I'm a bad blogger. Let's just be honest and go ahead and admit it. You know it, I know it, we all know it. Lately life has become very busy and blogging has taken a back seat. I am going to cut myself a little slack because I do have a very legit excuse for my recent absence. I recently got a little something I like to call a "big girl job", which has kept me very busy. However, since this is such an exciting time in my life I feel like it is much more important to blog about whats going on now. I haven't been doing the best job at that, but I will try to do better.
Moving on, I want to do a quick recap of what I've been doing while I was away from bloggy world....
1. This summer has been filled with lots and lots of snow cones. We seriously have the best snow cone shop in my beloved small town. When I say the best, I seriously mean it. It is so good that I will wait in line for twenty minutes in the 100 degree southern heat.
2. I feel like I go to Wal-Mart like a thousand times a week now days. Every time I work in my classroom I discover that I am missing something that I need. This tends to happen when I've been to the store the day before. Oy! The last time I was in Wal-Mart they were putting up the back to school displays. :)
3. Fourth of July! What better way to celebrate than with a few close friends and family in the grove. It was beautiful! The firework display never lets me down. Hotty Toddy!
4. A few days after the fourth I had to go to the doctor. Boo! Although I enjoyed my time in the grove, my allergies did not. Stupid allergies and sinuses.
5. My classroom is coming together, finally. I have been working in it a lot lately and it is almost complete. I am planning on finishing it up tomorrow. Maybe I will upload some pics of the finished product. Cleaning these built-in's was an absolute pain. Can you find the Windex bottle in this picture? If you can then 1,000 points to you. I spent the whole day looking for it that day. Only to come home and show my mama the picture and then notice it. That's just the way my life goes right now.
6. I finally finished redecorating my room. This project only took me a month and a half. When I made the decision to move home after graduation, I knew that major work needed to be done to my bedroom. Since I moved out it had become a bit of a catch all. I basically moved everything out and got new furniture. That was a process. My granddaddy had a beautiful waterfall chest he gave me. I took it to a lady who painted it for me to match my desk and I think it looks perfect.
7. Lucy has been very helpful around the house lately. See how she helped mommy fold the laundry. I love her so much, but she is a mess.
Well, I think that covers most everything. I will try to do a better job. Promise. Why do I feel like I've said this before?
