Busy Day!

Well these days my days are pretty much the same. Wake up, get ready, go to school and work, work out and then come home. Same thing today. I was able to get a big project done at school today because our laminating film FINALLY came in. For those of you teachers out there I'm sure you've heard of the artist. D.J. Ekers. She makes some REALLY cute stuff with flowers, insects, trees, etc. I bought one of her big bulletin board sets to use on top of the lockers in my room. I laminated it all today, cut it out, and then hung it. The thing that takes so long is I like to tape things up first in case I want to move it around. Once I have it placed, I go back and hot glue it down. Yes I said it, I hot glue stuff on my walls at school. Its almost necessary to hot glue because you will come in everyday and find something laying on the floor if you just use masking or duct tape. Anyway, here is what the end result is.
I just love the little sun shine and the lazy daisies, as I call them. I think it turned out well. This is also a good picture to show you the new ceilings we had put in over the summer. If you saw the ceilings before, you would be AMAZED at how much better it looks. The lighting is so much better also.

So after working at school (and going for a much needed pedicure), I went to Wal-Mart to look for new baskets for my classroom library. I wanted to really get good baskets that would be durable and last me more than just a year. I made the mistake of using cheap ones last year and they were busting up before the first semester was over. These baskets are those white ones with gray handles and holes in them. I'm sure you've seen them. They seem like they will last a long time! I sure hope so because I bought 23 of them and it cost me $57 bucks! I don't think I will need ALL of them for the library, but I can use them elsewhere also. Oh and if you are wanting to buy some of these for yourself....don't go to the Collierville Wal-Mart because I bought all they had. :)

Lastly, I'm gonna ask for special prayers tonight for myself. I'm waiting to hear whether or not I passed my final casting call in order to go to the September workshop for Jazzercise. I've told myself that if this is something that God wants me to do, then it will happen. I'm not worrying over it, I've put this totally in His hands. So I guess in your prayers just pray that what should happen, happens. I'll let you all know what happens, and hopefully it will be good news!

The next few days will be busy. I plan on working all day tomorrow and then Houston's birthday party at the spray park is on Saturday. I got him TONS of moon sand (sorry Mandy) and a jumbo Diego coloring book. This is just for his spray park party. "T" will take care of him for the family party as well.

Well, I'm off to cut out more lamination. Hope everyone is doing well!

Happy Blogging!
