I am loving Smile box. I've wanted to do something with my pictures for so long and now here's a cheap and cool way to do that. Now if only I could motivate myself to down load all the pictures from life before i-phone. The huge bucket is daunting to say the least.
This week was okay but exhausting. Seems my sleep is interrupted for something very often. You'd think I could sleep without my ambien but I can't. We made our reservations and will be flying into Baltimore for "THE day." If everything runs smoothly I am going to get to see my bestie Charlotte while I am there! I haven't seen her in several years and just need my friend right now.
School is good. I'm working on bonding with all of my students. Some are easy and some are more difficult. I love them all though. The most memorable experience of the week was that I was attacked. Good thing I'm so much bigger or I would have been on the ground.

Digital scrapbooking
Verrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyy interesting....
I haven't posted anything about goals lately because my main goal has been to get ready for school. My goal-setting this summer however has carried over to school and my classroom is as organized as it has ever been. I love it! I got some containers with lids so the shelves look neater and I made some cushioned seats out of milk crates. The kids love 'em. I do too if I do say so myself! It looks better now that I have kids' work and learning stuff on the walls.
About the digital scrapbooking... well I have wanted to scrap book all my pictures for at least 15 years now. I remember going to Hobby Lobby when the girls were small to pick paper and a binder and other stuff to do it. I never did. I have a huge bucket full of pictures and there are thousands inside. I don't have a place in my house to start the sorting process and it will definitely take more time than I have to use my kitchen table or living room floor. I was asked to be the Historian on our PTA board. My job is to make a scrapbook of the PTA happenings for the year. That is going to entail taking pictures of events and stuff. It occurred to me to try doing it on-line and it works great! I like the idea of making small scrapbooks of each event, at least for now. I am not going to do the PTA one online but I can save these personal ones to my computer and a disk or memory drive. I am so excited!

Back into the swing of things
This past weekend Matt and I went to Waco to see our sweet Traci. We went out to dinner and to the football game with her. I so loved being with her. Her apartment and her room are as neat as a pin, which isn't surprising. She surprised us and got herself a fire belly toad. His name is Phelps and the funny thing is he eats crickets and she is scared of them. She said she didn't think about that when she bought him. Goof ball. Except for the heat and the crowds, the game was fun. Poor SMU didn't have a chance. It felt weird to be wearing a Baylor shirt of all things!

Keri surprised us and came home last Thursday. She also has a pet story. Ugh! The ding bat! She went and bought herself a ten gallon aquarium complete with fish and frogs. Then she found out the next day she's not allowed to have it so she brought it all home. I have to admit that I kinda went wild
fixing the dang thing up but I was surprised when she called and said she was bringing home a ten gallon aquarium. I love this picture of Bree and Keri. They both look so happy. Love my girls!
Bree has not only one new job but TWO. Here she is in her new dress that she bought for her new job. She is so used to wearing black and white at work that I'm sure it's fun for her to wear colors now. She has had a ball buying new clothes for work. It's so convenient that she has to wear the clothes that the two boutiques sell in order to work. Oh yeah. But oh she is a cutie.
We are just praying and holding onto hope that everything will be all right for her. She is upset and we are upset and I think I am going to have a nervous breakdown. I so want her to be all right and for this all to go away. I am trying to not get bitter but I am headed that direction.
School is going well for me. I love my class. I have great kids. I don't know if I've ever had such awesome kiddos. I feel very grateful. I've had fun fixing up my classroom and getting every thing ready. I am pleased with all the goals I accomplished over the summer and my
