clouds do not equal summer

Hey all!
I've been MIA lately...have you missed me?? ;) I haven't had too much to blog about, or maybe it's because I haven't had much time to blog! I guess life has been a bit busy lately, not exciting, just busy.

I'm totally counting down the days till the end of the year...15.5!!! Thank goodness. This week will consist of compiling grades and assessing my kiddos. I loathe report cards...truly. But, it must be done! And with the end of the year comes my favorite part...cleaning! No, I'm not being sarcastic. I love purging and tossing unnecessary things at the end of the year!!

I've also been busy with a home project that's has gotten bigger than I expected. I have committed to painting...all the baseboards, trim, and doors in my home. Crazy, right?? All the indoor trim looked fine, but it was painted a cream color that made it look old. So I decided that a crisp, new white would look great. And it does! But let me tell you, it's been quite the project. I think I've been doing well though, taking it slow and going room by room. It took me a week to do the master bath and part of the bedroom (I purposely skipped the baseboards that were behind big furniture pieces, to be done at a later time), the hallway, and 2 doors and 2 closet doors. I still have a LONG way to go, but it looks great! I'll post pics when I can. :)

I hope you all enjoyed your long weekend!! I loved having the extra day of to catch up on chores and sleep. But wasn't the weather kinds yucky today?? Warm and cloudy...so not summer weather. I wish Sacramento weather would make up it's mind already. Didn't you get the memo??It's June tomorrow...I need SUN!!

Here's to a great, short week!!

My ugly PINK SLIP got rescinded today!!


WAH-freakin-HOO!!! I seriously screamed when my principal came in to tell me the good news.

So, I get to teach for another year. Thank God for that!
Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes, friends. Love you all, because it worked!!

Happy Mother's Day!


Today is the day when we recognize all our amazing mothers (which, in my opinion, really should be done EVERYDAY!). So here's to all you mommies out there: I hope you have an amazing mother's day! Sit back and relax, enjoy a day with your wonderful families, and know that you are beautiful inside and out. Happy day to all my mommy friends out there.


And to my own mother (even though she totally doesn't get on a computer to read this) you are the most amazing woman I know, and I am so blessed to have been raised by you.
Thank you for teaching me to be the strong woman that I've become. Thank you for instilling in me that education, above all else, is the most important. Thank you for allowing me to make mistakes, even when it brought tears to your eyes and tugs at your heart. Thank you for showing me that family will ALWAYS be there to pick you up if you fall. I LOVE YOU!! And I cannot wait to be a mommy someday so I can teach my child everything you've taught me.

Have a great Mother's day, friends!!
