for the rest of the month!  Although, if you don't love the Olympics, you may not be that sane of a person in the first place!) ; )

3. When the crap did Wallpaper become so dang expensive?  We are doing an accent wall in our bathroom and I have found several stunning, perfect options... except that they are $195/ roll.  You read that correctly... per roll! A little, 33 foot roll!  That's not even 54 square feet.  I either need to hit the lottery or lose my excellent taste in wallpaper.  Stat!

4.  One of my first graders asked me if I had kids, to which I of course, replied, "Not yet."  Another one quickly interjected, "Of course she doesn't! Her belly is NOT big enough to have a baby in it.  She cocks her head to the side as she checks out my stomach and then says: "Yet."  From the mouths of babes....

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...
