Ants!

I am so sick of ants invading my house. My husband, neighbor and father-in-law have sprayed and THEY'RE STILL COMING IN MY HOUSE! I just don't get it. My mother-in-law said she had success with washing her floor every night, however, not only do I not have time to do that right now but the ants are literally IN EVERY ROOM of the house. I'm sorry this is a ranting entry but I have felt like I've been living in the dirtiest house in the world with all these ants. The other day there was a steady line of them coming from underneath the baseboard downstairs in the front of the house up the stairs and underneath the baseboard in an extra bedroom on the back of the house. Absolutely ridiculous. I really think they're living in our floors. So I finally was able to vacuum the floors and that made me feel a little bit better. I'll feel even better when they stop coming in the house completely.

Sleeping Baby!

As I sit here typing Liam is sleeping away in his crib. Why he chooses a day I have to work to sleep in instead of a day I have off, like tomorrow is beyond me but I hope he's having sweet dreams. This past Sunday he took a nap and I was getting some schoolwork done. After about 2 hours he woke up and was visibly still tired. He was rubbing his eyes and fussing. So I brought him into the bedroom and laid down with him. He slept for another 2 hours! And I had to wake him up...It was such a precious moment that I hadn't been able to enjoy in awhile. It was so comforting having him lay on my chest in such comfort for the both of us. I'm going to miss this...as I know soon he'll not want anything to do with naps or laying with me, but for now I'll soak up what I can get.

Birds

I saw the most beautiful birds yesterday when I was driving home from work. First I saw two red-wing blackbirds chasing each other, then I saw a bluebird. I think my dad has given me the love of looking at birds. Their beauty is so great and reminds me of God's awesome gifts he gives us each and every day.

I am so grateful for my health, family, and friends. Thank you, God, for giving me all of these wonderful gifts.

New Color Pens

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. Our PTA has been so wonderful in organizing special things for us each day here at school and has also organized the children bringing in things each day for us. Today is school supply day.

Here's the teacher in me:

I Love New School Supplies!

I got these new colored pens that I am so excited to use all day long :)

I'm such a dork!

Parachute Balls

Yesterday evening we were out in the yard. I showed Liam the dandelion parachute balls and how fun it was to blow them as it was quite windy out. I didn't expect the hysterical laugh that erupted from him as I blew. It was so cute and as soon as I can figure out how to get the video from Jason's phone onto here I'll post it. I love the simple things in life that children happy.

Problem Solved

I'm moving to a new classroom at the end of the year. It's my choice and I think it will help the current situation with DQ. Things today have been just as bad as yesterday with a crappy attitude so I think this move will be good. I can have my own space and be left to do my own thing without being bothered.

Rain

I think I could literally sit and stare at the rain for hours. I love the rain when I don't have to be out in it. I love listening to it run off the roof and pitter-patter on a skylight or tin roof.
