I suck at this blog thing

don't I? I can't believe I put off posting for almost a month, lol! I'm so frustrated, by the time I get home I can't imagine coming and posting anything nice. At least there are only 3 more days with this group and they are in the past. I'm glad every year isn't like this. Ugh.

I managed to scrap a bit yesterday at Jill's. I worked on two pages of my Christine book from Reflections and neither one is even finished. It's such slow going working on her projects but they are so beautiful when they are actually completed. I'll keep plugging away I suppose.

Talk about the queen of procrastination. I still haven't started on my report cards and they are due Wednesday to go home with the kids. Hmm, I guess tomorrow will be a great day to start. Diana and I have been scheduling CELDT so there's no time for the end of the year stuff I'm actually responsible for.

Off with me, probably for another month, ha!

Fat drag

Well, there's some speculation about that pen. Did I journal with it? Treasure it? Frame it? I might as well admit now that I threw it away because I was so disgusted with my 'heartfelt' gift. It probably didn't even write 'cause that's the kind of crap they gift us with. When I completed ten years of service I got a metal bookmark with the PUSD logo on it. Dunno where that's at. Probably in a book I started reading and didn't finish. At least I'll be able to pick up where I left off when I find that book!

Only 21 more days to go.
A 5 day week
A 3 day week
Two 5 day weeks
A 3 day week
I'm not counting or anything, ;)

checking in

Yeah~bad, bad blogger. Not much to report so why bother?

School is school. Testing is here. I'm the only one in the room that 'gives'. Too bad, they'll have two English classes in middle school, not me. I guess we'll be program improvement year 10 before long. Only 25 days or so left. Hopefully I can maintain until then.

Reflections was amazing! I have so many things to finish. I decided to work on Jamie's project first. It's all glued together, just needs journaling and it's done.

Got my hair 'did' today.

Going to scrap on Saturday if at all possible.

I don't understand how I can go to sleep early and wake up as if I never slept. I think just the thought of work is exhausting me nowadays.

Got a pen for Teacher Appreciation Day. Whoop! How did I ever hold out until I got this pen?

Out!

I actually scrapped on Friday night. I managed to complete a whole 2 layouts, lol! I used my new LabelTulip kit for April.











I took a super cute picture of Katrina on Saturday. Check it:


















She's so cooperative. I wish the 'phews could be so easy to photograph!

School is heading down the slope. Only 35 more class days. At least testing will keep Mrs. Q from my room for a while. That woman is driving me insane. She seriously should come with a Xanax scrip. Ugh.

Getting ready for Reflections . I've got all my supplies ready to go, I'm struggling in the picture department as always. If worse comes to worse, I'm cutting cardstock down and using it as place holders. I guess it's not that bad, I have the picture ready for Jamie's project, 5x7s for Shannon's class and one of the ones for Mara-May's class. I'm still debating on the pix to use for Christine's class. Her book is gorgeous, I'm not sure I have pictures to do it justice. I'm thinking there are some Arizona pix somewhere.

Well, I've got to scoot. Off to post my creations in the LT gallery.

Here are two of the layouts I posted around the web. The first is a lift of Dina Wakley's layout from the LT gallery, the second was a Jamie Waters' lift from Peas. Yep, I'm a lifter ;)

On Fire

I have gotten rid of the lazies this afternoon. I posted layouts in the LabelTulip gallery, in the StudioCalico gallery and in the KennerRoad group. I can actually resize layouts, :)

I even posted my banner, likey?

Hmm, now to tackle the bag full of papers to grade...ugh. Only 41 more days to go and the year is over. I can't believe we were told to 'work harder' or go to another school yesterday. Hmm. Did the same message get relayed to the students?

The Spring Break Blues

Egads, it's almost over and I have nothing to show for it :( No organized scrapbook supplies, clothes not hanging neatly in the closet, papers not graded and recorded. Nothing, I've got nothing.

I have managed to spend a whole day in my pajamas (last Saturday), do my taxes (ugh), scrapbook all day yesterday at the Oasis, travel to downtown Los Angeles for lunch at Clifton's and catch up a bit on my soaps (nearing the end of January's episodes, lol). Tomorrow I have more scrappage on the horizon, plus grading papers on Saturday. Easter is Sunday and then hitting the bricks Monday for work. Ugh, where did my time go?
