The past few...

days have been good, this week is kind of going by slow to me though. I feel like we are so, so, scheduled...perfecting the same, boring, monotonous routine. Day after day! I have had so many annual IEP meetings, and RTI meetings, and collaboration meetings this week...I think that is why my days feel so long. (Sorry for all the education lingo.) Funny though, because I usually LOVE meetings...they are so fun to me! I think I just haven't had enough time in my classroom to balance them out. Moving on...

These are some bright spots.

Abby and Anna came to visit yesterday. I pulled in our subdivision and had to slam on my brakes because there were about 20 girls on bikes, scooters, and who knows what else in the middle of the road. I recognized 2 old fashioned looking lime green and teal bikes..my girls! I immediately rolled down my windows and had pre-teen girls surrounding me :), all informing me that they would be down to my house in a minute (after they asked their parents). Several of the kids from my school were out there and were shocked to see what kind of vehicle I drove (My kids think that I live at school, I think).

Here are my girls riding around on my street. They had to get their Blakely fix, and talk me into sponsoring them in Jump Rope for Heart :)



I picked up the latest Journey for the month of February at church last night! Love it!


I got this in the mail from one of my oldest friends, and college roommates, Katie! I can't wait for her wedding weekend in May.


Today we had a fire drill and I had, you guessed it, another meeting. :) Tomorrow is Enrichment Friday, so that will be a good change of pace. I am also ready for some relaxation. That is what Friday's are for. I will be in Our Pickin' Shed, staring at this sign (and the tv) with my little family tomorrow night. There might be some guitar playing too!


Let me leave you with a favorite song, and where the theme for our pickin' shed came from...
