For me?

This morning went great! We had a staff meeting at 8:05 and it ended promptly at 9:00 since the kids had to be picked up at 9:05. What a good idea meeting before class, when it's time to end, it's time to end.

I also had two "for me?" moments today. When I walked into the classroom with the kids Gloria came up and gave me two cupcakes (sprinkled with chopped up Fruit Loops). They were totally melted but she was so sweet to bring them to me. Then Jeremy totally made points with me. He brought me a Felix the Cat magnet! He had it tucked into a sandwich baggie all ready to give to me. I can get used to this second grade thing for sure!

Ready or not...

the first day of school arrived. Not much fanfare on my part (or on the new principal's) I did manage to get some of the room cleaned. I didn't even go buy anything new to wear today, hmm. At any rate, even though all of D's crap was still in my way and I had boxes everywhere, we had a relatively good start. Bryan even wrote me a note. "You ar nise." Cute! I'm liking second grade already :)

Two more

So the stitching here isn't the best, but I did complete two other layouts yesterday. The first was a lift from the TwoPeas Garden back in June and the other came out of my head all by itself. I can't believe I dipped so much into the Love, Elsie stuff all in one day, LOL! I am SO a horader, not a USER but I'm trying to get over it. I'm hoping to get more done tonight and tomorrow.

Finished something

I decided that I needed to start and complete at least one project today. I can't believe I followed through. Here's my Scrapjacked layout (a lift of the fab "Today" layout Kristina Contes did). Here's my take on her work:

I actually used a bit of my Love, Elsie stash. Go me! Off to see if I can accomplish something else today.
