Catching up-
It's been awhile since I've had the chance to write here. I've been so busy working and then doing what needs to be done around home. And I'm still running behind. And I still have more things to add.
Isn't that always the case?
I am going to be teaching a workshop about printing on fabric. It will be 2 hours each session and I'll be having three in as many months. I'm still working on getting all the supplies together for it. I've had a quilt top sitting here for over three years and, since I'm doing this workshop, I decided to have it quilted professionally. Ironically, it will also fit in with the school veteran's day celebration. Anyway, last weekend, Maura and I drove down to Arkansas to a quiltshop and dropped it off. I got a call today that it was ready for pickup. That was faster service than promised and, since I'm on a tight deadline, that's great news.
I will be doing an art project with the 4-H kids on Tuesday after school. We'll be making pins to sell to benefit the animals rescued from Hurricane katrina that are being cared for in Springfield. It is best when kids see directly where their help is needed and what their work can do. Since 4-H has a strong connection to animal care, this is a great project. I'll need to pick up the parts for this project this weekend.
The school carnival is next week and each class was asked to create a gift basket for the auction. Delaney's class voted and they decided on the theme: PIE. I've had great help from other mothers to make this project come about. We are all getting a kick out of the theme.
The HS homecoming is tomorrow. Tyler has been working on the float after school for the parade that will be in the afternoon. He may be in the parade, I'll just have to wait and be surprised when I see him. Since I'm working at the elementary school, I'll be there with a class to view it. He also wants to go to the game and dance. It's a surprise for us, it's his first sign of wanting to socialize. I have a deep seated hatred of sports, so if he goes, it will be his first game to view. I've always dreaded this moment when he was going to want to go to the game, but I'd hate it even more if I had to go too. LOL! I know that if Maura keeps up with band, that I'll eventually have to go. I just want to delay that as long as possible.
Maura was doing the school fundraiser and so we had to pick that up today as well. We got in a bit late today to deliver, but she can do that tomorrow.
Tomorrow is my last day as a "resource teacher". Monday and Tuesday, I'll be a 7th grade science teacher. Wednesday, I'll need to take Delaney to get her new cast and then I'll teach 9th grade art at church. Which reminds me, I'll need to get my supplies ready for that beforehand.
See? It never ends.
