Free Time

So, Today was my first day of not having to go to school for work in a long time. I kind of felt lost after I dropped Abby off at her class. Luckily, a few friends were there to greet me. I helped cut out laminate and stuff folders for Tuesday tubs, then I went to a "lunch and learn" on money. I know Todd was excited I was attending this seminar!!! Not sure how much I got out of it and Todd is doing all the things they said were the right things to do anyway!!!
As you can see, I am spending my time trying to update my blog. I finally figured out how to follow my friends on their blogs. Now if only I could figure out how to add pictures at will. Tracey???

I am trying to make writing a priority, and hope to be able to continue writing several times a week. Right now I think it is time to go work on the "crap", I mean craft room and then pick Abby up from school. Wish me luck. I plan on updating my cleaning here, so look for before and after pictures!!
Yes, Tracey, I am in the process of purging and making a bigger space for you to sleep. Hard to imagine isn't it?

Here we go!

So, my sister-in-law told me she couldn't wait to see my new post, but I am feeling the pressure to write something exciting, which I know is not going to happen. Right now, I am yelling at my dog, Casey, to stop barking at some mysterious noise, and Abby is trying to get me into her pet shop that she has opened, for a tour.
So my tour as an art teacher has come to an end. I had a great time teaching the whole school and getting to know kids I haven't met before. It was a bittersweet feeling on Friday when I packed up all my belongings and wheeled them out to the car. I plan on taking the Praxis test to become certified in art. I am NOT looking forward to studying...that is something I haven't had to do in a long time, and I can already feel excuses coming on.....

I am trying to be positive and see the good side of not having a permanent teaching position. I am looking forward to running when it is actually light outside and spending some time with my friends. I want to paint Abby's room and the guest room, and I really need to purge some clothes.
So this is my first official post,very boring, but hopefully my creative juices will start flowing!!

Welcome

HELLO!!!
This is my first post. I hope to make this blog more exciting with the help of my very talented sister-in-law, Tracey!!

Stay tuned!!
