My vision…

So, when I went to Teacher Tools to celebrate Brooke’s new McKinney job, I was inspired with this:

At first, I was a little skeptical, but then we went to Austin. Amy and I picked out shirts for our team which we most of us like. It’s pink and has the word WILD in zebra fabric and then at the bottom it says “about kindergarten”. My decision for my calendar wall was clear. My SMARTboard took the place of my white board (which was home to my calendar), so my word wall has been moved to my doors, my calendar’s new home is my old word wall board, and I now have a supercool replacement.

I’ll begin posting pics of my progress in my room. I’ll keep ya’ posted

Am I just being paranoid?

For the past couple of days, my chest has been hurting on and off. I think if Jonathan saw me put my hand on my chest one more time, he was going to slap me scream. He kept telling me “Go to the doctor”, but I am 27 years old and do NOT like to go to the doctor…PERIOD! I broke down yesterday and went to ECare since I the physician’s office was closed. I am convinced they were laughing at my paranoia as I overheard them talk about my symptoms. They took my blood, made me pee in a cup, blood pressure, temp., and all the other routine stuff. They decided to do an EKG and Chest X-Ray. It was weird having all these cords hooked up and watching a little paper print out of my heart activity. Needless to say, one no two no….two and half hours later, the doctor says, “I have nothing”. I was sent home and told to rest and take ibuprofen. It might be my chest wall rubbing against my lung wall because one or both might be inflammed due to a viral or bacterial infection.

Why did I share all this? Because I’m doing what I have been told to do and rest and my booty is on the couch, that’s why!

Summer is fun, isn’t it?

So, summer is off and running. This summer is different in the fact that my husband is home to spend it with me. He will soon be starting college and is working on finding a job, but I’m enjoying the time I have with him
First summer activity was heading to the Dallas Zoo.

Jonathan was such a trooper because he had caught the bug I had earlier that week and he was feeling really, really bad.

The next big thing for me this summer was going to Austin for a kindergarten conference with my BFF.
Amy followed us there since she was not going back to McKinney afterwards but going to float the river instead:

The funniest part was getting to the hotel. We were pulling up to our hotel when I spotted this:

I yelled out “Pappasito’s! It’s Wednesday…HALF PRICE FAJITAS!” and we missed the ONLY entrance to the hotel…so my excitement caused us to get back on the ramp and make a u-turn. It was double excitement because we could have “beverages” and be in walking distance of the hotel.
It was a LOT of fun and I learned SO much, but my family was very excited to see me when we got back.
Since we were gone that Friday to Austin, Fun Friday was delayed to Sunday where we went to Celebration Park. Oh what a difference a year makes…this time last year, our girls would not go NEAR the water. Check ‘em out this year

I think Garrett got Ryan to go under the buckets…haha!

Jonathan was water fighting with another child

Caitlyn throwing a fit due to a bug bite

Then finally, Faith noticed that Jonathan’s skin was peeling on his back and she was helping him out a bit

Then finally, we ended the day at Sonic for Happy Hour (so I could have a Diet Strawberry Mango Limeade)

Can’t wait to see what activity is in store for us next. I still have a To Do List:

*Make chart stand

*Writing folders done and ready to laminate

*type notes from Austin

*Sort magnetic letters in new drawer from Walmart

*Finish file folder games

*buy stuff for my calendar wall and figure out a plan of action for my word wall now
