Poker Run weekend

I had a very busy weekend! I worked at Buffalo Run Friday night at the registration booth for the Bike Run. We passed out the shirts and pins for the bikers that had pre-registered early. I worked from noon-8pm. I finally got to sleep that night at around 1am when Brady--(who had already had a nap at his grandparents house)-- proceeded to wake me up at 4 in the morning because "he had been laying in bed for three hours and couldn't sleep" thanks for interrupting my sleep bray! I went and got in bed with him so he could fall back asleep-which he did, right away. I think I dozed a little and woke up at 5am. I had to be back to work that morning at 6:20. We had an awesome day! I just LOVE it! Bikers are so much fun to be around and are so nice! I even registered for a Harley they are giving away at Cowtown days in Baxter. fun fun fun!!! I worked until 1:15pm and then went to go blow up 45 helium latex balloons for a birthday party. My mom and I got that finished and then went to deliver them. I got back to work at 5pm and stayed until 7pm. Went and picked up Brady from the grandparents house and took him back to the carnival. I wanted to see who won some of the poker hands. I was so exhausted and really wanted to wait and watch Keith Anderson, but I was about to drop off the face of the earth. Which we ended up leaving around ten that evening.
All in all it was a great weekend! and I finally got some much needed SLEEEEEEP!

It is gonna be a LONG summer!

OH MY! Summer is here. Has it only been a week since school has been out? The boy down the street is gonna cause me to up my blood pressure medicine, I do believe! Ever have an irritating person constantly coming to your house to visit? at times they are not invited? and just pretty much knock and weasel their way in? everyday, sometimes 2-3 times a day? and show up wherever you go? and I could go on and on and on. It is going to be a long, hot summer.

We just ate at my favorite mexican restaurant, YUM! We celebrated my brother's birthday. We had cake the other day on his actual birthday, but it was a hurry up between baseball games day and was very fast and noone was able to visit. He turned 35! Oh, to be 35 again. Happy Birthday Derrel!!!

My little sis is showing and looks so cute! I am so excited they are having a baby girl!! They are going to be terrific parents! They are coming along great on their new house. The paint looks so good, it is inspiring me to finish our house. I may actually start painting again tomorrow. It would be great to finish the living room and start on the kitchen and laundry room and hallway. I want to repaint the bathroom a different color too. I painted it a light blue color to go with the shabby chic shower curtain I had bought at Target, but I am really not a blue person. I want to put new tile on the floor in a tan color and a pedestal sink and new toilet. I have it all planned if only I had my "new" job. This is my summer project.

I guess if I don't get a job for the next year I will substitute in Baxter and Miami elementary schools and then maybe when some of the teachers retire from Baxter next year, hope and pray I can get a position there. I love Lincoln school! I miss my kids! They pay better in Kansas. I think they pay $70 a day for non-certified and in Miami they only pay $35-$40 a day. Since I will have my diploma I will make more than all of this so it will be worth it. Can you tell I am excited to teach?

Graduation

Graduation went great. I still can't believe it is over!!! I still think I have some kind of project that's due the next day or that I'll be driving to Pittsburg everyday this summer. It still hasn't hit me that I am DONE! I posted pics on myspace. I have turned two apps in so far. I got my test results back, and I passed the writing PLT test but not the content. AHH!
I ended up with an in major GPA of 3.5625!!! YAY!

Something I wanted to share


I absolutely hate these things!!!
They always try to jump on me.... not away from me... ON ME!
