When I See You Smile

I know I know..three posts in one day....I am NUTS!!
But I had to do Music Monday over at Kuppy Kakes by Krisin...I love this...this week we were to pick a song that makes us think of Romantic Nostalgia...
well ..I didn't word it any better than she did...that is just hard to say..
but I picked "When I See you Smile" by Bad English...
it is an oldie..but a goodie!!

I have found Picnik!

I hope everyone in the blogger world knows about Picnik...i absolutely love it.

You can edit your photos and make it look like you are one awesome photographer..when really you aren't!

Like me!

I love to take pictures...it is just that I only get that occasionally lucky shot where I am like, "wow..that that is good!"

all the others...completely looks like an child took them...

Here are some of my pictures I have played around with...

I love it! My new fav thing to do!!

I baby my baby...

That's right...I spoil her..I baby her..she is my princess...

This past week my husband has been on first shift...so we have the evening together with Lyla..he has been a huge help...I wish it would have lasted forever..but today started back to reality...

While my husband was home..he put Lyla to bed a few nights...I got to where I missed rocking my baby to sleep..

I still rock her to sleep...she will be two next month...and I sing to her...then I quietly lay her down in bed when she is off in dreamland...

When did you all stop rocking your babies? When do you just put them to bed and have them fall asleep on thier own?

I have to say I will completely miss the rocking and singing and cuddling when she starts to put herself to sleep...

So ...no matter what anyone else thinks...I baby my baby!

Here are a few things that I am grateful for..
43. rain
44. umbrellas
45. that my husband deals with my mood swings
46. a God that moves my spirit
47. a God that answers prayers
48. my health
49. books to read to my baby
50. cute pens that make it fun to write
51. the window in my classroom
52. an adult chair to sit in while in my preschool classroom
53. girls that i like to work with
54. girls that i still talk to who i don't work with anymore
55. my Cricut
56. crafty websites for inspiration
57. the opportunity for my husband to work overtime
58. for God keeping my mouth shut around my in laws
59. for my husband actually telling my in laws what they need to hear
60. men feeling the calling to teach God's gospel!

How Cool is this?

First of all I have to tell you all..I SLEPT ALL NIGHT LONG!

We went up to my mom's house last night and when it was time to go...baby starting screaming to stay with her nanny...so mom told me to let her stay the night...last night was my first night without her in a while...a long while...so i worried a little ..until i fell asleep!

So this morning...while hubby is still sleeping..whom i am mad at right now by the way...i got up to play on the computer ...while surfing around I found Wordle.net

It is supercute! Expect many of these wordles from me...i love them!

Here is one that was in the gallery that i thought was fantastic...it is the Beatitudes from the Bible....I love it...I plan on printing it out and giving it as a Christmas present....or I could totally scrapbook something like this...oh what a great idea!

Thanks Wordle!

well it wouldn't let me post it...says the "tag" was broken....but anyway here is a link to it.

The Beatitudes

I'm having withdrawls and drama!

I think I am having bloggy withdrawls...

my husband has been home this week and it has been so wierd in our house!

Where he works usually shuts down for a whole week for the Fourth of July..but he volunteered to work first shift this week...since we just bought a new car..and still have a few more truck payments to pay...pennies will be counted in our house for the next few months!

But since he has been home...we have cleaned house..visited my mom...watched tv...played with the baby....and I have taken kind of a bloggy hiatus...


so here is just one new thing that is going on right now...

I finally got my window in my classroom....so I have been cleaning it up and moving stuff over so I can be BY myself with my students...I have come to realize that I do not work well with others.
Especially when the "other" wants 2 year olds to sit down and watch movies all day...I can't handle that.
I have my classroom all set up now..and the kids that are in my room are so excited because if we ever have any down time in our room..we get out toys to play with...or do something....they love it!

Yesterday afternoon , I went into the principles office to see if she had any crafts for us to do this coming up week...and somehow in turned into a vent session. I don't know how she did it...but she is good. We got to talking about how kids were telling thier parents that they watch movies in the "others" class..and I guess parents started coming to ask the principle what we do all day...uh oh!

So she asked me how things were going in that room...and at first I said...I don't wanna make enemies...I know what it is like being the new kid in town (i have only worked there for a few months now) ...but how can you not tell your new boss something when she asks...so I did..and man I hope i did the right thing...

I don't think she will let it out that it was me in there tellling her..but if she does...i don't think i would care because it was wrong of the "other"

One day this week the "other" class was with my class and it was movie day...so we went out to the big gym to watch VeggieTales...and the "other" teacher fell asleep! I mean passed out snoring asleep...woke up ..screamed at a child to come here...and fell back to sleep....while the child was just standing there....OMG! So I let it be known to the Asst Director who was in the kitchen at the time..so all she had to do was poke her head around the pass through and see that she was snoring...and she called the big director..aka Principle...and she came in and told her to go home now.

Why ... Why am I put in these situations?

Well..I hope everything turns out ok...I gotta get ready for another day!

My Coffee Maker

I always wake up a little earlier than everyone else in the morning. I get my shower in silence..start to fix my hair and make up...and usually by then Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is on the TV...and husband is asking me to turn off lights so he can sleep (he works second shift) ...

But this morning went a little different....

I woke up ..earlier than everyone else...I got my shower..fixed my hair...and was doing my make up when my little angel awoke from her dreamland...
got straight out of OUR bed that she had climbed into the night before...
and went straight to her room...

so being the inquiring mother that i am....i followed her....

she went to her kitchen...and started "cooking" something...

So I say Good Morning to her and she turns around quickly and says,

"Momma, you want some coffee?"

:)

How can you pass that up?

So of course I said yes..and we woke up dad to see if he wanted some too...he did.

We all three sat in the middle of our bedroom floor and had our morning coffee that Lyla made.

Precious, Precious times......
