Random Thoughts Wednesday

This really isn't going to be teacher related? I guess. I've been bursting at the seams to post all of this fabulous stuff we've been doing in lil' old room 127, but I came home completely intent on posting all night and then it happened... the internet stopped working. Stop. the. presses. Me equals almost in tears. I basically hyperventilate without internet connection. So here I am... in a delirious state. I've cleaned for 4 hours, I just sat down. There's basically nothing worse than working all day with 25 third graders, then coming home and cleaning (Okay so maybe there is... I know most of you have kids and have to clean after a full day. That would most def. be worse)! Sidenote before I begin... I now have to brand every photo I post, as some loosey goosey is claiming my photos as their own. Creepers! So alas I present to you... my random thought Wednesday:

has anyone ever gotten to school planned on doing 8 million things and instead plugged in the laminator? (is that even how you spell laminator?) Anyway... Tuesday my intention was to do all sorts of stuff, laminate a few things, then be on my way. This is what the result was. I laminated the pants off everything. Plus I'm revamping things because: 1. I constantly need to change things 2. I'm trying to start changing things over to next years theme. I was so disappointed when the bell rang and I realized I wasted the entire morning!

{friday - dismissal took roughly 45 minutes because of this madness}

{ordered these boots on halloween - they just arrived in the past 2 weeks}

{note:so worth the wait}

{i'm officially in PANIC mode - i have completely run out of space}

{that little space in the middle used to be my board, now expository just gets rolled up all day}

{ugh-nnoying!}

{is anyone else crazy about giving tests in the middle of a week?}

{i hate giving tests on like wed/thurs, then i'd have to start a new unit on like a thurs or fri}

{so we did an AIMS tangram lesson - these are the best LOL, they crack me up!}

{i heart the turtle!}

{the final copies of the picture part of the adverb project!}

{they put an INSANE amount of detail! i couldn't believe it!!}

{i'll post the final results this weekend - hopefully - when they're done}

{it was wear red day - red for perseverance month}

{these were the only red shoes I had, i freakin' love them they are so comfy - i pinky promise}

{i have them in nude, black, these, and i want them in the bright pink - but the boy said no way lol}

{anyway apparently a few 1st graders said they wanted me cuz I wore pretty shoes}

{i. heart. kids.}

I told you I was going to be random. Anyway the pencil sharpener... still GOING STRONG. As if there was ever any doubt! I even dared, I know it was dangerous, to sharpen 2 colored pencils today! They sharpened no problem! The kiddos have even used it! I think I need to find a permanent place for it and it'll be even easier 'cuz they won't have to steady it. I need some reason to do a giveaway soon, cuz Troy said he'd do a giveaway with me! I'd be happy given one of those bad boys away. That's it. I promise more teacher/school related posts tomorrow!!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years Sale!!

So, I'm officially blogging from the new computer!! I'm having a bit of trouble getting used to it, as it's a bit bigger than the other one. The keyboard is really giving me the most problems!! They keyboard has a number keypad on the right side, like a normal desktop keyboard would. My old laptop didn't have this, so it's been difficult getting used to some of the button placement. It's also been weird getting used to the ginormous mouse pad on this thing. I feel like I'm always swiping something or clicking somewhere I shouldn't. The changes between my old Windows and Windows 7 has also taken some getting used to! Overall though, I am LOVING it to the max!

Now all I need is the bright pink OPI switch cover and I'll be a happy camper!! 

I've been busy getting to work already. I just can't help it. I was bored within a few hours this morning, and I'm barely 24 hours into my break (okay so I suppose Friday, Saturday, and Sunday was considered break too), but for me it felt like it started today! I haven't attempted anything on Photoshop. I need ideas?!?! What are people looking for that they can't find? I have a whole list of LA topics I need to make things for, as well as an Earth Science unit, and possibly some shape stuff. I have to look at what's coming up in math. Are there posters you just can't find? A unit you're looking for?!? Let me know!! 

I just posted an Adverbs mini unit on Teacher's Notebook. It has a few worksheets, a mini poster, as well as 2 projects along with the writing paper to accompany the projects. If you're interested click on it and it'll take you to my store!!

I'm also in an amazing mood. I happened to be trying to find an old post of mine with something on ProTeacher (which I haven't been on since who knows when) when I came across a post from September about a bunch of my followers who were sad when I went on my hiatus. It made me realize how much I love my bloggy followers and appreciate everyone times a million. I can't tell everyone how much every comment, every post, every pin on pinterest, everything makes me feel! I'm blown away that others find things that I do so interesting. I just thought I'd start sharing in hopes I could help someone. I got so frustrated after the first incident of cruel people stealing things from me, I thought I'd never come back. The support I got the second time around, especially when things went sour  a SECOND time was unbelievable. So as a thanks to everyone I'm running a sale in my store starting tomorrow in celebration of the New Year and everyone's crazy support!!

Well my Bulls are losing, and I'm exhausted, so it's time to refresh my brain for more creations tomorrow. I'm open to creating things, so please if you're looking for something ask away!!
