Day off

What exactly is a day off?? Is it a day off from my paying job? Is it a day off from my mom/taxi driver job? What does it really mean and where do I sign up? I am taking the day off from my teaching job tomorrow in order for me to help set up the annual mother's luncheon at my eldest sons high school.... It is truly a mad house of activity. If I had a crack-berry phone I would post pictures, because truly no one ever believes me when I tell them about how it all comes together. So suffice it to say, I will be working hard on my ditch day from work....
Back to making costumes and props for my younger sons school play.....

Rain??

It looks like we are going to get some rain. What happened to sunny California weather?? Oh, and we are supposed to have a baseball game today. We shall see. At least I got the making lunch supplies bought this morning early. Nothing like standing in line at the deli counter before having breakfast.....you can sample any of the delicious luncheon meats for free..... I love the 98% fat-free honey smoked turkey breast.
The sewing room is about finished....here is a picture of it yesterday before I started. I will post the finished picture later. Great day for all...

Hmmm....

So today I am in the sewing room cleaning it out of some of the stuff that I don't use. There is so much. I already posted about the excess yarn on my facebook and have a home for it. I love facebook, I knew I could get an answer to the yarn dilema.
I made some new napkins on Easter morning for the crowd that came over. They turned out cute. Simple, but happy...
Back to the grind....

Back to work tomorrow....

Today is the last day of winter vacation for me. I must go back to mold young minds starting again tomorrow. I can say that I am ready for the classroom again.

I have spent today taking pictures of new items for my etsy shop and will be posting them later today.

Another beautiful day in Southern California....

New Year....New blog....

Well, tomorrow is the last day of my winter vacation. I am sad.... I wish I could stay home and tend to my house. I love my job teaching small children... but it was nice having the last 3 weeks off. I am sure I will feel better once I get back to work.
I also listed 10 new items on my etsy.com site. Check them out, I will be listing more over this weekend. I have renewed vitality in sewing and also posting items to the site. Well, it's off for some hot chocolate.

Happy Thanksgiving....

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I have many things to be thankful for.... I have a family I love, a beautiful home, I am healthier than I have been in 12 years, I have a job I love and I have wonderful friends. So, think about it for a little bit.... and have a great day. Remember what Thanksgiving is really about.

More Blog Neglect

I really am a slacker blogger. I was truly trying, however life rushes on and work can be a challenge. My work has been challenge as of late. But, since I am not a public complainer, I will just say that I can't wait until this school year is over and I get some fresh , polite, kind, caring, willing to work hard, and eager faces next year. I do have many wonderful kids in my current class, but sometimes they suffer because of the "civilizing" I must do on a minute by minute basis with the few who don't seem to care about others. I do reward the great ones......
My weight loss journey continues and well I might add. I am down 89.2 pounds as of last Sunday. I am excited because my 25 (26) year high school reunion is this Sunday and I was over 250 pounds at the 20 year reunion and am super excited to be able to go and look way better than back then. I will post pictures later.
