New gadget
Well, its still in the box new, but I've had it since Christmas... I got a digital photo album thingy that is the size of a credit card.  I think I might actually take it out of the box today and upload some pictures on it.  People are always asking to see new pics of Evan...so what better way, right?  Yeah.
 
Off I go to shower... on a day off... my mental health day.

TGIF
Thank GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH its Friday!!! It's been quite a long week. At least to me.  But- I managed to make it through another week.  Only 43 more student days of school left... 44 for me if you include next Friday's teacher work day.  That's about a month and a half left... not including weekends.  Heck, if we could go Saturday and Sunday for a few weeks, I would... just for this year to be over.
 
PS- I need a maid.  And a chef.

Thanks!
Well, thanks to everyone who's been helpful sending me the phone number to your therapist.  I didn't really think people read my status updates on FaceBook or MySpace.   I'm gonna check into them and see who's the best for the cheapest...and if my insurance will cover it.  I would hate to have to pay an arm and leg to talk to someone...

Show me the money!
Well, I just got an email from the florist owner where my jewelry is...I sold, well they sold it for me, another bracelet! YAY! I still have to take her some new designs to put in the case.  But- along with most other things in my life, I have ZERO time during the day to do it.  SIGH.
 
PS- You can check out some of my jewelry here.

Whew.
I am totally and utterly exhausted.  I took the GRE yesterday... I got a 520 Quantitative and 470 Verbal...so that means, if I get at lest a 4.6 on the Analytical, I'm OFFICIALLY in grad school.  If not, then I'll take the MAT soon and try again. (For those of you who need the GRE or MAT and have a choice, take the MAT first, it's cheaper.  I wish I had known that before I forked over $130 bucks.)
 
LOL- I just looked down at my ring and noticed that I have dried pizza sauce stuck in it.  EW.

It's almost over...already!
Well, Top 'o the Mornin' to ya and a Happy Easter... all in the same week!  I don't think that St. Patrick's day and Holy Week have fallen in the same week in a long time. 
 
Anywho, it was a nice Easter today. Kinda chilly... I should post pics of Evan, but am too lazy right now.   I'll be so glad when I'm done with the freakin' school yearbook.  BAH HUMBUG!

Ooops...
I forgot that I had a paper due Monday...so, at about 7, I started on it... I've done the research, now I have to finish typing the darn thing. I have 2 pages almost done, and I need a third... How's this for a catchy title....

TGIF!!!
It's Friday.... HOORAY!!  I'm so exhausted at the end of the week.  Teaching is so rewarding, but so tiring. 
 
Today I was the curtain/snow lady for the 2nd grade plays, had a meeting with the AP (my boss), proctored a test again (what we didn't finish yesterday), and had help take some kids to the bus. 
 
Whew, I'm pooped.  All that in 7.33 hours (but its actually more because I come in earlier than I'm supposed to so I don't feel guilty leaving on time in the afternoons.)
 
I'm going to bed...as soon as the laundry is finished.

Too busy for a title.
Whew, what a day.  I was so busy.  I had to be the curtain/snow lady for the 2nd grade plays, proctor a test, and take some kids pictres for the yearbook. Hopefully tomorrow won't be so busy, as it's Friday!!!  Hopefully I can get the laundry done tonight so I can wear jeans tomorrow and donate to OpGrad for the HS.

Who thinks I'm dumb???
Raise your hand. Nobody? Anybody??
 
Well, I got a SPAM email (I like to just look at the Spam inbox for giggles...)  The message starts
 
Subject: I am waiting for your urgent response
 
Dear Friend, I know that this mail will come to you as a surprise as we have never met
UH!! DUH!!! Yes, it would be a surprise to hear from you as we have never met, however, I am not an idiot who opens stupid spammer crap. 
 
No thank you for your time Mr. Spammy McSpammer. 
 
In other news, I fear my house is going to blow down tonight. It's rather windy...to say the least.
