Ahhhh....The Weekend Has Arrived!

Today is the day that all "normal" teachers await. It's Friday and all the kids have gone home! This has been a very fast week and a lot of things were accomplished at "THE POND." :)

My classroom has been over-run with frogs!

We are very excited to have a weekend with no plans! No where to go, no one to see, nothing to do...Ahhhhh. We're planning on taking it easy and if we decide to do something then so be it. Well, I guess we have stuff to do (cleaning the house, doing some painting, laundry, grocery shopping, practicing), but.........

Just a "mitten"...

While working with one of my students, I asked them what a period stood for. Their response was, "It tells you to wait for a mitten (minute)."

Spittin' and sputterin'

Well, mom is back home from the hospital, but not cured. They still don't know what's wrong with her. She is scheduled for a colon-whatchamacallit. (No clue how to spell it). Pray they will figure it out! She's tired of being sick as this has been going on since January.

On the lighter side...on Wesley's way back to mom's he ran out of gas! He is very notorious for this. He was able to coast into a Meijer gas station. He has a very bad reputation since he ran out on our very first date.

..........back a couple of years ago...........

We were on our way out to eat and to do some shopping somewhere around his house. I had no clue where we were since I hadn't been there. He knew he was low on gas, but typical guy...next thing I know we're pulling off the side of the interstate stranded. He decides he's going to hitchhike back to the previous exit. I didn't like that idea, so I decided to sit in the car. (Neither one very safe)! He was picked up by a semi driver and the whole time he was gone, I stayed lowered down in the front seat praying we'd be OK. It seemed like hours before he got back, but it didn't take all that long. He got enough gas and we made it to our destination. I guess it was meant to be for us to be together since our first date proved to be interesting and I stuck it out. :) NEEDLESS TO SAY...I ALWAYS CHECK THE GAS GAUGE WHEN I'M WITH HIM!

Merry Christmas????

Consider this your first Christmas card! You may wonder why I posted this since it is only the beginning of September....This is what I do while I'm waiting on my incredibly SLOW internet! I enjoy looking at everyone's pictures, but they take a long time to come up. SOOOOO.....I might as well use my time wisely! Multi-tasking is my middle name. My husband cannot do more than one thing at a time. Me...sometimes 10. Guess it's all part of being a woman. So, instead of just sitting here, I'm busy making my Christmas cards.

Oh and you should know...while I'm making them, I listen to Christmas music! (It's the most wonderful time of the year)!

Prayer Request...

Mom was taken to the ER today and admitted to the hospital. She has been sick for months off and on with flu-like symptoms. Whatever it is she can't get rid of. I just talked to her and they think it might be something with her colon. Pray they'll figure it out, so she can stop being sick!!!

Labor Day Weekend

Hope everyone had a good R & R over the weekend. Wes and I enjoyed Debbie's company. We also enjoyed having Mom & Rachel for part of the time too, but they couldn't stay as long. :)


We didn't come up with anything very diff to do, but at least Debbie didn't have to go shopping. We did have a good time playing games, baking friendship bread, putt-putting (Wes won), staying up on Sunday till midnight and going to Steak 'n Shake, and playing tennis ( or should I say running after a tennis ball).

Today was back to school and thankfully it was a good day!

Family Pictures

My mom and sisters were able to come over this weekend, so we all got dressed up and headed out to take pictures. This proved to be very interesting...we headed to the park, but they were having a concert. So we headed to Cummins around their fountain. When we got there the street was empty. But, wouldn't you know everyone headed to the concert began parking over there. We got a lot of stares since we were dressed alike AND since there was no photographer. We had the camera set up on a tripod and then used the automatic timer. I'm sure everyone was getting a good laugh out of us sitting there staring at a camera and smiling with no one behind it. :)
