If we were having coffee...

I'd tell you I am so thankful it is Friday!

It has been a busy week for me!

If we were having coffee...

I'd tell you I had to give a presentation to my fellow teachers this week...

I'd also tell you I am not a big fan of teaching adults...

but I survived and had a positive response!

If we were having coffee...

I'd tell you the wind was in the air this week...

that translates to crazy kids at school!  

We are doing test prep, so that is not a good combination.

If we were having coffee...

I'd tell you I thought I messed up my sewing machine,

turns out replacing the needle made all the difference.

I am so bad about remembering to do that!

If we were having coffee...

I'd tell you I am so ready for a free weekend!

I need to seriously restock the freezer with breakfast goodies...

my poor boys have gotten the short end of the stick lately.

I will fix that!!

I'd hug you tight and say your turn!

How was your week?

Coffee Date {rough week}

Transfer kid trouble, spring fever, and yucky assessments...

not a good combo.

Fun things planned for today,

we all need it!

He is the school's standing long jump champion...

He's won it a few times and now he competes against the other city schools.

Sometimes working out of town really stinks.

I hope he has a great day!

If we were having coffee...

I'd tell you I am ready for resting and resetting my house...

Coffee Date {survived}

If we were having coffee...

I'd tell you I made it through conferences!

It is a busy week and my voice pays for it

and I am so glad it's finished!

If we were having coffee...

I'd tell you my transfer student is settling in just fine.

Everyone at the school has noticed 

his dramatic change in behavior.

Structure and routine were all that he needed.

So thankful for the support 

I have had this week to make the transition!

If we were having coffee...

I would tell you Kenny has been 

on a house cleaning rampage 

and I LOVE IT!

I was planning on doing it over spring break,

but he has jumped on it already.

It is so nice to have clear spaces!

If we were having coffee...

I'd tell you I have a bunch of sewing to do this weekend.

I've been prepping this week, 

so hopefully the sewing goes quickly!

If we were having coffee...

I'd tell you I really want some new bedding,

but I have been hesitating to get it...

It's on sale until Saturday,

so I better decide quickly.

My current bedding is almost 6 years old and ratty,

so it's time.

So hard to spend the money,

but I know I will love it!

coffee date {just breathe}

If we were having coffee...

I'd tell you this week was a whirlwind!!!!

Yes, four exclamations worth!

If we were having coffee...

I'd tell you school was crazy town this week.

A schedule change through all of us into a frenzy

and the kids were maniacs a bit wild!

We survived, I learned some new things, 

and my class learned a whole bunch of new things.

Today, maybe, we can breathe.

If we were having coffee...

I'd tell you my blue-eyed boy had a great birthday!

Bless his heart for wanting cheesecake,

this mama loves cheesecake too!!

If we were having coffee...

I'd tell you I miss my bestie deperately

We got some emails in this week,

but time together would be great!!!

If we were having coffee...

I'd tell you I am all ready for conferences.

It feels so good to have everything all set up!

Sunny forecasts are raising my spirits and my bike is ready!!

I'd tell you my boys were loud this week.

Sunshine woke them up and they were "battling" 

every. single. day.

I love them, but there is no volume control.

If we were having coffee...

I'd tell you I surprised the boys on Valentine's Day.

Donuts from the donut shop for a sweet breakfast.

I'd tell you waiting and not knowing if there is a new job 

out there for me

is hard!

two of the boys next year is being reaffirmed everyday.

It's going to be hard and wonderful all mixed in one!

The best part is they are excited.

If we were having coffee...

I'd tell you to watch this kid's TED talk...

so good!

Why did I ever stop doing that?

It was so good to write a little note and send some love to special ladies!

Sunshine is here, so we have to take advantage.

Fresh vegetables in my backyard?

Yes, please!

Coffee Date {brave}

If we were having coffee...

I'd tell you I was brave this week!

I turned in my paper work for a new teaching position for next year.

This is big for me...

I am super comfortable and happy where I am teaching now,

but commuting has gotten to be too much.

A change is needed and I pray I can make the move.

If we were having coffee...

I'd tell you kids and teachers at my school 

were dropping like flies.

The flu and this super cold virus has hit us hard.

My poor class has looked out of it all week!

If we were having coffee...

I'd tell you I am sewing this weekend!

I have a little project for another teacher

and some things I want to finish.

I have to get back in my groove!

If we were having coffee...

I'd tell you I need to seriously sit down and scratch out

a to-do list.

I have a bunch of things I need to work on,

so I better write it down.

If we were having coffee...

I'd tell you Lukas is going to science camp soon.

Kenny and I are not thrilled with this idea,

a week without the blue-eyed boy...

not our idea of fun.

He, however, will love it,

so we will suck it up and let him go.

If we were having coffee...

You would get a big hug and 

 I'd say your turn!  

Catch me up on you!

If we were having coffee...

 I'd tell you I finished the steroids for the crazy immune system issue

and lived to tell about it.

I'd tell you when you start a new medication

you get everyone else's horror stories about said medication.

Not cool.

my family thinks that is the perfect time to come have

long conversations...

like moths drawn to flames I tell you.

It makes it so hard to stay focused.

If we were having coffee...

I'd tell you I had to give a presentation to the other teachers Wednesday

and sit in a meeting with a whole bunch of educators Thursday.

Being with adults is harder on me than being with kids.

but a three day weekend should solve that problem.

If we were having coffee...
