My one-a-month highlight post!

Well I am burning th e midnight oil, like I always do, so here is what I have decided to do to get "caught up" with my past 6 months of "picture starvation" on the blog. I will do one (1) picture for each month. If I can hold to just that it will be a miracle that's for sure! Well, here goes nothing!

I'm awful, I admit it!

If I admit it openly does that make me a little bit less of a HUGE blog slacker? I will get some pictures up and do a decent post this weekend I promise. Not that I think anyone even will read this, I'm sure you've all given up on me long ago.

Just wondering...

I'm beginning to wonder if anyonw ever reads my blog anymore. I never get any comments, except for from Colleen, thanks Colleen. I am thinking I need to get one of those visitor trackers so that I can track you stalkers that never leave me a comment. I need some communication with the "outside world" and if you never comment I never know you are there. Please someone please comment. I guess I should put up a few pictures maybe that will get you? Later-

School

We'll I got to go in an get a few of my "personal" items. Wowwie cazowie- that was hard! I didn't think it would be easy but it was so weird. I took a few photos so I could remember my old school but I haven't taken them off the camera yet. Maybe I will get them up soon but I can't promise anything. It's time to get moving on school! I don't know how I will ever be ready in time. Usually it takes weeks being there night and day but this year I only have 16 days. I don't know where to start because I have NOTHING! All the stuff I brought home has to stay home-can't ever go back to a school. I have 1000s of books, probably at least 60 books on tape or CD and tons of other teaching stuff. Maybe I should start my own homeschool. I don't have any bulletin board stuff at all, couldn't take ANY of it because it was too smoky. I guess it's off to Utah Idaho I go. I wish I wouldn't have spent that gift certificate that a student's parent (thanks, Allison Ferguson!) gave me last year. I could have had $50 to use towards all of my new stuff. Oh well, maybe I should start one of those jars at the gas station. You know those jars when someone is needing help. No, that wouldn't work. I guess I will think of something. Take a big deep breath and get to work!

I love you, Antelope!

Years ago, I don't even know how many, Adam said "I love you, dear!" And I answered back "I love you too, Antelope!" I think this is how it all began. Now we have a joke about it and it has turned into a game. I just wanted to do a quick post today to tell my "deer" antelope hubby that I love him! Today is our 14th anniversary! I can't believe how fast time has flown. Yet it seems like I have been with him FOREVER! Not in a bad way but we have been through a lot and have worked it out together. Here's to many more HAPPPY ANNIVERSARIES! I love you, Adam! Thanks for putting up with me and all my little (and sometimes big) problems. You are a great dad and for the most part a great husband. I wouldn't trade you for all the tea in China. Maybe all the gold in China but I don't like tea anyway! I love you! Here's to a better year!

Feeling Frustrated

I am so frustrated! Have you ever been in a situation that you just don't know how to feel? Well, that is how I am tonight. School fire has got me down, way down. I just want my stuff! Not even all of it, just one book that I wrote a story of my aunt Val in called "Our Heros." And one of her files that has her handwriting on it. Is that too much to ask? My wonderful aunt Val is truly my greatest hero. She passed away just over 4 years ago. When she died, since I was the teacher in the family I got most of her teaching stuff. Where would you put that kind of stuff if you were a teacher? In the school, huh! That's where it all was. Hundreds of books with "this book belongs to Miss Bleazard" in the front, hundreds if not thousands of files of her awesome teaching stuff, all of her good teaching stuff. Luckily or unluckily I gave all files that I didn't want to my great friend Shelly McKeever, whom I teach with, which means it's all there too! Wow, Oh wow I really want her stuff! I think I would be okay with them keeping ALL of MY things if I could just have those two special things! My Hero book and a sample of her handwriting that's all over her files..... Anybody want to stage a break in? It would only take me about 30 seconds inside the building cause I know right where these things are.....anyone, anyone?

Okay, I just wanted to prove to myself that I could do it! I think I may be able to figure out the "add a picture" to my post now. I will do more later I've gotta go break up another fight!
