No More Excuses!

Ok...so I am out of excuses....that long list I wrote about a month ago....well, I've exhausted that list and more. Now it's pure laziness. I'm actually on track break right now so I don't really have as much to do (at least on the school side of it). So I decided I would at least update whats gone on over the last, long, little while (an oxymoron I know).

First, I would like to welcome the newest member of our family...my new nephew, born on November 24. He is super cute. I had the wonderful opportunity of going to visit my family for a week on my track break. Also, spending time with family...my 3 year old niece is pretty much the cutest thing alive. She is so funny, smart, and entertaining.

My cute little nephew only 1 week old.

Emma is so stinkin' cute and she knows it!

So I spent a week away with family and then came back into town and stayed a little busy. My best friend, Jessica, was here visiting for a few days. We managed to snap a few pics!

Now Jessica has gone and I will attempt to finish Christmas stuff, clean the house, bake some Christmas goodies, and more fun Christmas stuff! I can't believe Christmas is already so close...my how time flies by!

Where have I been?

I have been slacking in the blogging world, and just wanted to update everyone that this slacking is most likely going to continue. I have too much on my plate right now to even worry about my blog-however, in my lazy moments I will still be checking all of yours. If I added trying to catch up on my blog I think I may have a nervous breakdown-so goodbye for now- I will return when I'm less stressed. Most likely around Thanksgiving-as I will be tracking out then. Just some things on my stressed out list in case you think I'm overreacting:

1. Grade a lot of papers
2. Finish report cards
3. Parent Teacher Conferences
4. Teacher Workshop at Lakeshore
5. Teach 14 girls how to sew and what to sew (after school program)
6. Many Dr's appointments
7. Maintain a home (husband too)
8. Laundry
9. Cook
10. Clean
11. Teach 16 1st graders how to add, subtract, read, write, etc.
12. Scentsy Stuff
13. Work my many jobs

The list could keep going but I'm going to get started on it right now. Thanks for understanding! Love you all!

Late Tag!

I still have to post my pics of Boston and all other happenings since then, but my Aunt did this letter tag. It was cute and so I decided I'd do it-that was about 2 weeks ago. But better late than never right?

Rules: Leave a message and I will give you a letter, then you have to come up with ten things you like with that letter. My Aunt gave me the letter

Ten Things I Like Which Begin With the Letter T- (in no particular order):

1. Time: although I always wish there was more of it


2. Timoteos- Especially one, Ezra, my wonderful husband. My husband is always happy and it keeps me happy. There is never a dull moment with him! I love the rest of the Timoteos, too.


3. Teaching- I love my job teaching is so exhausting, but rewarding


4. Talking-those of who know me know this is way tooooo true


5. Thayne (he's my Dad) and he's the most amazing Dad in the world! He has taught me many things including but not limited to: hard work, kindness, love, and much more!


6. Telephones: this aides me in #4 talking because most my friends and family don't live close.


7. Thrift Store Shopping-I'm addicted to the Goodwill- I need a fix at least once a week! Sick, I know! If anyone knows how to help let me know!


8. Tickling: not the laugh so hard it tickles, but the soft tickles on my back. Awww nice.


9. Traveling: I haven't traveled to many places but I have loved the ones I have been to they include: Hawaii, California, Arizona, Idaho (Mexico-if you count Nogales), New York City, Washington D.C., Boston, Spain, and France (a few other states but nothing too spectacular)


10. The Twilight Saga! Love it, love it, love it!
    

New York City Slideshow

Slacker Blogger!

My new name is slacker blogger. I can give excuses but nobody really wants to hear them. Sometimes I just think..I want to post but then I I have to find the camera and upload the pictures and then pick the good ones. By then, I've moved on to something else to do-probably just checking your blogs! Well since I'm such a slacker I've given up the posting highlights from each place and am resorting to a slide show so that I can hopefully catch up as I am now 2 months behind in blogging! So enjoy the slide show! New York was so much fun I could write a ten page post about it, but lets be honest, we all know I wouldn't-even though I could.

Highlights of New York in words: Broadway, mastering the Subway, Lower East Village Apt, Canal Street, Purses, Central Park, Statue of Liberty, Dylan's Candy Bar, spending time with sisters, and more!
