School is in session....2014-15 Bring it!

This has been a BUSY week...
It started Sunday with doing a trunk show with my friends from Simple and Sassy. We had a good time and sold a few things. They sale this adorable t-shirts. I had more friends buy these. I had enough for a personal order. I think I sold close to 20 of these T's. :)
 I have started back to school. Which is a new school district so I actually have been working lots and having to go to lots of extra stuff-Ugh! I had to go back July 28-July 31 for new teacher orientation and new hire induction, then august 1st was teachers forst day back. It was great meeting my new staff.
Then on Monday August 4th we had a district wide PD with our dept. The day was almost over and I got a call saying that Cole seemed to have an ear infection...double ugh! So I left and called the dr. We were able to get in and it was in fact a BAD ear infection. I was just blessed that it happened at 2:30 instead of 7:30 that way we were able to get to the dr and get some medicine. Poor guy is just so pitiful with these ear infections. It just kills me. Hopeful we will not have to get another set of tubes...guess we will see.
Waiting at the Dr all Pitiful to feeling better with donut holes!

Then Tues and Wed were PD days, Thursday was a work day in our rooms, then this past Friday was our first day with students. I am in a new role this year as a 7th grade teacher...MIDDLE SCHOOL! I know I can barely believe it myself. Like I have been telling everyone that ask me...I am awkwardly excited about it. Which I guess is a good way to feel since middle school is such an awkward time for kids. Friday I felt great and got a really good feeling about this school year. I am ready for the new experience and challenge. One thing that will take some adjusting is getting up so early. School starts at 7:30 and I have to be there at 7:15, but with traffic I have been told I need to be there by 6:50 am! although I am hoping it will be nice to be done at 2:37 pm too! I am hoping I can beat traffic with those times.
Me on the first day with kids-Bring it!


We had a great day! Looking forward to next week of our first full week! So then Saturday my girls from college came in as we celebrated Mac's bachlorette party Saturday night. We went to Cabana's for dinner. It was so great to see everyone, but too short. We were an interesting looking group with 3 very pregnant girls. This is Katie's first baby, bay girl Jordan Lee. Then Nneka with her second girl, Karmyn and Jennifer with her 3rd, Bo. How fun! They are all 3 due within 10 days of each other. Now I am just waiting for the phone call that they are all in labor together. :) I have not been up so late in a LONG time. I am too old, but we had to take advantage of our short time together.

A few of us on the elevator at 3am coming home! Hot, sweaty and tired :)

This was Cole telling me Friday night how his week went...LOVE THIS KID! He makes me smile and makes me feel so loved everyday. He is truly the best. I also got things ready for my first consignment sale. So I am excited about that and to see how I do. Whew! What a week. Hoping this one coming up can be a little slower. Guess we will see!
Thank you Lord for these wonderful blessing in my life!
