<br />
I need to <i><b>thrive</b></i> at being a mentor teacher...<br />
<br />
I need to <i><b>thrive</b></i> at making my little shop even better...<br />
<br />
I need to <b><i>thrive</i></b> at taking care of myself...<br />

The beginning of every school year in my room is </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a time of hope, fear, frustration, joy, and triumph.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am all over the place with emotions as I learn</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the ups and downs of a new group of kiddos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I am on the hope, joy, and triumph side of the coin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My class just took their first math test of the year </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and more than half of them totally rocked it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My little one that couldn't write his name </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and only knew six letters of the alphabet</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
can now write his name and is up to 17 letters.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Small steps and huge leaps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is what I am seeing so far in this group.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is why I push, demand excellence, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and work hard everyday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It works and these munchkins learn</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that they can be successful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is why I keep at this job </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
even though some days are far from ideal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know in my heart I am helping these kids </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
get to where they need to be for the next year </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and in a small way for life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a teacher...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what's your superpower?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until next time,</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyone who really knows me knows I am a skeptic through and through,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I was intrigued by the idea of finally getting<br />
a professional banner for upcoming craft shows.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did a little research and found that <a href="http://www.signazon.com/" target="_blank">Signazon</a><br />
had a good reputation and many happy customers!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUufxCpg8yH-DfPE020FRqSf_pnSlr9jRwOAjl67mFTFmTGnxA5-1b1q4XyphBPQX6fCVWQVbBt3XWicJO8S4wr0v4IgWpwrNBKX8zzB84qMSDN-Ods1OM0lWSHpq6HUmeo1XbcN7bYXCw/s1600/Banner+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUufxCpg8yH-DfPE020FRqSf_pnSlr9jRwOAjl67mFTFmTGnxA5-1b1q4XyphBPQX6fCVWQVbBt3XWicJO8S4wr0v4IgWpwrNBKX8zzB84qMSDN-Ods1OM0lWSHpq6HUmeo1XbcN7bYXCw/s320/Banner+3.jpg" width="320" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I took the plunge and worked with Michelle at <a href="http://www.signazon.com/">Signazon</a><br />
and my designer sister to get my banner all set up.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me just say that the whole process was so simple.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I uploaded my image, proofed it, and was all set!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do recommend using a very high resolution for your banner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We used a 3960x 2640 pixel image.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was so anxious to get my package!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Fed Ex guy got a huge smile from me! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The <a href="http://www.signazon.com/custom-banners/" target="_blank">banner</a> looks amazing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The quality is excellent!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so very pleased with our banner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cannot wait to order some <a href="http://www.signazon.com/vinyl-decals/vinyl-stickers" target="_blank">oval labels</a> and<br />

Hello homeschool...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the boys are loving it, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but their dad isn't so sure they are working.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Emails of assignments show me things are going well</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and attitudes about school work from the big kid are much better!</div>

Yesterday Kenny and I tackled our first craft show for <a href="http://www.amysmonkeys.com/" target="_blank">Amy's Monkeys</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was so much fun and we met a lot of great people!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also made some contacts to do other shows </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I was invited to join a local women's network group!!</div>

Hello homeschool...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the oldest two are doing great at home.</div>

I love that they have the freedom to keep moving forward once they</div>

have a concept mastered.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are both keeping me on my toes!</div>

I had no idea I would be taking the summer off from here, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but if you follow my <a href="http://instagram.com/amysmonkeys" target="_blank">instagram</a> you know we've had a busy summer!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nik just got his cast off! He was amazing through the whole thing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For someone that had three broken bones, he sure was tough. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were gifted a chance to repaint the interior of the house,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so we jumped on it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>But, if you give a mouse a cookie...</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seriously the painting led to decor changes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on a budget of hardly anything!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thrift stores, spray paint, and serious discount hunting have been good to us!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Schemes for painted kitchen cabinets and new back splashes </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
are floating around in our heads...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It also led to major purging and organizing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which translated into we need to have a yard sale...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that is happening tomorrow!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have never been so ruthless with clearing out in my life</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it's been awesome!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are in love with all the changes,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I feel like these changes were getting us ready </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for bigger changes in our lives.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nothing official yet, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but hopes and prayers for better opportunities </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
could be answered in the near future!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The biggest change is that I am enlisting help to design a new blog </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to combine this space with <a href="http://www.amysmonkeys.com/" target="_blank">Amy's Monkeys</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not sure when that will happen,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I will keep you posted!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you made it this far you deserve a treat!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a great weekend!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until next time,</div>

The story started, "I was playing with my brothers..."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Layer that with not telling us he was hurt and I had quite a surprise yesterday morning!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nik had hurt his left foot and I knew it wasn't good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It gets even better since we already had our block of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
dentist appointments set for Thursday morning. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Poor kid had to go to the dentist before we could get him over to the urgent care for x-rays.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the doctor saw the x-rays she questioned him again about what he had been doing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Same story of jumping over a couch cushion on the floor and landing weird. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enter mom and dad guilt for having the house torn up </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
during our deep cleaning mission this week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All I can say is my baby boy has an amazing pain tolerance and patience!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So today we head to the pediatrician to get the referral for the orthopedic doctor.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully we'll get into the same doctor that took care of Luke's arm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These boys and their broken bones!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At least they give us a long break in between major injuries! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bless all the mamas tht deal with doctors and appointments everyday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It his heart wrenching to see your baby hurt!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am even more thankful for the health my boys have been blessed with everyday! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until next time,</div>

We have been in our house for almost 6 years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we moved in we tried to match the style of the model home </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we fell in love with that fateful afternoon so long ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The problem was it was a bit dark for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't get me wrong it was beautiful,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but it never felt like it was my style.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlF_mSeuI10MnsV7q1zSkqm9_EqbHrCqQMRrxXF1caYaBX8iWtRyQY-CrLsUBg4FV_NvpLA6rv0HHdtT2243nIJnsIxve6BuKRAWMRCNueQ5zqdgKwvNy-sHj6kCx_uyZRnAPsHZ2PwF8e/s1600/Before.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlF_mSeuI10MnsV7q1zSkqm9_EqbHrCqQMRrxXF1caYaBX8iWtRyQY-CrLsUBg4FV_NvpLA6rv0HHdtT2243nIJnsIxve6BuKRAWMRCNueQ5zqdgKwvNy-sHj6kCx_uyZRnAPsHZ2PwF8e/s400/Before.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now after all this time I am finally shifting back to a style that makes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my heart happy with it's pops of color and displays of things that make me smile!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since our budget is super, super tight</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all redecorating has to be done on the cheap.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thrift stores that have 50% off sales, coupons, and spray paint are my best friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk3ONcYypJrNP7EAo7wFEffz3Jj-LwNVbbNOdANAFBhyphenhyphen_WBZhy-bLRDQXtq3rV0rVnWzcJtSuZPGXcSP2s4C3DVtIGYH3EMglDUPsXz0UB9HleSd5T0GgZk7n_QNNf3_OhV-HlIk3iQQqS/s1600/After.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk3ONcYypJrNP7EAo7wFEffz3Jj-LwNVbbNOdANAFBhyphenhyphen_WBZhy-bLRDQXtq3rV0rVnWzcJtSuZPGXcSP2s4C3DVtIGYH3EMglDUPsXz0UB9HleSd5T0GgZk7n_QNNf3_OhV-HlIk3iQQqS/s400/After.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was able to get the five frames for $5.20</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the spray paint for $3.87 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Rust-Oleum~Gloss Seaside and Flat White-already had)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the mini clothes pins for $1.97 (Hobby Lobby coupons for the win)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the plant for $3.48 (Walmart)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the flower pot and coaster for $2.17 (99 Cent Store)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Photo prints $1.69 (Costco 5x7s for $0.39 each!!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had the clock, the candle holder, plate for Kenny's change and keys, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the beautiful fire engine already </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(From my beloved Mam. She was adamant we take it home </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with us on one of our visits before she passed away).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5H1DmJvJdoBciAwYbDmMB_0RE1RSVqghF0sYmJSQiX7vDtR89KAsR-BncbRo1QUKVFHjwPuBnco-Wai9ywIgx01vHwn2oIF8L_Xidnsw96G1r6R13xfNjWJO1WeuImgx8ajKb-cME1QXN/s1600/IMG_5645.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5H1DmJvJdoBciAwYbDmMB_0RE1RSVqghF0sYmJSQiX7vDtR89KAsR-BncbRo1QUKVFHjwPuBnco-Wai9ywIgx01vHwn2oIF8L_Xidnsw96G1r6R13xfNjWJO1WeuImgx8ajKb-cME1QXN/s400/IMG_5645.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So for less than $19</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was able to update our entry and give it some personality!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl4gpPLT5Qr7fbIeDxgh0GrTptzKwuiXtPANnqRxdLNDfcVPfw-HQ1e9rDNVHPu5UTOhnagtsp55wsbuMw_d1HNhHDq6tsJDUebmY4tVTo98sPEYKhIEUJWK0L9ax2b8ZJ8TNVRyZBgkIJ/s1600/IMG_5646.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl4gpPLT5Qr7fbIeDxgh0GrTptzKwuiXtPANnqRxdLNDfcVPfw-HQ1e9rDNVHPu5UTOhnagtsp55wsbuMw_d1HNhHDq6tsJDUebmY4tVTo98sPEYKhIEUJWK0L9ax2b8ZJ8TNVRyZBgkIJ/s400/IMG_5646.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Totally worth spending a little of my "egg money"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to bring some personality to our entry!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5GfD54LUtUgDzytxkBmDHx15mW_u-7bFk7WXA4TUMwOksROu7WrEAAN3Y03JKvMelepvbsCWaTalr15YVhh0pBKoC2sQdtZ6z0NAt1Cqa1oiIFjXxDMYyzHfb9dZCFPP4Qr6COLlgsror/s1600/IMG_5647.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5GfD54LUtUgDzytxkBmDHx15mW_u-7bFk7WXA4TUMwOksROu7WrEAAN3Y03JKvMelepvbsCWaTalr15YVhh0pBKoC2sQdtZ6z0NAt1Cqa1oiIFjXxDMYyzHfb9dZCFPP4Qr6COLlgsror/s400/IMG_5647.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully this summer we will be able to repaint the interior to a much lighter shade,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but that is a big project and big expense </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so we will have to see.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fingers crossed we can make it happen!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you think?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is your favorite way to update a space?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until next time,</div>

I saw a beautiful jewelry organizer on <a href="http://pinterest.com/amysmonkeys/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> a while back.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I went to the source it led me no where...boo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With the help of Kenny I was able to figure out the design</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and make my own...yay!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

When I started spring break I had grand plans and longs lists.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A couple days in I was knocked down by a head cold.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I look at it this way,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that annoying cold was God's way of saying,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>"Nope, I don't think so, you need to rest this week."</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So that's what I did,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I stopped, I rested, and I became healthy again.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Isn't it funny how our plans</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
get overruled by the One who has made the grand plan?!?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know I needed to rest and center myself to finish the school year,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but all those days of not going to school and working</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
had to be filled by something.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I could get so much done,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but what I did get done was what I really needed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do I still want to get things checked off my list?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More importantly I want to be healthy to enjoy my family and my home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Resting felt good and I am trying to not feel guilty about</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so much left on the list.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There will be time,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it just wasn't time right now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Happy Easter! Blessed be in His name! </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until next time,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

We love hard boiled eggs in the house...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so much so that I have a little plastic container labeled in the refrigerator,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just for hard boiled eggs...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
true story...OCD runs strong in these parts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The last few batches had me frustrasted</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with cracked shells and a general mess...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
don't even get me started on peeling them...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In steps my ma,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she loves to try new things and she loves learning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She read or heard from an egg guru (I know I made that up, but it fits)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that you should steam the eggs instead of boiling them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have seen people cooking them in the oven thanks to Pinterest,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but steaming, I was intrigued.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tried it today people,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
guess what?!?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It works beautifully!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's what I did...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gather the eggs, a big pot, and the vegetable steamer</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJta0MaDQDAClRb7nHmmHFZo32Kc9N6-WD6419Qb7OmSYMXu5SsEojo3lsjhvCuqYpz-AhddC26pshZMQPibHkBAfnyBRVhaOhXk2FDO-azFBHx3jC5kZgm750omDI_rSCskVuj8hx0SYW/s1600/IMG_5561.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJta0MaDQDAClRb7nHmmHFZo32Kc9N6-WD6419Qb7OmSYMXu5SsEojo3lsjhvCuqYpz-AhddC26pshZMQPibHkBAfnyBRVhaOhXk2FDO-azFBHx3jC5kZgm750omDI_rSCskVuj8hx0SYW/s400/IMG_5561.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add eggs and water to the pot</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Put the pot on the stove for 15-20 minutes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I turned the flame down a bit after the steam started up)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Remove from pot and rinse in cool water or dunk in an ice bath</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If we were having coffee...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd tell you I had a rough teacher week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Transfer kid trouble, spring fever, and yucky assessments...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
not a good combo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fun things planned for today,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we all need it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If we were having coffee...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd tell you I am so happy spring break is here!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At 2:30pm today you will see </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a school full of teachers doing the happy dance!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If we were having coffee...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd tell you my spring break to do list is long,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I really want to accomplish everything on it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If we were having coffee...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd tell you I'm making my nephew's birthday cake</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I cannot wait to see his little fingers dig in!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If we were having coffee...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd tell you I wish I could be at Luke's track meet today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is the school's standing long jump champion...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's won it a few times and now he competes against the other city schools.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes working out of town really stinks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope he has a great day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If we were having coffee...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd tell you I am ready for resting and resetting my house...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
come on 2:30!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If we were having coffee...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd squeeze you and say your turn!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How's life treating you?!?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
