Some people are so creative and are always making some neat looking craft. I’m not one of those people, although I have made some crafts in the past. You won’t find any blue moon beads, paint, unfinished wooden craft pieces, etc., on my shopping list.  My list just contains the basics.  I know, that’s not very exciting.  However, I do get some craft item for an art project at school every now and then.

Some people don’t realize what all is involved in being a teacher. It certainly has changed since I first started teaching school. My college roommate, who is a second grade teacher, said that teaching is a lot harder than it used to be.  I totally agree!
Some teachers have a lot of papers to grade every night, and they might wish they had something like a barcode scanner, only one designed for teachers, so that they could just scan over the papers quickly to grade them. That would be a teacher’s dream!

It is a cold, windy, and wet day in north Texas.  Here it is May and the high tomorrow is forecast to be 50° which is rare for Texas in late spring.  With this type of weather, I doubt people will be using their outdoor spas and will be using spa covers to keep out any debris that these strong wind gusts are blowing around.  But in Texas, weather changes quickly and it could be nearly a 100° in a few days!

Cell phones are such a big part of our lives nowadays.  If we go somewhere and don’t have our phone, we miss having it with us.  Do you think cell phones are used for texting even more than for talking?  I think they probably are.  It doesn’t matter what type of phone people have, whether it’s Atrix or some other brand, most people use it many times during the day to text or talk.  In fact, cell phones have even replaced some people’s home phones.  We definitely depend on them nowadays!

I’ve been an elementary school teacher most of my life.  I have done a little in sales jobs, but what I really enjoy is teaching.  When I was a little girl, I would play like I was a teacher and would teach my stuffed animals.  In high school, I taught the toddler’s class at church.  It’s something that is a part of me, and I’m very thankful I have a job that is so rewarding!

This has been an extremely busy week!  I am so ready for the weekend only I have to go to an all-day workshop on Saturday which I’m not looking forward to attending.  I like to have Saturdays to sleep late, get things done around the house, do laundry, work on my blogs, etc.  I’m glad I don’t need to get a tattoo removal (I don’t have any) or any other random thing.  It will be all I can do to get the basics done!  My husband will help me, and I’m very thankful for his help!
