Thanksgiving

I am such a nerd I totally forgot about Thanksgiving. We had a really fun day. We decided that it is not written anywhere that you can't go out to eat on Thanksgiving and since I had done my cooking duties for the daycare Thanksgiving we went out. We went to Golden COrral and had a great family day. We came home and watched the COwboys stomp to victory. I even got out that night for the first of crazy shopping that night! Only because it was a cant pass up sale. Hope your days were good!!!

Black Friday

So I have to admit I have never been a "Black Friday" SHopper. I went last year for one thing and that was it. So yesterday we got the paper and decided to take a look to see if we could find any good deals. I did. So this morning I awoke at 3:30 to get moving. THe first deal was at Target so I pulled into the parking lot at 4:10. To my suprise there was already a line. So I stood in line for 2 hours waiting to get in. There were a lot of people who did the same thing. I have to say the ladies around me were quite nice to talk with and we all shared in the disgust of people who rtied to merge in the line 10 minutes before opening to which the wonderful security promptly kicked them out and told them to go back to the back! Yeah thank you Target!!!! I went in and got what i needed and was done in 15 minutes! I have to say I feel very accomplished for what I got at the prices I got them at Now I just need a nap!!!!!!!!!!!

Pray

So I know it sounds funny to ask for a prayer for work but I was hoping you could all help.. The state of Utah has offered a $3,000 grant for my classsroom to update and upgrade some things. The application is due by 6 pm tonight. I am not trying to be greedy but there are so many very educational toys for my room that are needed and without this will never be purchased. Just pray that the grant can go through and they will choose our application!!!!!!

Work

So since I had never shared a pic of where I work I thought I would. I took this recently of th building. It is a house that was converted to a daycare about 15 years ago.

Please Pray!

For my parents. For my mom for helping to deal with my grandfather as he slips further into his dimentia and being the constant doctor taxi and translator. For my dad for watching his brilliant father slip away. And for both of them because through all of this my brother is in Iraq serving his second tour with the marines.

Crazy Days

Rachel has officially been in underwear for about 2 weeks now and doing really well. Only a couple of accidents that probably could have been other peoples fault not hers.

John Michael had his parent teacher conference this week and he is doing well except for his handwriting. Yes mother I know, he comes by that one honestly. He is doing very well in everything else. We also found out this week that he has a cvity that will have to be looked at on Tuesday.

Rob is really busy with all the fall leagues going on. He is having a much better time with management now.

I am doing fine. Work is up and down as I have said in previous posts when you work with a bunch of women drama can ensue!

VOTE!

go vote today!!

For those of you who don't know....

Texas Tech beat number 1 Texas in Lubbock last night! WOW what a game!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pumpkins

Rob always does some amazing carving on the pumpkins and this year was no exception. Yoda was a little different this year and we had to support the "home" team.

Halloween
