Easter Fixins'

Went shopping today for Costco spiral ham and all the Easter fixins'. Kinda nice weather which means it did not rain. Maybe hit 50 today so I put the plastic eggs on the trees in our yard. I know it is tacky but people expect it. Went to Pier I and got some smokin' deals on glasses, cobalt blue to go with my spring/summer dishes, some champagne glasses and 2 martini glasses...love that place...want to live there! Had Casey at the vet this morning for a re-check on her ears and some other odds and ends and left $183.00. In the last 3 mos. I could have made several house payments or a couple of Coach purses.
Now that I like my job and am organized and figuring it out, it looks like it my be over. Back to the classroom! I will have a job (if they don't cut us to the quick)...just don't know where or what....we should not have to grovel every year!
Gearing up for another trip to Wash. DC. Glad they passed a temp. budget. At least the Smithsonian things will be open. Leaving a week from yesterday for a week. Southwest...do your stuff and stop being the underdog with the problems.....Just saying.. Having our bathroom re-done while I am gone. May be last project for awhile. Math institute is being cut and don't make that much for teaching writing camp. It is what it is!

Delta Dog Days 3

 We have not been able to leave her alone for more than a few minutes.  UGH newborn.  She is a sweetheart and not bothered or barking at other dogs. After I worked at the Thrift shop I took her up to the pool deck and locked the gate.  She is so small  she got through the rungs of the deck.  ðŸ˜³  It is what it is.  She is so sweet but so is needy and so challenging.

Delta Dog Day 4

 Beyond belief, we both got to sleep upstairs in our bed all night!  She could not scale the new gate and settled in her crate in the kitchen around 2:00 AM.  Otto gave me the night but after she settled, he came upstairs and she did not bark or whine all night!!!   I came down after a shower, took her outside on her lead and then fed her.  Back upstairs to do my hair etc.  I heard "something" and came downstairs to find that she had opened the pantry (that has a magnet closure on it for dog/children safety) and had a bag of marshmallows on the floor, not opened thank goodness.   I blocked it with a chair but removed anything that she could get to if she opened it again (within her reach).  NOTE:  new plan for pantry.   Later in the day we were sitting outside with her and she picked some cherry tomatoes and ate them (yes I checked on Google that they are NOT poisonous for dogs).  After dinner with friends, she snatched a corncob an...

School's out, teacher let the fools out!

No more pencils, no more books, no more STUDENT'S dirty looks! What a group I had this year, eiy yie yie! I can honestly say if I never see some of that bunch again, it will be too soon. Fun party last night...too tired to sleep! Nice feeling to sleep in. ADK party this afternoon, piano lesson (may have to re-schedule), picking up new car in Ann Arbor and going to Amanda's 2 baseball games. Nice video chat with Andrew & Matt last night. They get so silly! Brian landed safely in L.A. at 2:09 our time. His plane from Philly was delayed over 3 hours. All day to go 5 hours sucks, but he is safe! Congratulations Matthew Sandoval on your middle school graduation. Have fun with your family. I cleaned out 2 filing cabinets of old 4th grade files and old materials we don't use any more. I think I filled 10 boxes to re-cycle. I didn't get my bulletin boards done for fall (who knows where I will be anyway!) or my books sorted (paperbacks). Administrative whispe...
