Taking a night off...

Tonight I brought not one book or paper home from school...I literally just left my bag there with everything in it so I would be forced to chill out for one night! It is so nice! I've already gotten to read three books to Norah and hope to maybe read a random magazine tonight or something...I need to do this more often. Lately it has been work...work...work....

Oh well...onto the important stuff....like I cannot wait for this movie in November. Even though this wasn't my favorite book of the 4....me love Edward! :)

Jessica Simpson is so pregnant but supposedly will not comment until someone gives her some $$ for her statement. Um....I can pretty much tell from this pic that there is a bun in the oven....whatcha' think?

Here are a few pics from when we went to Disney on Ice. The train pics as always...Norah loves to ride the "train"




We got there and our seats were ringside so we were literally the first row. We sat in chairs basically right at the ice. If I would have straightened my legs I would have tripped the skaters...seriously! It was a fabulous experience and Norah loved it!!!




It was really cold so close to the ice so luckily I brought our jackets!


Well I am off to enjoy moments of relaxation!

Quick Post...



I so wanted to post some pics from a couple weekends back when we saw the Princesses on Ice but no time tonight...so will have to document that next time. Just wanted to stop in to tell you about my new favorite commercial and a comic strip that proves that I have been working all the time...because I think it is hilarious! :)


Carolina Panthers Play 60 Commercial - I cannot tell you how many times we have played this today...Norah dances and loves to see Sir Purr!

200th post

Can you believe this is my 200th post on this blog? Crazy! I cannot believe it is October already. So a random post is due to catch up with the last month.

This picture of Norah makes me laugh because she just said "hey mommy...look at my balls." :)She was throwing the balls for the puppies to chase...too cute!

I love Fall! I love the cooler weather, football, pumpkins, leaves changing colors...everything. It is my favorite season. (This picture below reminds me of a scene from "When Harry Met Sally"...one of my favorite movies!)


Speaking of football...I love that there is football on our tv on Saturday, Sunday and Monday...we are addicted. And how 'bout them Tigers...Clemson is rockin' this year!


I so wish we had Showtime so we could watch "Homeland" tonight....it looks good and it was mostly filmed in Charlotte!


The dogs ate my camera...destroyed it. But luckily the video card in it was okay so the pictures were saved. So I got the same camera but in a newer version. Canon PowerShot Elph 100 HS.


Have to admit that I saw this one....and really wanted it but since it was twice as much as the one I got...I had to pass. Nikon Coolpix P500...swoon!


I just saw this movie preview today...it will be either really funny or really stupid! :)

On the school front....Norah is loving school and she is learning so much. She has started to learn math as they have a math class with a SmartBoard and all! She has computer class, Spanish, Drama, Fun n Fitness, Science, Multi-Cultural, learns handwriting, and the list goes on! And she is only 4! So her day is always so busy.


My days are super busy too. After having to take down an entire room, bulletin boards, pack up my desk, etc. and move to a new room and unpack, put up the new bulletin boards, etc. (They moved me because they put my SmartBoard in the room next door to me...so the teacher and I had to switch classrooms) Getting the hang of teaching 3 completely different levels of math (I have an inclusion class, Standard Plus and Honors) and catching up on the "housekeeping" items...I have easily worked 12 hour days. But so far I still love it and I am so happy to be doing it. The UNCC stuff I have to do is extra add on that I could do without right now...but gotta do what ya gotta do. I do love always learning something new, staying constantly busy and never having a moment to sit down during the day!


Well another Monday starts tomorrow so I better get a couple more things done around the house tonight!
