6 more days and a Giveaway!

 

 There he is, lurking in the shadows...

What made it worse, was that my 1/2 became a whole day. So after I went in this morning and got a new temp- we were alone! Yes, alone...

But I had such restraint! 

{actually, I went to the back to take a nap, so I didn't even think about him....too much}

Truman and I cuddled up....we were warm and cozy...

And then I woke up and went cuckoo crazy on Tpt....

{If you know the MR....please refrain from sharing that tidbit with him}

We will be making a trip to Office Depot to purchase  more of the ink this weekend!

Since you are all done shopping the big sale- you are probably all wanting to feel a little better.

What makes us feel better than seeing our name and  comment and the random number generator in the same post with the words "WINNER!!!"?

There isn't much that tops it...

I have it on great authority that there is a HUGE giveaway coming.....

it is big

Big! 

BIG!

And I have the honor of being asked to participate!!!!

All we have to do to get this thing rolling is get my buddy, Staci, to 100 followers.....!

 So- what are you waiting for? Get over there and follow Staci- the sooner she gets to 100, the sooner you get to enter...

I Can't Take It!

Do you see it?
It's mocking me...

It just sits there and stares at me...

Like he KNOWS I am not gonna make it...Like I have a history with packages or something...

Remember when I tried to take  a day off during the holidays, to peek at my presents....

(For the record, I DID not look- I was very surprised when I opened my gifts)

SURPRISED I DIDN'T GET CAUGHT......YEP YEP!!!

{totally kidding.....maybe}....in the words of Bugs Bunny "Ain't I a Stinker???"


TIme for a Cheers and Jeers~ {remember TV Guide?}

Cheers!
I had a half day today!

Jeers!
Cause I had to take my oldest son to the Dr for a strep test.

Cheers!
It was negative!

Cheers!
I get ANOTHER half day tomorrow!

Jeers!
Cause my left cainine temp broke AGAIN! Apparently in my sleep, because I wear the retainer all the time,..... this time, I don't know where the temp is......they are going to have to make a new one:(

I want to leave on  good note, so...

Cheers!
I have a cart full of great centers and units on TPT!!! Can't wait to check out after midnight!

Buddies, Beauties, and Boxes

Hi- Diddley-Ho, Neighbors!

So much to share, so much to share... I wish I had musical notes clipart... then I would put them in a clipart bucket and then I could carry a tune in a bucket!!!! hardy har har!

First, let me introduce you to the "man" behind the blog, the one who keeps me going...
the one without whom none of this coziness on the couch with a laptop would be possible....

Squirrel-friends meet Truman. Truman meet Squirrel-Friends. He is a jealous guy and sometimes will put himself between me and the computer.

 His real name....no offense to my patriotic partners is "Hairy A** Truman"...Get it?
But we only call him Truman:)

He is my bud- always at my feet, in my lap or by my side. {He is trying to sleep right now, but I am bugging him}.

Next- check these out:

Even just the box got me excited!

From The Valentine Blog Exchange Day 14...My Package came today! {I love getting mail}

 They are so pretty! Thank you Theresa and Alissa from Primary Princesses...Head over and check them out:- Cuteness Galore!)

And the stars must all be aligned- because that was NOT the only thing I recd in the mail today....no it was not the 500th Explanation of Benefits from Chick-a-dee's Holiday Hospital Vacation....although I could wallpaper the office with those.....
do they realize that they aren't really explaining anything to me? They have written the same thing on the same piece of paper like 20 times and there is "what the Dr charged" and "what the Ins allowed" and "what I owe" and "what the ^$%^*&....."

OVERLOAD! TMI on those things- just send me a bill {so I can consider paying it} :)

Anyway....this was in my living room when I got home today...

Holy Macaroni! That is a B.I.G. box! 

It has my name on it.

It is kind of heavy.

It is for my birthday.

It is not supposed to be opened until next Wednesday!!!! Are you kidding me?!?!?!?!

Oh, I want to make that last line disappear.... I don't want to see that....

I want a neon sign that flashes : OPEN ME! IT'S OKAY! NO ONE WILL KNOW IF YOU OPENED IT EARLY!!!

Except for the fact that it is from my mother-in-law and I may or may not have encouraged her to read my blog a few times. And if I open, of course I am going to have to take a picture of it, and then
I will be TOTALLY busted!!!!!

So I have to wait.......bite your nails with me ladies and we'll get that sucker opened in one week......{Oh Dear Lord, I won't make it}


OK, now to take my mind off if this:
 {It's staring at me}

My class made Mrs. Cupcakes Sweet Tooth tooth and toothbrush craftivity last week....
I decorated the door today- no camera at school, so crappy phone pic......

Let me get closer and see if you notice it before I tell you...

Do you see the guy in the sunglasses? Remember Team George? I stopped him before he added the fangs!

Some people think this is the example that I made....not so ...it is from one of my boys....the one who saw the "Big J.C". in the squiggle...yeah, that one. He is awesome!

And I leave you tonight, thinking I will go brush my teeth immediately after this post....why? Because of the Hitler Tooth!

We should all be scared of Hitler Tooth!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday.....

KRYPTONITE!!!

Ahhhh...can you hear that?

Shhh....listen closely-

That is the sound of everyone in my house sleeping {pooch included} except for me.

"Why isn't Miss Squirrels sleeping?" might you ask...

Well, sit back and I'll tell ya~

Cause I spent all day sleeping and avoiding getting my work done! And then I got on the "bloggity blog blog" Google Reader and I got stuck!

Stuck? "How did Miss Squirrels get stuck?" might you ask...

Well, I'll tell you that, too~

It's because I have no willpower when it comes to the Freebies, and the Giveaways, and sharing and the ideas and, and, and....{dramatic pause}

Blogging is my kryptonite~ It keeps me from doing all things  that other people think are important!


The round of final evaluations has begun at school! It's the UNANNOUNCED {nounced, nounced} - that was an echo....
Instructional {al, al} - another echo for effect.

I should be more worried- I should be frantically writing and typing and printing~ but you know what? I am just gonna {in the words of the great JWWOW} "Do me"... I am just going to do me, be me, and let it go.

I have been observed twice for Math and once in Science, so my calculations indicate that someone should be showing up for Literacy Block anyday now...

There- that part is done. I feel better.

Speaking of feeling better- I have gotten used to the retainer...
Only a week and a half! Whoo! hoo!

I was cutting the MR's hair yesterday and I sneezed....then a minute or so later, I ran my tongue along my teeth and I had to have him look. Is it still there?
Nope!
It flew right off when I sneezed!
So then I was like Velma on the ground, but instead of looking for my glasses, I was looking for my retainer!!!!
{Let's just pray there is no sneezing during the Eval!!!!!}




I have pictures of the Nursing Depts visit to the class for Dental Health (will post later) and some cute teeth we made: totally got the idea from Pinterest

Apple slices, marshmallows, and a thin line of spray frosting (it is supposed to be peanut butter, but I have pb allergies in the class)...they turned out so cute!!!!!

And now it is getting down to the wire- I have to finish my work, but before I go-
I found "Color Splash" on Photobucket .....this is a pic of the MRs grandfather at a 4th of July Parade in Smalltown, USA

I just think it's so neat!!

OK, I can't put it off anymore...I must finish up
Have a great week!
