Life happens!

It sure has been a chaotic mess with my job and family lately, so therefore my poor blog was put on the back burner! It all started back in September. As I have mentioned before I am a Special Needs teacher for the High School where I live. There were 3 teachers that started out at the beginning of the school year and by week #4 one of them was put on administrative leave. That teacher is still not back so the other Special Needs teacher and I had to take on several more students and split the case load. For those of you who are not familiar with Special Education each student has an IEP (Individualized Education Plan). Preparing for these meetings and making sure everything in the IEP is being met for each student takes a lot of time and paper work. I went into the education world to be a kindergarten teacher and ended up teaching Special Education. I have been teaching it for 5 years and I have to say this has by far been the hardest year! I come home crying almost everyday! I truly am having the toughest year and it has made me wonder why I continue to put my self and my family through this emotional roller coaster that I have been on. Don't get me wrong I love parental support and teaching, but it is all the other drama that has piled up this year. I have a few parents that are horrible to deal with and have threaten law suits and all sorts of things. I am emotionally and physically exhausted! There is a Kindergarten position coming available next year and I am hoping to get it, to be able to be where my heart is. It is going to be hard because they don't want to let me out of special Education, but if they don't I am afraid i will have to find another job!

On top of my job not going well, I have had one sick baby! He started getting ear infections back in September and we could never get them to fully clear up. So on Dec. 28 he had tubes put in his ears. I thought this would be so much better, but then he ended up with respiratory pneumonia! Once we got that under control one of his ears got infected and he had to be put on antibiotics again. Then my 2 1/2 daughter got sick with tonsillitis! It has just been crazy in my life. I also am the Young Women's president in my church and that takes several hours of my time as well. So even through this crazy time in my life I have found my stress relief to be creating new projects and decorating with them. I haven't stopped crafting, I just haven't had time to put them on my blog. So hopefully now the kids are done being sick and I can find some time to continue this blog. Thanks you to all my faithful followers for understanding and sticking by me!

So enough with the pity party, Let's get on to the real party.....

1. Is all your Christmas shopping done?

work out!

2. Do you decorate for Christmas and if so when?

I try to decorate the weekend after Thanksgiving, but when

we go out of town it is hard.

3. Do you bake during the Holiday season?

Not too much, I wish I had more time to.

4. What are your favorite smells of this time of year?

I love the smell of Christmas tress, peppermint, gingerbread, and I love Scentsy's

Christmas scents!

5. What are your favorite things to do during the Holiday Season?

I love to do cookie exchanges, decorate, give out Christmas cards,

go shopping, wrap presents, sleep under the tree with my kiddos, really anything that

comes along with the Holiday season.

HOOOO HOOOO!

(as in the CSI theme song)

Helllloooo fellow HOOOOOTS!

Welcome to another week of..

Hoo Are You?

Here are this week's questions!

These are a repeat from week #14

1. Do you type on a keyboard the correct way or do you peck like a cute little chick?

2. Typically how long does it take you to get ready in the morning?

3. Do you prefer lip gloss or lipstick?

4. Do you take clothes to the dry cleaner or wash them yourself even if they say dry clean only?

5. Do you prefer Wal Mart or Target.

Here are my answers!

1. Do you type on a keyboard the correct way or do you peck like a cute little chick?

I type the correct way, but I tend to look at the keys a lot!

2. Typically how long does it take you to get ready in the morning?

If it is just me that I have to get ready, I can get ready in 40 minutes including a shower! If I have to get my kids ready too, then that is a different story.

3. Do you prefer lip gloss or lipstick?

I definitely am a LIP GLOSS girl. I never can seem to find the right color of lipstick and I make a mess with it on my teeth, not on my lips, or on my kid's faces. I just stick to the good old chap stick or lip gloss!

4. Do you take clothes to the dry cleaner or wash them yourself even if they say dry clean only?

First of all I try not to purchase anything that needs to be dry cleaned, but if I do I just wash it on delicate myself. If I had to take something to the dry cleaner it would be months to get it there and months to remember to pick it up.

5. Do you prefer Wal Mart or Target?

I LOVE Target, but the closest one to me is 220 miles away. I know sad but true.

Now it is your turn to play along!!!!

Here are the RULES!!
Here's how it will work, each Tuesday I'll post a few questions. They can be anything from What's your favorite color to What's your favorite movie.

Welcome to....

I feel like my poor little blog has been so neglected lately.

I try to make sure I have the link parties up each week

and even that is becoming a hassle.

Hopefully my life will slow down a little so I can put more time into this blog

that I run to when I need a break from being a mother, wife, teacher,listener, friend,

etc. So for today I thought it would be fun to link up your blog to

your post or info that talks about YOU! I know several people

have an about me post, so link them up.

Before I married my husband NO, but now he likes it on to fall asleep.

I tend to wake up in the middle of the night to turn it off.

2. What is your favorite technology device that you own?

I love all technology, but my favorite would have to be my ipad.

3. Do you shop the ads for groceries?

No, but I need to start doing it!

4. What are you favorite pair of shoes?

For the summertime I had these fun flip flops with super cute flowers sewn on the strap and

for winter I love my Ugg boots.

5. Have you done any fun fall activities yet?

We went to a fun corn maize this past weekend where the kids got to feed goats,

take a ride on the train behind the four wheeler, play in a shed full of dried corn, getting lost several time in the maize, and my favorite part was shutting pumpkins out of these air guns that were hooked to air compressors.

Welcome to another week of..

I don't know about you, but I can't believe it is already FALL!!!!

Where did the summer go?

Here are this week's questions!
These questions are a repeat from week 15

1. What is your Zodiac sign?

2. Name 3 things that are always in your purse besides your wallet.

3. Which magazines do you look at the most?

4. Do you pluck or get your eyebrows waxed?

5. How often do you go grocery shopping?

Here are my answers!

1. What is your Zodiac sign?

My Zodiac sign is Sagittarius! I am the Archer! I stand pretty strong to the definition given on the link I attached.

2. Name 3 things that are always in your purse besides your wallet.

Well when I actually use the purse instead of the diaper bag, I have lip gloss or chap stick, tampons, and receipts.

3. Which magazines do you look at the most?

I love PEOPLE magazine! It is my favorite. I also like to look at church magazines, clothing magazines, and craft magazines.

4. Do you pluck or get your eyebrows waxed?

I am not a plucker! I get my eyebrows waxed. I know this sounds weird but I love it. I want the pain all at once.

5. How often do you go grocery shopping?

This is a terrible question for me. I don't have a set plan. I go to the grocery store whenever. I have a weird thing about eating fresh meat, so sometimes I can go to the store almost every night. I know I am a weirdo!

Now it is your turn to play along!!!!

Back to school decorations!

2011-09-24T23:26:00.000-07:00

Can you believe it is already FALL?

I feel like every since I had my 3rd child back in April that I am always running behind.

I have done several projects this summer, but it seems like I never get the chance to post about them.

Even though school started a month ago I still wanted to show my

back to school decor!

So here we go.

There you have it. My back to school decor. I don't have time to discuss each piece, but I would like

to mention a few places I got my stuff from.

The wood connection

Thoughts in Vinyl

Eighteen 25

So even though I am late posting this decor I wanted to show you that I haven't been slacking

with my crafts, I just have been slacking with my posts.

3. Name your 3 worst personality traits!

4. Do you collect anything?

5. What is your favorite season of the year?

Here are my answers!

1. Do you prefer sweet or salty foods?
I think I am more of a sweet person than a salty person. I never add salt to my food and I get so annoyed when tons of salt get dumped on my fries!

2. Name your 3 BEST personality traits!
I am a good listener, compassionate, and honest!

3. Name your 3 worst personality traits!
I tend to be late no matter how hard I try to get somewhere on time, bullheaded (I always like to be right), and I am a people pleaser which isn't always a good thing!

4. Do you collect anything?
I can't say that I have one set thing I collect, except craft supplies!

5. What is your favorite season of the year?

I love the summer time! I love the heat and all the yummy smells and activities that come along with this season. I also enjoy fall. I love when the leaves change and it cools off a little. I really hate winter. I hate the cold and how miserable it is.

Now it is your turn to play along!!!!

Helllloooo fellow HOOOOOTS!

Welcome to another week of...

I just started teaching again this week, so I wanted to take previous questions
do to me being so busy getting my classroom ready.

Here are this week's questions!

1. What are some of your pet peeves?

2. Do you have a favorite or lucky number?

3. What is one of your family traditions?

4. Is there anything you are OC about?

5. What is your favorite kind of food?

Here are my answers!

1. What are some of your pet peeves?

I can't stand the toilet seat left up, I hate when telemarketers call, dead leaves hanging off of a plant, when necklaces are flipped around, and when people don't clean out the lint from the dryer after each load! I am sure I have several more, but that is enough for now!

2. Do you have a favorite or lucky number?

My favorite number is lucky number 7! I always had this number is sports, or when I have to pick a number that is what I pick!

3. What is one of your family traditions?

Every year we take a trip to Lagoon (a theme park in Utah)! We also open up our Christmas pajamas on Christmas Eve! We also pick a family to buy Christmas for or to do the twelve days of Christmas for them!

4. Is there anything you are OC about?

I have brown and green square plates that have to be stacked in my cupboard every other color!

I have to have all my blinds shut in the house at night, otherwise I get freaked out. The toilet paper has to roll over the top and not under! Everyone's close in their closets have to be hanging according to colors, short sleeve, long sleeve. dresees, jackets, and skirts!

5. What is your favorite kind of food?

I love Italian! Anything that is pasta is my favorite, along with yummy breads!

Now it is your turn to play along!!!!

Here are the RULES!!
Here's how it will work, each Tuesday I'll post a few questions. They can be anything from What's your favorite color to What's your favorite movie.

how did you get into it?

5. Do you have to worry about getting ready for back to school?

Here are my answers!

1. What is your favorite craft or type of craft and if you are a crafter

I love wood projects! I just wish I knew how to run a saw to cut my own stuff.

I also love anything with a hot glue gun. It is hard to just choose one, because I really love crafts!

2. What shows have you been watching this summer?

I have been watching the Bachelorette, So You Think You Can Dance, America's Got Talent,

Drop Dead Diva, Pretty Little Liars, Sweet Home Alabama, I am sure there is more but I can't think right now!

3. Who does the yard work at your house?

It depends! It seems like we both do the yard work and then my husband goes on a streak of

letting me mow the grass. I pull the weeds and take care of the flowers.

4. Are you working on any projects inside the home or outside this week?

My husband is making us a concrete patio in the backyard! I am so excited! I am going to start making over my our bedroom. This week I am going to sand and paint our dresser.

Welcome to another week of...

Here are this week's questions!

1. What is you favorite summertime snack?

2. Do you tan at all? (tanning bed, outside, spray, etc)

3. What is your favorite activity to do outside?

4. Do you recycle?

5. How hot is it where you live today?

Here are my answers!

1. What is you favorite summertime snack?
I love fresh fruit, especially watermelon.
I also have a weakness for ice cream!

2. Do you tan at all? (tanning bed, outside, spray, etc)
Sometimes! I wish I could get to a tanning bed to get a little color on my skin,
but that is impossible with little kids. I will have to go outside with the kids to get a tan!

3. What is your favorite activity to do outside?
I love to play softball and I also enjoy doing yard work most of the time!

4. Do you recycle?
I am sad to say that no I don't. We don't have any of those cute colored tubs to put things into
to recyle in the small town I live in. There is a place to drop of aluminum cans that I should
start doing.

5. How hot is it where you live today?

It is in the mid 70's here today!

Here are the RULES!!!

Here's how it will work, each Tuesday I'll post a few questions. They can be anything from What's your favorite color to What's your favorite movie.

Flag banner!!!!

2011-06-13T15:41:00.000-07:00

The 4th of July is right around the corner,

so what better way to start decorating with

this paper bag banner?

I saw this idea over at The Rachel Berry Blog

with the word SUMMER (which I made one of those too)!

Rachel got her inspiration from Blue Cricket Design!

These are so simple and add so much!

I also had to beg my mom for one of her old windows to

display it on.

This definitely put me in a patriotic mood.
