May 5, 2009

I am thankful for:
1. A night out.
2. Isabelle likes learning her math facts so far.
3. New cell phones.

Goals
1. Work on supply list

I had a nice night out tonight. It was the Taste of Home cooking show today. It was fun. Nothing too exciting and I didn't win anything this time but I enjoyed myself. I have a bunch of new recipes to try.

We have a really large sale coming our way in Sept. A customer I have been in contact with for the last year has finally decided to buy our system. They won't be buying until Sept when their new building is closer to being ready but it will be 15 lanes and they have definately said they will be buying our software! That is about 2000. I was quite pleased with that!

Still working at SRMS. Still enjoying myself. I was so tired last night that I went to bed by 9. Was doing pretty well and thinking I will get lots of great sleep until first the dogs woke up at 3 and then Tim woke up and lost the screw in his glasses. I spent the next half hour looking for the screw and then putting his glasses back together. He can't see a thing without his glasses so he had no hope of finding it. So much for a good night's sleep!

You would never believe who found me! DJ LaTona! He actually sent me an email. I haven't decided if I will respond. I guess I could at least say hello. I haven't even thought of him in 15 years! Kind of crazy!

May 3, 2009

I am thankful for:

1. Friends for Isabelle to play with.
2. Movies
3. An understanding Tim when I let time get away from me and not getting dinner together.

Goals
1. Call Diana
2. Create letter for School supplies
3. Create letter for Youth Jam help

It was a really nice weekend. Busier than I would have liked but a nice weekend. Today we did our shopping and then Isabelle, Abby and me went to see the Hanna Montana movie. It was very enjoyable actually. Then Abby came to play some more. They get a long really well. To bad they don't go to the same school. Oh well.

It is another busy week. I work all week again except tomorrow and Tuesday morning. I think I am supposed to volunteer in class tomorrow though. Only two more times though. That is rather sad. Then on to helping in another class, Mrs. Milgate I believe.

May 2, 2009

I am thankful for:
1. A successful garage sale.
2. Tim helping me at the garage sale.
3. A good day of stitching.

Goals
1. Shopping
2. Home blessing.

I made it through my first week of work. I am enjoying it so far. I was pretty tired Thursday night. I was on my feet a lot on Thursday. Friday I was busy but I was smart and sat in chairs! Today was a busy day. It was Snake River Montessori's Annual Garage Sale. I actually got up at 6 so I could be there by 7:30. I am not sure what I was thinking when I said I would show up then. 6 on a Saturday! I must have been crazy. It looks like it was a successful event though. I am sure Mileen will let me know in a couple of days.

Then it was off to the bank to deposit my work money. Feels good to actually bring in some money consistantly. Then we came home, ate lunch and I stitched and watched golf for a couple of hours. Then Isabelle wanted to write a "report" so she brought down her Ocean book and the report we started earlier and her spelling box. I think read from the book and gave her some sentences to write. I will eventually have her help me restate the paragraphs in her own words but the Ocean book is kind of hard even when I read it to her to understand. She is having fun though and is at least seeing how reports are written and is getting great practice with her writing.

In between the report writing we made some bread. Something went wrong though becuase it came out rather flat. It looked like it raised well but it fell in the oven. Tasted pretty good though.

Also, Claire came over for about an hour. Kept Isabelle entertained while I stitched some more!

April 28, 2009

I am thankful for:
1. No deaths here in the US due to the swine flu.
2. Dinners together with the family.
3. Working at isabelle's school.

Goasl
1. Do zone work
2. unload garage sale stuff.

Well, day two of my subbing has gone off with out any trouble. It was still a half day. Tomorrow and the rest of the week will be the real test. That is when I work all day.
Isabelle had a really good violin lesson. She is really starting to get Anglina Baker. I think this is my favorite song so far. She almost has it down.

I actually won a pattern in a contest! During the Needlework show last week I entered a contest for a pattern from Ink Circles and I actually won. I sent in a picture and story about Isabelle's first stitching piece and being a stitcher in training. She liked it and I get a great free pattern.

Well, that is it for today. Pretty quiet really.

April 27, 2009

I am thankful for:
1. Good health in the face of the swine flu.
2. A good first afternoon in the Upper Elementary class.
3. Possible leads in with DEC.

Goals
1. Call the group in Encino
2. Change the pricing on our website.

Today was the first day of my long term sub in the Upper Elementary class at Isabelle's school. So far so good. It was a pretty easy afternoon and it looks like tomorrow should be even easier. Most of the afternoon is spent in art. So I get to do lunch, recess ( which looks to be inside tomorrow) and then art. I even managed to get all of my shopping done in the morning.

Tomorrow morning I am going to just try and reach the group in Encino and the one dr. who wants to buy our basic version. I haven't been able to reach either on.

April 26, 2009

I am thankful for
1. A nice trip to Salt Lake City
2. Shopping in Salt Lake City
3. A safe trip home

Goals
1. Weekly shopping
2. Ad for the garage sale

It has been forever since I have posted anything. I really need to get back into the habit of writing every day. I have just been too lazy. I need to remind myself that it does have to take all that long to writing a couple of things.
We spent the weekend in Salt Lake City. We had a nice time although the weather didn't cooperate much. It snowed this moring and was rainy most of the day. We went to the zoo anyways and pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. Isaebelle didn't like the empty feeling too much. She was really concerned about it actually. Like we were really supposed to be there.

Then we went to do some shopping. Tim needed new shirts and I needed some new shorts and Isabelle bought some flip flops and a hairband. Then it was off to home.

Tomorrow I start my long term subbing at Isabelle's school. On Monday's and Tuesday's I work in the afternoon and then the rest of the week I work all day. This should be interesting. I haven't worked really for more than three days straight in more than 6 years! It could kill me :) Not really. I am actually looking forward to it. Now we will see if this is something I really want to do and then see if I can work on getting my certification in the near future.

February 12, 2009

I am thankful for:
1. Subbing in Isabelle's school.
2. Community events with Isabelle's school.

Goals
1. Sub
2. Get shopping done

Between just not having anything to say, being really tired by the time I can write about my day and being plain old busy, I haven't written here too much. This week has been really busy. I have been subbing in Isabelle's school most of the week. First in Extended Day in the late afternoon and then in Mrs. Milgate's class on Wednesday, Thursday and tomorrow (Friday). I really enjoy being in the class. Although I am just not used to this whole working all day thing and then dealing with Isabelle's after school activities. So far this week we've had our monthly PTO meeting on Tuesday, 4H, gym and the kindergarten to 1st grade parent meeting on Wednesday and tonight we had the PTO Game night. Tomorrow I have to get our shopping done because it is Julia's birthday party on Saturday in Afton so we won't be home then and we are running out of food.
Next week isn't as busy after school, but I am subbing again for Mrs. Milgate. Unfortuntely her brother is dieing of cancer and isn't expected to live much longer so she is going to England for the week. I will only be in class in the afternoons this time though.
Otherwise, Isabelle is still her happy self, Tim is working like a maniac and we haven't made a sale for DEC in almost two months. That is depressing all by itself. Oh well.
