Six Word Saturday

Farewell my carefree days of summer.

I have to go back to school in 6 days, the young un in 16. Bleck! I still have a million things to do before getting my mind back in teacher mode...

I should be painting

But instead I couldn't pass up a little fabric/Goodwill/Dollar Store shopping. As for that tray, I have plans for it. And tomorrow, I promise I'll finish the cabinet doors!

On the Road again...

This blog is officially on summer vacation.

 I am super excited about my trip to Seattle to visit Columbia Lily & be crafty in cooler temps.  Colleen is joining us too, so between our blogs I'm sure we'll have the fun well documented!  

Also on the agenda... Vegas with the Mr and Dallas with the folks.  What are you doing this summer?

Has it only been a week

since the school bells rang for the final time? I've been a little busy and haven't really been able to enjoy the teacher perks of sleeping in all summer. What have I been up to?

• saying goodbye to my current class of 8th graders at their end of year celebration. They look so different all dressed up, and I love any excuse to wear the LBD!

• Chaperoning said 8th graders on the annual more flags more fun class trip. Did I mention this was the day after school let out, and we had to load buses by 6 A.M.?



• Dropping the young un off for a fun filled month with his grandparents. One request please; return him in the same condition you received him. Nothing exciting. Thanks!


• Attending a pre-AP conference that has changed. my. life. Seriously, who knew Pat Boone recorded "Enter Sandman"?


• Hiding out from a tornado in the bathroom at the ballpark... With the 2,000 other fans. Such a romantic date night with the Mr, no?


• Completely missing my bloggy birthday on Sunday. This shall be remedied!!
