What A Day!

I was going to type this last night, but like my title says...It was quite a day. It all started out nice and normal and then after lunch hit. I was reading a story to my kids and then all of a sudden one of my kids started throwing up. Not once, but twice. I couldn't believe it. I even had the talk with all of my kids at the beginning of the year to know the feeling you get when you are going to throw up. I didn't want it happening in my room. The poor kid though, he'll probably remember it his whole life. :( After that things just went from bad to worse. The kids were horrible. As a whole class they were just awful and I was not happy with them. Many sad kiddos because they made bad choices and changed their color from green to yellow. Oh well, better to be tough than to let them get away with things they shouldn't. Then the bulb burned out in my projector and it costs $200 to replace. Then we did an experiment in Science which always turns into crazytown. At least I made it through the teaching part and then it was out to supervise carpool which is always the worst part of any day. You basically stand around and yell at kids to watch for their cars and then you get yelled at by parents because you are yelling at their kid. You can't win. After carpool it was a staff meeting and then a training at the Downtown Aquarium. I finally made it home at 8:30 and ate and went to bed. I've had long hard days before, but this one takes the cake. Thanks for listening to my venting, only 3 weeks until more vacation. :)

Apartment Updates

I said I would post pictures of my curtains when I was finished. I finally finished them this weekend. It seemed like it took forever. I'm glad that they are done. My friend from work came over to help me hang them because that was a project in itself too. So, here are the pictures for your viewing pleasure.

After the curtains...

Now, I'm just waiting for my new table. My dad is making it and I know he is getting close and that he is working on it. I thought I would post a pic for him to show him that I have the spot all ready for the table when he is finished. :)

Katrina's Wedding

I have been meaning to blog about this for a week, but I just haven't had a chance to do it yet. After I got back from Boston I went to Garden City to my roommate Katrina's wedding. I got there on Friday before the wedding and was able to help her decorate for the reception and then for the wedding after that. Then on Saturday we did all the typical wedding things going to get your hair done, hanging out, and then getting ready. It was a great day and Katrina looked beautiful!

After the wedding they had a dinner for the people that were at the wedding and then a big reception after that. I saw a lot of good friends from college. It was so good to catch up with people that I hadn't seen or talked to in a long time. It was just a great time. I had a hard time leaving because it seemed like such a short time to see so many people that I love, but of course it had to come to an end. My friend Chelsea rode back to Denver with me so at least that lengthened the weekend some and it was nice to have some company. Then it was back to normal life. So, it was great to be around friends that I hadn't seen in so long and to reminisce about our college days. I've added a few pics, but they look kind of strange because of the red eye reduction.
