That's what happens when you are the mom of three busy little bees! (okay, they're not so little anymore, but believe me they ARE busy!)
I LOVE my job and I LOVE those preschoolers but I so enjoyed my day off Wednesday (and today but I'll post about that one later). I had to register my teen for his sophomore year of high school. Two hours and $225 later (not including a yearbook!) mission accomplished. Then I set out to find something to wear for Mia's pending nuptials. I wanted something red (I know this is retarded and ridiculously anal but I like for us to all match, especially in pictures), something a little blingy, something not too hot or uncomfortable and something not pricey. That's not much to ask is it? Hey, if it wasn't my sister's wedding, I'd have went to the thrift store--yes, I am THAT cheap! But I struck out almost everywhere until my good friend (my daughter's bff's mom, so does that make her my bff, too? okay, a little ADD going on here) sent me to Cato's. I now have an outfit, complete with shoes. I just need to find a necklace and earrings but I'm not really worried about that.
We also had Art Wednesday afternoon and then I went home to cook. I swear my husband thinks I don't ever do anything anymore! But it's just so freakin' hot I can't get in the mood to cut that oven on and I won't do it before 7 p.m. We've always been late dinner eaters but we are now snackin', microwaving and sandwich-nighting it to avoid turning on more heat. But Wednesday, I did cook. Chicken and rice. :D
We picked up two more girls for the pep squad which is good news but now we really have to get on the ball with our practicing!
I worked on my classroom some more Thursday afternoon and then went to the Teacher store. I LOVE that store! I love the cool stuff and the way it smells and I could just spend a fortune in there. Forget clothes and shoes--give me bulletin board stuff! LOL But I actually only spent $5. I got us a world wall map for our American Girl class. Now, I did come out with more than that but that all went on the daycare's account. I did pretty good though. Even though I would LOVE to spend a lot of money, I generally am pretty thrifty and make a lot of the stuff I use. It really doesn't take a lot to impress preschoolers anyway.
Speaking of the job, we had a dinner meeting at my boss' house in Odenville Thursday night. Now you guys think *I* live in the boonies. Oh my goodness! But it was a great time of fellowship with all the other teachers. It's a good group of ladies and we have the best boss in the world. She is so passionate about preschool and so very supportive. I am REALLY looking forward to this year.
But my days off have let me know that I am ready to slow down some. I'm looking forward to a few pajama homeschooling days which should start in a few weeks.
I'll post some pictures of our outing today tomorrow! I am tired after CORE orientation and all the other things that we did today and I have to get up in the morning, clean house and make a cake for the rehearsal dinner. Yes, I know that's supposed to fall on the groom's family. But she knows I do cakes and asked me if I could make on in the shape of a Bud Light bottle (Chris loves Bud Light and I love Chris and his family so what can I say?) and I DO love to do cakes and practice so how could I say no? I'll get the girls to help me.
But it's early to bed for me tonight!
Blessings,
