So work is crazy, back to full time Title I aide (well 75% but that's an entire different story) and computer labs. Started on August 16 & 17th with training for a new program at work Discover Intensive Phonics. This of course is in addition to new programs already on deck to start this year! (PBIS, Lexia and from last year RTI)Add to this my coworker sent our last packet for Summer Reading August 10th. So that means that I truly had about a week of summer break without work!(spent the rest of the summer taking care of Mom)Not complaining at all...SO all these programs were slated (note I said slated) to start the 23rd of August. Well Lexia and Discover Intensive have computer components to be used in my labs. They just got up and running (crossing fingers) this week. SOOOOOOOOO that means I am so far behind in general ! We also had in this time frame a Book Fair and DIBELS testing. Not to mention my building went from 7 aides to 3! OY! My room got remodeled over the summer, and I have yet to take everything back to work. Someday I may be able to park again in the garage!
My little sister and her husband welcomed their third daughter on August 29th, Sydney Pallas. Now all of August (including my birthday) I kept guessing her date of birth...only for her to decide to hold out to the last minute! If she was not born by the following Monday (30th) she was going to be MADE to be born!LOL. This summer,I sent via Amazon more baby gifts to people than ever before!
My Mom is still not in good health, I wish I could wave a magic wand and she would be a healthy productive 62 year old. Instead she reminds me of a 80 year old. I have said Parenting a Parent is not fun at all, especially when said parent does not have the will to try! Having lost Dad, it makes me even more determined to get mom on track!
As for Scrapbooking, and creative things in general...I have been using my supplies for work (will share pictures when I get a chance) I need to find some creative time for me! Well there is some background to some of my status' on Facebook !(the only way I seem to keep in touch with people these days) I am participating soon in a Blog Hop (a surprise baby shower for someone) so will get to be creative AND use my blog again! So catch you again soon!

Free at Last
Boy am I glad this school year is over. I still have a few things to finish for work, but my coworker and I agreed that I can take my time. I am so far behind on things I just do not even know where to start on the massive to do list...any tips and tricks to get myself going ....It felt so good this morning when I woke up to know that I did not have to go to work.
Now to tell you about the big project I had been working on since March. My coworker. friend also my former 4th grade teacher retired at the end of this school year. She brought in her scrapbook where she had saved all 37 years of her class photos. A few of us decided to try and contact some of these former students for their memories. Then we would turn it into a scrapbook. Here is the photobook. We gave it to her last Friday. Thanks for looking catch you later!

4 days and 1 hour until
I can breathe again...it just seems that work this year has been a whirlwind from start to finish, and other things that I enjoy have gone to the wayside. Other things that I do not enjoy so much but need to like cleaning have gone the wayside too! So 4 days and 1 hour until school lets out for the summer... In the last few weeks, I have learned that things will be quite different there next year, and I am not 100% behind the change. The Boss says we will know our schedules before we leave, but last year I had mine in hand, and since then 8 major changes occurred! So a little apprehensive!
Now other things going on, I have been so busy can't know for sure if Ralph as left my car. I got the huge project done for a friend that I have been talking about. (My facebook friends got a sneak peek) I will share next week with you guys here, after the friend receives the project. I have last minute entries to make a mini album out of, then that will be a big huge sigh of relief!
Puppers will be 1 year old on June 4th (will do a look back post on that day) but he has to remind us this week that he is such a huge part of our lives. Wednesday after work I came home about 4 and walked in from the garage, to nearly pass out from the smell ...puppers had gotten sick in his crate. 2 hours later, he seemed fine, ate great (remember back in January he was not eating, lethargic etc) ok so thought ok must have been a bug. I had Thursday off (was to go down south until my DEAR aunt and uncle took a vacation) so instead stayed here just in case. No problems what so ever. Then yesterday mom called at work (she goes in later on Fridays since they no longer publish on Fridays) said no sooner than I left puppers started to do his parakeet bark ..high pitched get me out of here..he got sick again outside...and then when I got home at lunch just the same as Wednesday night..except that this time after clean up, he REFUSED to go in his crate! After a few more bouts of the doggy flu at 5 pm he went back in his crate...(You do not want to force a dog as then he will fight it all the time) so Thank God I have my coworkers to step in, so my usual flying home lunch time lasted the rest of the day. Mom even flew home to attempt ....Since he skipped a day, the vet thinks he may have gotten a bad bag of doggy food. Not expired but just different enough to affect him..I pray that is all it is (we got a new bag from a different store and will try it) as that is the only thing he consistently ate over that period of time! OY OY
Well off to do a billion and one things ..thanks for listening to my sagas ....Catch you later!

Wacky Wednesday
Early Dismissal at 1pm today at work...blowing and drifting has started already, but at least the roads were ok ...not happy with the semi that drove on my rear...but here's is the view from my window at work about 10 am when I was trying to decide to go home for lunch or wait ..I waited..right before I left went to talk to Supt. and he mentioned that since it is going to be a high of -3 tomorrow and Friday 2, do not be surprised if he calls school off both days...Praise the Lord if he does, as today was brutal walking between the two buildings....well I am off to catch up on some things..Catch you later....
ETA: at 6 pm, got the call off tomorrow! I say call Friday as we have Monday, call it a mini vacation..now remind me of this when we are still in school come June!

I got them at Oriental trading, and need more, it would cost an arm and leg to get them here from them before next Wednesday...Michaels, HL or Joanns...anyone? they are 3" cubes...but I guess that does not matter...as everyone is only getting one...using my stash to cover them...will post when I get more done...which I'd best get to it..If you have any ideas where to find more, while I hate to go make a special trip to find them, I need more (as I miss counted coworkers)...*Sigh* Well Catch you later!
