Spring Rains and Fever

Well, I know spring isn't quite here yet, but we have had the spring rains from you know where. It rained for almost a year straight. My students were getting cabin fever because recess was inside everyday, and they weren't able to go outside to play when they were at home either. Finally, Monday (yesterday) the sun came out. Now it's suppose to be almost 80 degrees out today and over the last week it hasn't been over 45 degrees. It's craziness.

Kids now are getting sick. I am catching a cold and lil one is now sick. I thought Ohio weather was bad... geesh!

Today is also Mardi Gras!!





So, happy FAT TUESDAY to those who are celebrating and for those who are not, have a great TUESDAY!!!

Just remember, Easter is about 40 days away!!!!

Life as Me

Well, life as me today was crappy. Tuesday seemed like Monday. The kids were driving us batty. I guess them having 3 day weekend will do it. They didn't want to work, listen, or pay attention. This is the last week of the 6 weeks too!! NOT GOOD.

Anyway, teaching wise, was a bear, but I was tired too. Lil man is really trying my patience. Between potty training, colds, and oter things, I don't know if I am coming or going. I can't wait for Spring Break. March will be soooooo long w/ no breaks and TESTING too! UGG!!

I hope everyones week started off better than mine.

PEACEMAKER




You Are a Peacemaker Soul



You strive to please others and compromise anyway you can.

War or conflict bothers you, and you would do anything to keep the peace.

You are a good mediator and a true negotiator.

Sometimes you do too much, trying so hard to make people happy.



While you keep the peace, you tend to be secretly judgmental.

You lose respect for people who don't like to both give and take.

On the flip side, you've got a graet sense of humor and wit.

You're always dimplomatic and able to give good advice.



Souls you are most compatible with: Warrior Soul, Hunter Soul and Visionary Soul

HO HUM

Well, the Seahawks didn't win :( Those pesky Steelers won :( I didn't get to see much of the game, but my students sure filled me in on Monday morning. Some, were calling the Steelers cheaters, others were saying the Seahawks didn't show up, and others didn't care. I just laughed and said, "I guess the best team won." They didn't like that.
Now, I have to look up things for the Spelling test bonuses. I was using games for them to earn bonus points toward their grades. They really were into it. Now, it's HO HUM.... We shall see what happens next

As for the rest of this week, it's been up and down. The neck spasm isn't any better, hubby is gone on business for the week, and lil man is really trying mommy's patience. Any takers on taking lil man???

Have a great weekend everyone. I will try to post more, but with hubby gone, it's hard to do it all.

HUGS!

The hospital from *ell

Well, I have had this shoulder problem since 11/04. It's a combination of muscle spasm to extreme pain. I have been trying to get a referral to a chiropactor to get to a massage therapist. So far, no go :( I can't take the pain and discomfort anymore. I can only hope to get there tomorrow AGAIN!!!

If not, I am going to scream bloody murder for the entire weekend! Speaking of this weekend, it's SUPER BOWL TIME!! Just a quick poll: Who watches the game for the game or do you watch it for the commercials???? Just curious. I watch for both. We're having a few people over for the game and can't wait to see the STEELERS GET BEAT! Being a Browns fan, I loathe the Steelers!

GO SEAHAWKS!!!!!!

Life without football

Today is a very quiet day. No football to watch, no racing going on, no real sports to tune in on the television. UG! I have cleaned the house upstairs, and I am finishing laundry when I am done here. Maybe today we will get more done than usual. We shall see. Things here are going good. Just waiting for rainy season to be over!!!! Have a great week ya'll!

These are really funny.... at least I thought so...

READ ON:

Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old
fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying:
"Free to good home. You want it, you take it". For three days the fridge
sat there without even one person looking twice at it. He eventually
decided that people were too un - trusting of this deal. It looked to
good to be true, so he changed the sign to read: "Fridge for sale
$50". The next day someone stole it. Caution! . . . . . . . . . . .

While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent
which direction was North because, he explained, he didn't want the sun
waking him up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the North?"
When my brother explained that the sun rises in the East, (and has
for sometime), she shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up with
that stuff". . . . . . . .She ALSO votes!
==========
I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I
got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center
was open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7
days a week." He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to
end the call quickly, I said, "Uh, Pacific" . . . . . . . . .He ALSO votes!

My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we
overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about the
sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the shore. She drove down in a
convertible, but "didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car
was moving". . . . . . . . . She ALSO votes!

My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were
discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases. The

He ALSO votes!

I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman with a nose ring
attached to an earring by a chain. My friend said, "Wouldn't the
chain rip out every time she turned her head?" I explained that a person's
nose and ear remain the same distance apart no matter which way the
head is turned. . . . . . . . . My friend ALSO votes!
=========
I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to
the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never
showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a
trained professional and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked me,
"has your plane arrived yet? ".

While working at a Pizza Parlor I observed a man ordering a small
pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would
like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He though about it for some time before
responding. "Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry
enough to eat 6 . . . . . . . . . Yep, he votes too.

Now you know who elects the politicians !
