Another gorgeous day and learned a lot to top it off!
Peace and fabulousness.
I took on the challenge of being creative at least once a day for the year 2012 using color. Looking back at all the pieces from 2012, I realized the ones that stood out and gave me the most joy, were the creatures (sad frog, the monsters,...) 2013 was the year of creatures. This year (2014) I'm continuing with the creatures but making them around the theme of children's stories/nursery rhymes. When all the characters are finished, I'll assemble them into a story picture.

Day 82 (813)
Ah Sunday! It was a day of whittling down my to do list, tackling a task I have not been looking forward to and a day of catching up on some reading. I think my to do list at work is much much bigger but thanks to being organized, it should get done, unless a shiny object or squirrel passes by then all bets are off! :)
Peace and fabulousness!

Day 79 (810)
To do list is finally starting to look like it's getting done. Although at the same time its getting bigger, especially the grading. Got my eBay package in the mail and it awesome! Oh! Happy Spring! As I was taking the first graders to lunch (via outside)I told them that it was now officially spring! Many broke out into dance, a true expression of Spring!
Peace and fabulousness!

Day 74 (805)
Spent most of the day shopping! Love it!!! It's fun when you have gift money and gift certificates use!
The afternoon consisted of the past colliding with the present, leaving me feeling quite anxious and unsettled, like a caged lion. Not sure where this will lead.
Peace and fabulousness.

Day 73 (804)
Another successful student exchange day with Holy Name of Jesus school. Their 1st through 3rd graders came to us and our 4th through 6th graders went to them. Today I did beading necklaces with over 260 students divided into six different groups. It went as well as expected. Grateful for the gift of being organized. But I am so grateful the weekend is here.
The now what's sometimes can be a silent and isolating place.
Tomorrow = shopping!
Peace and fabulousness.

Day 70 (801)
The negativity is getting beyond icky and the things people are doing without regard for others is frustrating. But like I tell my students, going to worry about myself and be gracious with others.
Today's piece is a cross between spring and the abominable snowman.
Peace and fabulousness.

Day 69 (800)
Wow! I can't believe I have been doing this for eight hundred days in a row!
Today was gorgeous out! Went outside with the chair and read a book in the Sun listening to the birds and listening to the water drip of the eaves. Simply beautiful.
So tired. Between the time change and forgetting to take my sleep aid last night, I barely got much sleep.
Thank you Spring for finally showing your beautiful face!
Peace ans fabulousness.

A fun day of teaching. I was so tired too. And a little dizzy, but not sure why. Also not sure where this creature came from. She's a bit odd but oh well, especially the scrawny legs.

Day 64 (795)
A wonderful balmy 24 degrees today. Good felt so unbelievably nice out. I hate bringing up weather so much but after this winter every little warm up is so beautiful.
Students must be feeling it too. They seem to be in pretty good spirits. Even my most challenging kids had a little twinkle in the eye today.
Teaching is definitely a marathon job.
Peace and fabulousness.
