A little bit of this and a little bit of that

I'm amazed at how quickly we have approached the middle of March. Springtime is just around the corner. The birds are chirping away and my trees are beginning to sprout little buds. The weather is warming up a tad and it stays daylight longer. Gotta love the springtime and all it's newness.

We've been busy around here as usual. Jim has been traveling every week for the last month. They just increased his territory so that means even more traveling. I'm getting used to it now, but Tiffani is still struggling with it. She still cries. James, well, he's just James and 13. No care in the world at the moment. I have to try and not complain about all the traveling. I'm just thankful he still has a job.

As for me, school is in full force. I was expecting my master's program to be quite difficult, but so far so good. Work is light, but more frequent as I'm in school more nights a week now. I was rushing to that I can quickly get my own classroom, but from the looks of it, that won't be happening for a while. Our teachers are struggling to keep their jobs. Our school districts are a mess thanks to all the cuts our state issued. It's really sad to see how this will affect our children and our community. I am thankful though that I still have my job. I may not be the head teacher, but I'm still in the classroom teaching.

My scrapbooking group meet this past Friday. I'm always amazed at how much I enjoy spending time with them. We sometimes talk about the same things but it's always refreshing to have someone agree and laugh with you. It's like, "Yeah, I know exactly what you mean." I made lasagna for dinner and didn't realize that all my friends are Catholic. LOL So, they couldn't eat meat. Well, I should say, they are suppose to refrain from eating meat. Only one did. I have to say that Angie is one of these gals that really lives her life in accordance to her beliefs. I like that. So, she waited until well passed midnight to have a little bit of lasagna. LOL

It was a gorgeous weekend. I spent it with Valerie and Nathaniel. We did some shopping and more shopping. Bath and Body Works was having a great promotion so we had to hit there. I hadn't bought BBW for a long time. I love their new fragrance, Dancing Waters. Had to get that. We went to Victoria secrets and tried on their new bra. HORRIBLE! I just can't use their bras. But, we fell in love with one of their body scents, Candy Baby. Oh, smells like cotton candy. Yummo! We did other fun shopping and then headed to my friends for some Gold Canyon Candles. I love them. I got 10 new scents and can't wait to light them all up. LOL

I'm always sad when Val and Nathaniel leave, but I know they have to get home and have their own life. I just wish it were here with me.

Thanks for stopping by and keeping up with me.

XOXO,
Marlo
