School

Door decorating contest. Our favorite book was Too Many Toys by David Shannon. Ironic since my own students have too many toys....


This is the reward of reading and checking every assignment, sometimes you stumble on treasures like this. "Were from the you night of states." Yes, yes we are.

I love teaching.

35 Weeks!

Can you tell my shirt doesn't really quite fit anymore? Ah well, I am not buying new clothes just to wear for a month. Can't wait to meet this little one!!

Mystery Music

Have you ever heard a song on the radio, or in a movie, or a show and had a burning compulsion to hear it again but you don't know the artist, title, or many lyrics? The search may last hours, days, or even months but once that sound is found, happiness is found.

Yes, this happens to me frequently. It took me months to find Flashing Lights by Kanye West a couple years ago. Months. But well worth it once I found it. Turns out the lyrics were "flashing lights lights lights" not "fashion bites bites bites." I could have sped up the process if I could understand their sensual drawling voices better. It's a skill I am working on.

Anyway, just a thought on this freezing cold, snowy, day in almost May as I found another song I was searching for today.

28 Weeks

For those of you who don't have a facebook, here is a picture of me at 28 weeks. And, you should get a facebook. :)

Pop Star

It doesn't matter if I am getting fat or the kids like me better with my glasses....when I put on my sunglasses I become a "pop star."

"Mrs. Atkisson looks cool..."

That's right, sunglasses = pop star.

I was told yesterday:

"You look better with your glasses."

"You are getting fat."

Good thing they were both from 7 year olds. Otherwise, heads would roll.

I'm Having Fun

So, I love sewing. Here are some dresses I have made so far. :)
