Overdose

I think I may have overdosed tonight at dinner. I'm feeling a little woozy and lightheaded. My eyes are sensitive to light AND sound! I don't even know how that happens. My eyes literally started watering when a loud commercial came on tv.

What did I OD on? ...caffeine! I haven't had caffeine in a while. I've been drinking a ton of water and an occasional sprite, but no caffeine. Well tonight, I met Carrie for dinner and decided I deserved a sweet tea. Well, at this particular Mexican restaurant you can take one sip of drink and they come to refill. I have no idea how much tea I actually drank. I do know that I took a cup to go and drank a lot there. I seriously think I overdid it. My body is in shock!

I still think I deserved it... I had choir rehearsal today after school that ends at 4:00 p.m. I was still there at 5:00 p.m. waiting on a parent to come get her child! When she finally got there, she blamed the fifth grader for not reminding her that she had choir. Helllllloooooo!!!! She's 10! AND I gave every parent a schedule of rehearsal dates so they would know ahead of time when we had rehearsal... I'm sorry, parents, don't blame your forgetfulness on your kids. AND don't lie to my face and tell me you didn't know the child was at choir until 4:15 p.m. when we called to see where you were,especially when the child called to remind you during school... (It helps to be friends with the secretary in the school office. She can tell you these little gems of info). Anyway, I'm sending a little note home tomorrow telling parents to look at the schedule I sent home and make plans to come get their child on Thursday afternoon... We'll see how much flack I get from parents when the letter goes home.

Anyway, have a great night and weekend!!!

I.V. of O.J.

I am SICK again!!!! What is going on here? I was well all summer (YAY!) and then I go back to school and NOW... SICK! I was not able to get in to see the Dr. but the nurse asked what my symptoms were and I told her. Apparently it didn't sound like the flu because the Dr. prescribed a Z pack, which is an antibiotic and will not touch the flu. My throat is soooo sore. It feels like a porcupine is shooting his quills through my throat. Blah.

On another note, Ryan's Memorial Fly-in was this weekend. His remote control airplane club hosted the 2nd annual event yesterday and today. I was able to attend yesterday. There was a wonderful tribute flight by two of the club members. Ryan's mom, Annette, has started a scrapbook of Ryan's life. She has done a beautiful job. It looks great just like it is, but she wants to add more. Chuck and Annette's nephew and niece came up for the fly-in. It was so good to see Brian, Krissie and the kids. The kids wanted Taco Casa for dinner last night, but Annette and I thought Dave's Dogs would be better :) Sooo, we decided to go to the mall food court where we could all get what we wanted (Dave's Dogs and Taco Casa are right across from each other). My chili cheese dog was DELICIOUS!! I just love Dave's. It truly is "all in the bun".

Thank God for long weekends because I definitely need some rest. Tomorrow, Bryan and I are smoking a boston butt. Yum Yum!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

I would like to say "Happy Birthday" to a wonderful friend. She does not want to make a big deal about it, so I'm going to let her remain nameless. (Click on the word "friend" in the previous sentence)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Really?

I recovered the lost photos from my phone with a downloaded program. But now they are corrupted and won't open!!! Anyone know how to uncorrupt JPG files????? HELP!!!!!

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was transferring pix from my phone to my computer. My computer decided to freeze, so I disconnected my phone from the comp. The comp ERASED all my pictures!!!! I USED the disconnect button! It shouldn't have erased the pix! Now, I've spent the WHOLE afternoon trying to restore the pix. But the recovery system is only finding pix that I meant to erase, not the ones the comp erased for me!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!

This had pix from NOLA that I was gonna post. It also had bulletin board pix that I was going to share. And it had pix from today of Teacher Appreciation at Staples and Office Depot... That stinks!

I'm so sorry, dear readers. I will not be able to post such cute pix :(

Hope you are having a better day...

PROCRASTINATION!

Today, I am finally at home with nothing to do!! WooHOO! Well, not really "nothing". I really need to clean my house. I left it a mess when I went to my Baba's house. So, I could do that but I am just watching my DVR! I'm so lazy... I also need to go deposit some checks for Pampered Chef so I can close my party. Maybe I'll do that and go get lunch. But I have food here to eat... I also need to get at least one of my classrooms ready for school... What to do, what to do?

Well, I haven't posted in a while and figured you would like to know what's going through my mind. HeeHee! Enjoy!

Summer School

I teach an enrichment program for 6 weeks during the summer. This is week 5. Only one more week!!! Well, today was our last day of the week because of the holiday weekend.

SANDY ~ YOU NEED TO SIT DOWN FOR THIS...

I decided to give my students stickers with pictures of the American flag or fireworks. Now, this may not seem like a big deal but it is. I NEVER give my stickers away. I'm like a sticker squirrel. So, I knew Sandy would not believe me. I took pictures to prove it! Below you will see my 2nd period class. There are only 3 girls in the class and 1 is a "helper".

Sandy still won't believe that I actually let them keep the stickers. She will think I staged the picture and made them give me the stickers back! She's so silly!

On a side note, this Saturday Christie and I checked out a produce stand near Sandy's house. It was nice. He was giving free ice cream to shoppers and had a lot of samples. He was also giving away a bunch of bananas to each customer. I'm not a huge fan of bananas, so Christie and I divided our bunch. I still had mine sitting on the counter today, looking VERY ripe! Well, I hated to waste them, so I made banana nut bread from scratch!!! I'm becoming Betty Crocker. It was yummy!

Happy Fourth of July!
