What happens in Vegas.....(is better therapy than 20 hrs on the couch)

Mama needs a break
I'm outta here
A quick trip to Vegas
2 nights and very little sleep
Dancing, laughing, some poolside
Where being me is permitted.

Pictures from Vegas always strike me because of my smile
It is a real, genuine smile.
It is not the forced, tight lipped, tense jaw smiles of most of my pics.
I am off to Vegas to smile

Life: It goes on

I am incredibly organized, task related, multi-tasking, efficient, and capable. 
(yesterday the world worked against me on these things, 
but today I woke with another chance to get things done) 
I am resilient, stubborn, and determined- today, you are mine!

Oh just stop it- calm down and try to stay real!

(people are getting on my nerves lately)

I understand teaching morals and values and having a sense of who you are and passing that on to your children.....but I am wondering if some people are getting a bit too carried away.

(insert cute cartoon of guy w/ ripped pants- blogger is getting on my nerves too it appears!)

Case in point (I have several, but will stick with this one) I had to run a new pair of jeans into my teacher husband this morning because the back side of the pair he had on ripped (about two inches.   from the side of the pocket and down) nothing showed- he tucked his shirt in further to cover anything and called me. I was there by the end of class.  He was changed and fine before the next class period.

He is certain he will get a phone call from the principle on the issue.

Why?
Because some student will go home and blow this up to their parents.  Instead of the parent saying- wow! that must have been embarrassing for Mr. S. they will call the school and file a complaint. 
Seriously.

I mean come on people!  Haven't we got a bit crazy?  His brand new pants tear after he leaves for his school day.  It is an honest mishap, and that is all (one that was resolved quickly)  He was not trying to cause undo harm to any students.  Calm down and let's stay real here!

As I said- I am wondering if some people are getting a bit too carried away.
What do you think??? 

Comment Anon if you want, but I'd like to hear your opinion

Dreams (mine are odd)

My husband woke me up right in the middle of kissing John Travolta this morning. John was laying next to Michelle M. a girl I graduated with and had just seen at the class reunion.  John Travolta looked like his Pulp Fiction days (of course!). 

Prior to that I had been walking down the hall and met Gina who up to a few years ago was Greg (I think all of her surgeries are complete now) Gina was walking down the hall with her former male self Greg- we were in a school and headed different ways. 

Before I saw either of them I had accidentally walked into a boys bathroom where I told one of the boys to make it in the urinal before leaving to find the girl's bathroom I had been in search of in the first place. On my way out the door the boys got into a peeing fight in which I got spray- ack!



Heading down the hall after running into Gina/Greg the transgender person, I walked into a classroom that a concert was going on. I will spare you the (odd) details- I will just say it ended with the lady I was with getting thrown up on by the lead singer, and us having to leave so she could change her clothes. 

Which brings me back to where I was kissing John Travolta...... he must have been in the house we went to get new clothes at.

yeah..... dreams.....mine are odd.



p.s. I have not posted very many of my own photos because my laptop is in repair and I just do not want to add any more photos to the desktop (which is already an issue.....(1) that there are so many on desktop (2) I don't take the time to transfer them to the external hard drive) as soon as I get the laptop back I will be hopefully getting more of my own photos out there

Day of Rest

This morning was a day of rest for me
I have been going steady since school started for my children
(and hubby who is a High School Teacher)
Running, doing, being, helping, getting, running..... you know
So I took some time this morning
talked with a friend
watched a bit of t.v.
ate some yummy food
napped
but I woke from my nap feeling panicked and behind.
Calm my anxious heart!

Canning

pic by Jules
The price of groceries have driven me to canning.
I now understand why Sunday was a day of rest
Women needed some down time after all the effort it took
to put into preserving their food and their families.
Tiring work- yes
Rewarding- I hope so
