lookie, lookie
i had a blast this weekend! who cares that my kitchen floor is all tore up! literally from the floor up! (ok, well maybe i do care!) but it didn't stop the weekend from happening! i needed those few days away from school and i got to spend time with lots of family & friends.
on friday c & i went on a date! parent's night out at school made this one possible! it was nice, i was tired and sleepy from a long day at school, but we still took advantage of the evening!
then sat. morning was the usual teeball/soccer games. although that was one cold morning so i guess the other teeball team didn't want to play, our team had like 5 lil' players show up at 8 a.m.! then we went to c's bball scrimmage, it's interesting watching the hubby be in charge of the team now, go Head Coach go! then i was able to spend time with the stampin ladies! yep, hung out with Penny, Carri, and Barb! that was really fun! i found out i have a blog stalker! cool! so now just for you Carri, i need to remind myself to post more often! i really didn't want to leave, but i had j's teacher coming over to babysit so that we could go over to my star sis' 30th shindig @ her house. i really wanted to stay home b/c it was chilly out, you know one of those nights you just wanna stay in. but that's my star sis and i just had to go. we hung out there and had lots of jello shots! yummy ones too! my friend's mother was having a little too much fun with those shots! everyone had to keep an eye on her, she was hiding them in her pockets of her jacket!
on sun. we laid in bed for a while and then got going, made ham & cheese omelets for the family and then off to c's grandmother's house to celebrate his grandfather's 80th! came back home to do some cleaning/laundry and here ya go! back into the swing of the wk again! i did find this cool site that i wanted to share with you all, the stalker in particular, just in case she hadn't seen it....tracy's corner
btw, the water damage story....
on sunday we had water under our washing machine. we moved it, cleaned up the water, re-adjusted the hoses and figured that was it! WRONG! the hose was the cheap rubber ones and it had a slow leak where it connects so on monday night after work/dinner i walk into my pantry and hear squishing water under my steps and water seeping out of the laminate floor boards and it has bubbled up like so....

bummer, right before the holidays too! and it all depends on our insurance person and what they decide as to what happens, we may get the floor matched so it'll be laminate again. which i would really not like to have for the obvious reason, that damn particle board just absorbed that water right up! if they can't match it, they may say to total it out and get a while new floor. another possibility would come into play if the cabinets got damaged too! so now we play the waiting game. it could take up to a week or a month to fix depending on the damage!

In SC!!!
i'm loving being here in sc! it's so beautiful. i've meet lots of tallygals at this tallyrally and spending time with Rhonda and Jess aka tallylibrarian has been a blast. i hope i can do this again soon. i almost took the cake with spending the most $$$. jess of course beat me by $8. i really took advantage of spending $$$ on scrappin' stuff. i've been wanting the amy butler tote, i've seen it at hobby lobby before too. i coulda used a coupon on it, but i always have an excuse. well not this time, i picked it up right away. partially b/c scrapbook creations had a coupon that could be used on for 40% off your next purchase on your next visit. well, i had no shame and made mention of "when's the next time i'll be near sc and drop in to use my coupon????. the coupon said the next time you visit and technically the first time i was there was fri. night and my next day was sat. so i used the coupon!!!!
one other thing that made my trip was a cute little waiter at ruby tuesdays. i know, i know. no biggie, he just called me sweetie and sweetheart a few times and i ate it up. is that bad???? NO! but i enjoyed the extra attention. i think it has alot to do with me hitting 30 soon. i'll take the younger generation flirts while i can still get them. the mango margaritas were awesome too! we ate at a cool hibatchi place too. that was off the chain, i've never been so it was a great first, i ended up eating some great shrimp with some fried rice.
it was supa cool to meet people that i've been getting to know online. i've never done anything like that before either. it's always cool to meet other scrappers, i like to say i'm a people person who is better at getting to know people in person. sometimes it's hard to just throw yourself out there but as a few posts ago, i'm trying to get better with that right???? yep!
i gotta add that cute sidebar thing that has everyone's blog. i need to make sure i can keep up with everyone that i meet at the tallyrally!!! oh, before i 4get, the pics will come soon, i'll upload them when i get home, i fly back tom.
oh i forgot to mention that i walked outta there with 13 or so mini albums, wow!!!!!! how am i ever gonna do all those????? jess claims i'm the mini book queen. how many have you seen me do? i'm sure i agree with that comment that was made before i rec'd all the mini's. well i guess i have to be now huh?

Already Oct.?
yep, tom. will be here soon and Oct. will hit me hard! I'll be turing the big shhhhhh...... 3-0! oh, oh! My ds will turn 4 a week and a day after that and I'll be headed to SC for a visit with one of my best friends and to meet up with some new ones! yep, the Tally Rally in SC will be here next week! I leave on Thursday night and won't get back home until Mon. this is going to be an exciting trip for me. i feel kinda of funny meeting up with the some of the tally girls, being that i've only known them through tally. (which i tend to not get on as much since school has started) i've been really busying teaching pre-k. i've been making all kinds of things for my classroom. slowly, yes very slowly it's getting to where i'd like it.
sometimes i feel that i don't share enough with my buddies online. it's hard to let it all out. i always feel that i have a professional job with teaching and have to keep some kind of private life. you know not let all my business out there. you hear those stories about some teacher did this or that. sometime the situations get blown outta porportion. but i'm gonna be better at sharing. i have to promise this to stick to it!!!! lol
other news: the marathon training went out the window when i got my foot done. it needed a while to heal and then before you knew it school started and i was floored by all the things i needed to do to get my class adjusted, my teaching routines, etc. i've been a busy bee. i have not scrapped since Aug. 22nd. C-R-a-Z-y!!! i'm in a dead scrappin' spell. i've gotten a few mags in the mail with not much inspiring. I love to get into online galleries to help the mojo flow, but the computer time has been used to check myspace, clean out my email inbox, design document for classroom centers, get ideas from sites for school, and printing them. i've managaged to pop into some blogs and get inspired to share more. how often do you blog? maybe i can find a happy medium that fits my lifestyle.
j started t-ball and soccer on sat. he had his first practices of the fall season. then his second practice yesterday and today. big game day coming on sat. he has an 8:00 t-ball game and then 9:20 soccer. kid will be 4 soon and he's ready to go with both sports. i'd never push him in to both. he asked if he could, we explained that the games would be on the same day and probably one right after the other. didn't matter much his mind was made up. hummmmm...., wonder where he got that quality from????
tata for now, i think that has to be one of the longest posts in a while. i have to make up for not posting anything in a month and a half!!!
by the way, i'm hoping to take up a new form of exercising, my lovely friend Marty-Mar will assist this with me. Read her blog and you will get the hint!
