Monday is a good day....right?

Back to Monday! Yay. Right?  It's all in the tude.  And I pick to be happy that I have a job I love and I get to go to work and see all my awesome kids and spend time with them!  I am also happy to contribute financially to our house and take pressure off Papa.  I am also happy I worked most of the day at getting my lessons planned for the month (except time out for church) and it is an awesome feeling!  Yep.... Monday is ok.

I have to do our taxes soon. I think I got everything.  Just need a real clear and sharp mind for when I do them.  Hasn't happened yet. Lol!

Off to take a shower and I need to go to work early. ;D

Sharing some pictures of why I love Mondays!!!

FRIDAY!!! YAY!

I miss the days when I used to post everyday. I don't know what happened. I guess I got too busy. But this is my journal too and I should keep it up. Facebook sucks my computer time. Just keeping up with everyone. lol!

I go to the doctor this morning. I find out if I go on insulin.  My numbers have been so good I am hoping they hold off.  Whatever they tell me to do.... I guess I will have to do.

School has been very busy for me.  I am preparing for the next month and the ones ahead. Got through Christmas.  Mellowed out in January doing "winter & snow stuff".  February we are having "Our health" for the first week.... focusing on Nutrition, Exercise, Rest (pajama day that day!), our teeth (the tooth fairy is coming that day!), and we have so many cool crafts Veronica came up with!  The following week is Valentines week....we are having a party!  The next week is "Community Helpers" week and we are taking a field trip to the Fire Station!  Hoping to go to the Police Station but we may end up having a police officer come to our school instead. We are finishing the end of the month with Dr. Seuss week....having someone different come in to read to our kids their favorite Dr. Seuss book each day!  See why I have been busy planning? lol!

I started a new site with all my favorite blogger back ground links so I don't have to go back and forth on mine when I want to change a background.  It also has some other links too. Enjoy!

Some great news this morning....... a young man (Justin) who is one of my favorite people's (Cindy) son.... is ready to return home from Afghanistan!!!  It is his second tour and last. I am so happy for him and for his family! They are sooooo close!  Please pray for his safe return!

I am so missing my mama. She was my voice of reason. I counted on her. When I had a problem she would help me figure things out. When I was upset she could calm me down.  When I needed to cry she was there and would comfort me. When I needed prayer.....I knew she would pray for me. She was my best friend and I miss her. I miss going to see her and just talking....she knew EVERYTHING about my life. I shared it all and she loved me anyway. I miss calling her everyday after work to tell her how my day went. It has only been 4 months and I still miss out daily interactions. I know she is better where she is....but the selfish part of me hurts and misses her.  I try not to show it on the outside.

My schedule changed at work. Not too happy.  Marcey wants me there to teach every morning. She thinks I am awesome.  And Joanna wants me to close every night and interact with the parents.  So I am back to 9:30 - 6:00 Monday through Friday..... 40 hour weeks. Oh well. It is what it is and I am not going to rock the boat. I guess I should be flattered.  I wanted to make sure Veronica got more hours because she needs them.... but now I can't....don't have a say so. 
As a site supervisor I really don't feel like it sometimes.  I am not exactly sure what I supervise? lol! I guess it is just a title? Who knows.

I paid our bills yesterday. Feels good to have them all paid every month.  Lanny still wants to cut some things down. I guess I can take mom's cell off my bill. I don't know why I've been holding off. She's not going to use it.  We could cut back on some of our cable. It always is a good idea to get rid of stuff you really don't need.  My check will be coming tomorrow but I don't think it is going to be much... with the snow and all. Good thing we don't have to count on my checks to pay our bills.
lol!

I am praying Lauren feels better today. That family got the cold.  We have one kid at our school out with strep throat. Hope it doesn't go around the school. 

Going to get going for now......pray my day goes better than yesterday. It ended on a sour note. :(
