I feel spring around the corner.

Oops!

Sorry about the typo. I meant daughter in the last post.

Prom

Tomorrow is my daugthers prom and she is excited.  This will be her last prom being that she is a senior.  I will post pictures of her prom dress and her exciting day.  It seems like it was just a short time ago that my baby was starting school.  Where does the time fly, now she is graduated and enrolled in Cosmetology School at Paul Mitchell. Can't wait to post pictures this weekend. 

My youngest daughter painted this canvas.  Painting is becoming her hobby.  She is going to start selling them.

Life In The Classroom

Wake up, get ready, arrive at school to do what, listen to the screaming and yelling all day long.  I get hit, pinched,yelled at and sometime cursed at in whatever tone and language they choose to use.  I sometimes think why?  Is someone trying to teach me patience, is this a sign? What did I do?  It seems like each year gets worse and the kids get louder and more set in their ways. Please parents work with us, it only makes it harder as they get older if we don't get a grip on it now.  I am very blessed to have the children I have of my own.  I realize that you are given what you can handle and sometimes that is hard enough but I do know that it takes very special people to handle the kids we take care of.  We truly love them but sometimes feel totally out of control some days.  I not sure what I would do if I had been in the same situation as some of these families but, I do know one thing from working with them for so many years, I would teach them from a very young age so that it would be easier in the future.  

Ellie is a pomapoo and is my oldest daughters dog.  She is the cutest dog ever but don't let looks fool you because she doesn't like to listen.

Tax Dollars at Work

Today I saw our tax dollars at work. Every worker was standing around the park talking and getting paid for it. The most disturbing thing was while our class was playing on equipment a lady walks over and starts mowing the grass which is on the playground. Why wasn't it mowed before we got there, oh I forgot they were talking. Where is the safety for our children.  I also, don't appreciate paying high taxes and knowing what it is paying for. 

The Beginning

This is my first attempt to start a blog. I am so excited and inspired by others that share their talents and express ideas on different projects. I love to craft and find bargains at thrift stores and yardsales. This has become my hobby. I am just starting to get my craft room organized and searching for storage ideas.  I hope to start displaying my crafts in the next week.
