Therapy

I love my class so don't get me wrong here!! I have been really struggling with some of the kids this year. I have some serious behavior and medical issues. More than my fair share of kids with serious needs (six children total). The medical issues scare me!! They are pretty serious. I am baffled as to so many are all in my room (I am one of seven Kindergarten teachers)! I have had a reputation the past few years of getting some of the kids that have serious issues. Sigh! I also have the revolving door with students. I have had six come and go. Needless to say I have to have some alone time when I get home because I am wiped out. So what do I do you ask? Surf the net, hang in blogland, and scrap of course. I did a speed scrap last night and a scraplift this afternoon. I think I need some retail therapy also!

Photo Session Turned into a Good Time for the Boys

After school Monday, I was asked by Tamara at our district office to come out to her property to take pictures of her son Grant. He is such a cutie!!!






















Hop on over to my other blog if you want to see more of his preview (click here) .
Since it was right after school, the boys tagged along as assistants and when we were done, they got to do this:

My Thoughts on After the Final Rose (the rose that he took back from Melissa because he changed his mind and wants to now give it to that other chick)

Last mention of The Bachelor for this season! I promise!!!I totally get being true to yourself and your feelings. If it doesn't work out, then it doesn't work out. But to ambush Melissa like that on national television is just wrong. This should not have been handled publically! She was totally humiliated, hurt, and betrayed!! Note to Jason because I know he reads my blog faithfully, send her the ring back so she can sell it and buy a new car to make herself feel better because you now suck!

Holy Crap! Did you Watch the Bachelor?!?

So I watch the finale and I am all teary eyed thinking "Oh how sweet!" Then I watch The After the Rose Show. That was about the most uncoolest, heartless thing I have ever seen!! Yet I continued to watch it like a bad car wreck. Melissa should have kept the ring after that act public humiliation. And Molly jumping all over him after he confesses his mistake?!? "Can we spend time together...go out for a cup of coffee?" Gag!! Tacky! She should have made him sweat it instead of kissing all over him!! You know, I really liked Jason. I dunno anymore. Sigh! I think he has commitment issues! What did you think?

My Cool Friend Bryce

Here are a few pics from Bryce's session. She is so stinkin' cute! Never a dull moment when hangin' with my little friend! Hop on over to my photography blog here to see the preview.

A Quickie!!!

No! Not that kind of quickie! You have a dirty mind! Or do I have a dirty mind? Hee hee! Anywho, just a quick post (a quickie) tonight. I made a layout that I just love! According to Kiahna Grey's Anatomy is a repeat so I thought I'd scrap instead.

I threw yet another log into my fire that I'll share about soon!

Guilty Pleasures

I admit, I have a few guilty pleasures. Don't we all? I can't get enough of the Bachelor! Did you catch the last episode? I CAN'T believe Jason sent Jillian home! She was my fave! I was thinking Molly and Jillian in the end. I think Jillian would make a great Bachelorette! Did you catch the teasers for next week??? What is the real reason he is crying and why in the heck are they having a closed set portion to the tell all next week? Meeting Melissa's parents? Someone knocked up? Is he quitting the show to be with Deanna? Holy guacamole what do you think?

I don't know what it is with reality shows and me, but I have been digging the Biggest Loser. I wish I could be on the show!!!!! I need a good kick in the butt! I have been known to eat McNuggets while watching. So wrong, I know!

I have been doing the speed scraps over at Scrap Matters any chance I get. I am totally addicted! The best part is they give away a participation prize! Here's what I made at last nights speed scrap:

Happy Valentine's Day!

Showing a little love to the kids tonight! On the agenda for the evening, pizza and playing with the boy's new purchase, Rockband 2. Hope you felt a little love today yourself!!

Whassup!!!

I am so glad it is a three day weekend!!! This weekend has been busy so far. I've been playing with a new studio light and equipment. Melissa was more than happy to offer up her baby. Here are a few to share. Hop on over to my other blog to check out more of her preview.























Damian and I went to our ward's Valentine's dinner last night and afterwards, I was kidnapped by the Lee girls and taken to Color Me Mine. I made a post it note holder for my desk at school. Geez, they are expensive and my project was one of the few items in my budget! No pic sorry! It's getting fired, but I promise it is really cute! It was nice to get out and have some girl time!

I have been having a terrible time with my allergies (Jack too!). I had a raging migraine and missed church. I slept in the front room this morning as the little ones played. Nick stayed behind to help me as Daddy and Jared went to church. I finally got up at noon when Damian got home. I am a light sleeper and I usually can't sleep through ruckus. That's when Damian and I knew my headache was BAD! I dragged my butt off the sofa and did the speed scrap at Scrap Matters.

I have no plans for tomorrow, and I am so excited at the thought!!! I just have to make sure Nick gets his book report done.
