Snow take 2

I generally like people but I want to punch someone. Better yet, I'd love to lock mcCrory in a classroom with 5 of the worst children for 30 minutes. During this time he should test 2 of them, teach a new concept and all kids master it, all in addition to a list of normal tasks to complete. Maybe then he wouldn't propose such hideous plans such as the latest. Pay new teachers more but don't increase pay to any other teachers. I haven't had a raise in 6 years, maybe more. They also want to take away our tenure. I don't usually call people stupid but he's stupid. 

Visit a classroom for 30 minutes and see what tune you're singing. Show us some respect, please! 

Tree

Turning the Christmas tree into a winter tree was nice at the beginning of January. Not so nice the beginning of February when you decide to finally take the tree out.  

Birthdays

Guess my posts from January never showed up? 

Celebrated Mom and Pattie's birthdays in January.

Cousin

Helped shower my cousin Maggie as she will welcome a baby girl in February.

Remembering

Did a little decorating today. Christmas canon came on while I was stringing these bells to use as garland as did the tears.

 MeMe made these years ago; missing her and Pa.

Found Fall on a run tonight. Love, love! 

Fall

Finding Fall on a walk with Pattie. I don't usually take my phones on walks, just on runs. Thankfully I took it tonight.

Peace

I sit out here in my "sunroom" listening to the birds chirp and watching Pattie run from one window to the next thinking she's going to catch a squirrel this time. This was sort of the junk room once I moved in and realized part of the roof leaked. I still have high hopes for this space though. Right now I sit in a camping chair with my cup of coffee and a feeling of peace. It's a makeshift sitting area but it works. I'm right where I'm supposed to be. 

Still Time

There's two weeks left to vote. Remember you can vote once a week. Thanks again for your support.

Bargain

I bought a brand new dress at Gap. It was 80% off and I had a $20 coupon. I ended up paying $0.31 for it! That beats anything I've ever found at goodwill or thrift stores!
