I Am a Criminal !

I am a rule follower. I do not take risks. I am pretty straight and narrow. Well, I was until Thursday at 4:20p.m. I am now a criminal.

I was given my first ticket ever. I was parking my car to go get my hair cut. I looked in my rear view mirror and saw red flashing lights and a police car. I was on my cell phone... which is a BIG NO NO!

The police officer knocked on my window and I said, "I know why you pulled me over. I was on my phone." He left the car and I just knew I was getting a ticket. I have been driving for over 20 years and this was my first experience with being pulled over. I am VERY mad at myself b/c I am not one to talk and drive. I hate when I see people doing this. Now I am guilty!

I decided to plead not guilty with the hopes it will be reduced to a parking ticket. I am not looking forward to having to go to court, but I can try to get the fees reduced.

I will NEVER talk on the phone again. In fact, now I will just shut the phone off when I drive.. to avoid any temptation to answer the phone!

It's Sunday !

Friday............ Already!

Friday: A day that most people love, but for a teacher on spring break Friday has come too quickly!

I really enjoyed my week off from teaching! I relaxed as much as I could. I went to dinner with two of my teacher friends. I took an afternoon nap one day! I scrapbooked. I worked my part time job the last two mornings. I enjoy my part time job, it goes by very quickly!

I find it hard to believe that on Tuesday morning, I will be getting up to go substitute teach in a classroom for two days!

Where oh where did my vacation go ?

It's Sunday Night !!

Who Are You?

I stole this question from another blog. I thought it was pretty clever. Thank you alreadypretty.com for the idea !



Who Are You in Five Words ?

Choose 5 adjectives you would use to describle yourself to a stranger.

1. Stubborn

2. Sarcastic

3. Creative

4. Diligent

5. Perfectionist


I wonder if this would change if I was actually out and asked this question!

Slowly Getting Better

I have been house bound since Sunday. I am feeling a little better, but still not 100%. I do feel the need to go be with the world, but being that I hate when sick people are in public, I am going to stay home one more day.

In order to satisfy my need to go out I am online shopping. This does not mean that I am buying anything, but I do have a gift card burning a hole in my wallet. LOL. I love to look at all sorts of stuff online. It gives me ideas for new ways to organize, scrapbook, and dress. I helps me "shop in my house." This of course is very important in these budget driven times. (Although, I have always been a budget/coupon queen - who doesn't love a good bargin?)

A Tough Tuesday !

I am sick! I am not happy!

I do not like coughing all night long & losing sleep!

I will be happy when my medicines from the doctor kick in and this darn cough goes away!

I am also not happy b/c there is snow outside! It is April! I want my spring weather back!

Missed My Sunday Night Post

I missed my Sunday Night Post. I was under the weather all weekend and felt a little too grumpy to post my happy thoughts! I am mad that I am sick. It happens twice a year b/c I work with germy kids. I actually thought I had made it a school year without my second cold! I usually get it in February! I wish I could go one school year without getting sick. It has only happened once and that was five years ago! I think I am due for another sick free school year.

SO here are my happy thoughts. (Trust me... this is not easy this week)

1. DH taking care of things when I am sick!
2. Taking a sick day and not feeling guilty about it!
3. Being Cozy warm on the couch
4. Hot tea soothing my sore throat
5. My spring break week starts on Friday!
