What a day...

Got up 15 minutes late this morning, but still managed to take my time and get ready for work. I was actually early! Got to the school, took all the chairs off the tables, and prepared for my car riders to arrive. I found out really quick that something cosmic happened over the weekend because the four year olds that walked into the classroom this morning had lost their little minds! They drove Mrs. C and I looney all day long. I even made a little sign out of stickers that said, "Mrs. Stacy is going loco", and ended up doing it upside down on the paper! Mrs. C decided that she needed a sign as well...her's needed to say, "I Quit". She is so funny. I am enjoying working with her. At lunch today I even had to keep one of my kiddies awake. He falls asleep every day! I even went so far as to pull his chair away from the table so it would force him to sit up and not lay his head on the table, but the boy slept sitting up!!! I was so glad when naptime rolled around. I didn't want to wake the 'angels' up for a snack! I somehow managed to make it through the day, so score 1 pt. for me!!!

Dress!

I got my dress, I got my dress! Sadly I cannot post a picture of it because the hubby reads my blog. I will post some wedding pics after the big day though, so it's all good. It was fun trying all the different dresses on. I enjoyed that part of my day. I am just glad it is over and I have the dress. I go for my final fitting in April and luckily that is an annual leave day so I don't have work! :-)

On a totally different note, I did not want to get up this morning. Spring 'arriving' three weeks early has thrown me off. I don't know about anyone else but I enjoyed my extra hour of sleep, and giving it up was sad! Oh well, I don't have a way of getting it back so looks like I'll be going to bed earlier! :-)

More at Four!

Somewhere down the line someone decided that it would be a good idea to put 4 yr. olds in school. Today I started my More at 4 gig! They are extremely cute, adorable, you name it! They also have more energy than I do, and I don't want to hear the words 'Ms. Stacy' ever again, lol. I do enjoy working with them though, and have that to look forward to for the next two months. Tomorrow is Grandparent's day for Pre-K and K at school and I have that to look forward to. We're also going to be eating Pig Slop since we are reading 'The Three Little Pigs' this week. Pig Slop consists of chocolate pudding, gummy worms, and M&Ms. It is been hilarious threatening the kids about taking it away too. Mrs. Crump and I have been having to do this all day. Everytime one of us turns around we hear the other saying, "You better lay down and take your nap or you won't be getting any pig slop," "stop rough housing or you don't get pig slop." What a horrible sounding threat, but these little tikes really want that pig slop! We also got a new little girl today who does not speak English! So we were running back and forth to the internet playing with an online Spanish Dictionary trying to figure out ways to communicate with her. It is interesting to say the least!

I am feeling better today as well. I was so worried that I wouldn't feel like going in to work today, but I am so glad that I was able to. I am still a little tired from my 24 hr. bug, but other than that I am back to my old self! Mrs. Happy-go-Lucky! I don't think my hubby is back up to par yet though. He has had a fever the past few days and has just been BLAH according to what he says. Too bad I'm not there to take care of him, sniffle!

And I am excited about my picture consultation tomorrow. I can't wait to get the guy booked and have that out of the way! Exciting exciting!

Urrgg...

This week I am getting a lot accomplished, but I am sick! I was suppose to have taken over a maternity leave today, but I have an icky stomach virus. Needless to say it is not a lot of fun. I'll start that tomorrow. I'll only have a two day week as well since Friday is a teacher workday. No complaints here!

On a bright and sparkly note, wedding plans are starting to come together. Took care of the cake business last night, so a big CHECK there. Flowers are being taken care of, CHECK! Going to drop Chloe's check in the mail tomorrow for the invitations. Dad and I have a consultation with the picture guy Thursday afternoon, and Linda and I are going to get a dress on Saturday. Dad is taking care of the Rehearsal dinner so that is one less thing for me to do. So now I'm down to looking for a caterer and some candelabra's for the sanctuary. Of course there are the small things for the reception that have to be taken care of like utensil's and things, but we'll wait on those for a bit. I'm just glad things are falling into place. I don't feel as stressed out anymore. Don't get me wrong, I am still plenty stressed it just isn't as bad. Now I just need to find a pianist. You'd think that being a music major I'd know plenty of them, but I really don't. So gotta check on that.

Now if only I could shake this bug I'd being doing perfectly!

good times

I had loads of fun yesterday at Jess's. After her *jewerly party she and I went to take a look at her new house and see if the construction ppl had done any work there this week. They had put in her new kitchen cabinets and had done some work on the counter tops. Overall things are getting done. It is going to look beautiful when they are finished! I'm happy for her. I also got to see the lunar eclipse last night on my way home from her house. I had to pull off the road to look at it, but it was worth it.

*I wanted to buy everything in that jewelry catalog yesterday, but I practiced some self-control. It was Lia Sophia jewerly, and they have some of the cutest necklaces and earrings. Well, everything they had was cute, necklaces/bracelets/earrings/rings/etc, but I mainly looked at the necklaces and earrings. I also took a look at some pieces that Jess had that I would be able to borrow. I will definitely be hitting up her jewelry box!

Jewerly Party

After today I am really looking forward to tomorrow. Today consisted of me babysitting some high school students who thought that I was "one of them". I hate to break it to them, but I am most certainly not "one of them." After I left the one school I scurried over to the elementary school I am going to be working at for the next 6 weeks. I spoke with Mrs. W about what to expect with the 4 year olds that I am going to be working with. They have so many rules they have to follow! She was really great about simplifying things though, so I won't have to worry about doing everything that she does now. I am actually looking forward to that challenge now! So I didn't get home until 4:30! I had time to scarf down a slice of pizza before I had to make the weekly run to the grocery store for my Grandmother. Once I finally made it out of the store and got home and put things up for her, I practically ran out here to Dad's for computer time. I was in such a huge hurry, and when I tried to open the door I found it locked. Grr...So I had to go hunt down some keys for the house (yeah good luck with that one!). Found some keys and ran back to the house, and just as I am getting to the door my Dad drives up! Anyway...moving on...

Tomorrow is going to be such a fun day! I get to go visit my best friend who is having a jewelry party. I don't plan to buy anything, but I am going to go visit and take her the cd with my wedding music on it. It'll be so good to get away and see people I haven't seen in a while. I'll also get to listen to the radio. Silly as that may sound I love to listen to the radio and the only time I get to is when I'm taking a trip somewhere. :-) Hurray for roadtrips!

Taxes

H & R Block got $131 this morning from me for filing my taxes. My dad paid $87 just like everyone else. They made me file as married/filing separately. Grrr...I also had to call to Finland, well have my brother call to FI, so I could get the hubby's SSN. I think it is crap myself having to pay so much esp. when I don't make very much. Sad to say but last year with the 2 jobs I work I made right under $7000 for the year. Yup! That is all. It is a wonder I ever have any money. Uncle Sam finds everyway possible to take it from me!
