Can't sleep...a blog about nothing

Alright, so it's late and I can't sleep. So I figured might as well blog, but what to blog about...hmmmm. I guess I could write about my dog that is snoring up a storm in the living room or my husband who is asleep in the next room or I could write about all the things that are going on in my head. There is just too much in there I wouldn't know where to begin. I guess me staying up late is me trying to prolong the day to keep it from becoming tomorrow. Each day that passes is one day closer to school starting. Don't get me wrong I don't dread it or anything, I am just getting used to summer and summer laziness. Plus all the fun stuff is happening now after the wedding. No more stress, no more worries...it's a pretty good feeling. Geez Rowdy is really snoring. He cracks me up sometimes. Because of his nose being smashed in his face he tends to snort and snore. It's kinda cute until you are trying to sleep. He's still a little hyperactive despite losing a couple of pieces of his male anatomy. One day, I guess when he's older. Oh,no writer's block...

Where has the time gone?

I can't believe it, summer is almost over and it's time to prepare for the next round of kiddos. It is a little scary and exciting all at the same time. My favorite part is getting the room ready. Each year my room looks very different, I manage to come up with some new way each year to do things. Change is good. Speaking of change this year comes with a bunch of them: my partner in crime moved, our principal left, as did our counselor, plus I start the year off with a new last name. So like I said scary and yet exciting.

Today I went to the Lakeshore store and Teacher Heaven and spent too much money. Teachers are always buying somethig to make this years class the best ever. At least that's what I try to do. I would love to buy everything at once and have the "perfect" classroom, but thats not possible. I think after 20-30 years I'll have the "perfect" room full of tons of things that I don't even know what to do with. All in all, I love it and can't imagine doing anything else. Thank god for summer...a time to rest and relax and prepare for the next year.

Here are pictures from last years room:
