kilzed

I decided to go back to the school today and take a few(yeah right) more boxes of school junk. Hubby was working out of town so i had no schedule for the day but had planned to only work until 11:00. well, I watched Jeopardy at school, ate some lunch and attempted some painting...everything that i have is so old that it has oil based paint on it and i needed some primer...i decided to call it quits and headed home but made a u-turn at kfc and headed to walmart...got some KILZ...this stuff is named correctly...it will kill a person , if not by fumes, then by all the work of putting it on and then painting 1-2 coats of the real paint....i only primed 2 bookshelves at school but have primed 4 more tonight...after 12 years of scavenging for stuff, moving classrooms 5 times in 12 years, and just making do, I decided to try and color coordinate some things...i will keep you posted as to how long this continues...I always have good intentions but seem to get rushed and just throw things together....

12:34:56 7-8-9

Where were you at 123456789 today? It will not happen again during our lifetime (or that is what they said on tv this morning) I was at school unloading and putting away some good school junk. my friend felicia came to help but had car troubles and was late getting there. I think she made it in time for the 123456789. we ended the day eating pizza and swimming and brainstorming some back to school ideas. She already has the first 5 or six weeks planned out.

Holder and Sims

she doesn't always cooperate during our pictures...

red, white, and blue monday

today was a little depressing...could be because the kiddos were gone, the sun wasn't out or i have a flex day tomorrow...made a cute whale shirt today for Sims with some matching shorts with some eyelet trim...she is certainly a clothes hog...she "wuvs" everything...they are both getting a patchwork outfit for the beach in a couple of weeks...sewing was a little touchy today...moved everything to a new place and i am a little out of sorts...i am trying to embrace change...

Happy 4th of July

We have had plenty of food, family, friends and fun the last couple of days. We swam a lot on Friday and ate some grilled burgers for lunch. We decided to have a fish fry on friday night and invited some old (former) neighbors and some of our new neighbors. We had a really nice time and the food was great. today we went out at about 11:30 and came in at 4:00..we are all really tired from swimming and sunning. Trying to make it until the fireworks at 9:30...

July 1st

this is the official day that i start my back to school depression. could be that i had a birthday last week or maybe i had a flex day yesterday and went to the school....lots of work to be done...30 boxes to be unpacked at school and a whole garage of school stuff to take over to thomas street....painting of shelves and killing of bugs...my friend fe-fe has offered to help me...she seems like she is burning the candle at both ends but maybe i can get her to "school and pool" one day this week.
the flex day at school involved punching out little cards for games for the kiddos....it took the entire day and several boxes of baggies to put them in. hopefully they will be a great center activity but they look like a mess just waiting to happen.

who would ever imagine

i have been wanting some music from the movie that i stole my name from....after playing around it appeared...hope you enjoy
