Redarndiculous

Remember when we were in high school and the whole school got out for state b-ball if the team went? I do and it was great....no school YAY! Our team is going to state and I am stuck in class with four students this hour, none last and even fewer all day. There are 22 teachers in this school. 11 of which took a personal day today and for the professional development day tomorrow to go to the games. That means 11 subs at $90 a piece. That's a lot of money! If the team wins today then I plan on leaving tomorrow evening and going up if the boys win that game, I will get in late at Stephy and Ryans and then go to the Saturday game. If they win we celebrate, if they don't, we celebrate a good season. Either way we celebrate!

I have been reading other blogs lately and one of interest is Frugal Coupon Mom, she has links listed for coupons, freebies, mail in rebate offers and lots of other things as well as money saving tips that are realistic for busy people like us. She uses lots of different stores including some we do not have here but those out of state, or moving out of state ( :( Whit and maybe Genna), can shop at like Albertsons and stores only in big cities like CVS and Walgreens. She is a smart lady but her site is hard to navigate. She is changing the site soon so it is more user friendly.

It is exciting and scary to say that after Friday there is only one more nine week period before school is out. I am crossing my fingers that I will be re-contracted for another year, they are supposed to give us at least a month to look over the contracts and decide if we want to sign. We should know by April 10 if we will be offered a contract for next year!

Had a great time at Fake Patty's day, hope to see you all soon!

Welcome to my world. Nothing too exciting going on here....I am a teacher and enjoy telling my friends about the interesting things that happen in my daily life. I find the most pleasure in the simple things that occur daily. Like the brilliant sunsets as I drive home from work or the way Maggie whimpers and paws when she dreams in the kitchen or the way Cody starts my car when he leaves for work just because he knows I don't like to be cold.
