lightening up

i needed something positive in my day & here it is...

the 2 students that i have back to back from noon to 2:30 are both sick (doesn't bode well for my immediate future b/c i have 0 immune system, but oh well), so i have some free time on my hands! yay me! one of the perks of being a special education teacher--i mean, when as a general ed teacher is your whole class going to be absent??
i only have a 4" stack of paperwork to complete but for the next 5 minutes i'm allowing myself to not think about that (must insert here... i'm soooo glad my supervisor reads this blog --sorry erin).

i have a confession to make--i am a registry checker---i love to check my registries online & see what cool items are being snagged up. i try really hard not to do it too often so that when someone says they went shopping i don't know what specific thing they bought...
today however, i need the excitement so i'm peeking...(if you truly know me you won't be shocked--i also am known for unwrapping & rewrapping my Christmas & birthday presents so i know what they are--surprises make me nervous!). sidenote: my husband no longer keeps my birthday & Christmas presents at our house :(

have wednesday, everbody...the week's 1/2 over!!

i did that one year for christmas. i stayed home sick from school and unwrapped, very carefully with a butter knife, and looked at all my presents and then wrapped them back up. i even tried on my leather coat. it wasn't a very fun xmas for me that year, so i have never done it again. speaking of my leather coat.... my mom just had that for sale at the garage sale. hmmm!

YAY for unexpected free time! Maybe it'll give you extra energy for sonlight tonight.

I unwrapped my presents for Christmas one year too. I'm with Bree It kind of ruined that Christmas for me. However, I was also a registry checker. Unfortunately or fortunately (depending on how you look at it) I didn't get very many things off my registry so I was still surprised. I didn't get you anything off your registry yet so you can count on me for what I hope is a good surprise.

you guys crack me up....unwrapping my presents before Christmas was like my favorite part! then i had a secret for a week or 2 that no one knew about!! i'm okay with 'off the list' things...that way i'll be sure to have a least a few "true" surprises at the shower!..i can always count on you, corin!
