Catching Up
I swear that there is never a vacation taken, that I personally,do not need a vacation from!!
It is more work to travel, come home, unpack and get back into the swing of things sometimes than the vacation itself is worth.
Okay, not really, but it does OFTEN feel that way.
I am all unpacked now, although not certain if dh put the suitcases away. They were piled in the guestroom the last time that I saw them, which is fine with me as long as I am not tripping over them. I have enough to trip over in every other room. I am seriously beginning to wonder if the day ever comes that there will be at least one square inch of floor space in my 2200 square foot house that does not have either choo choo's on it or their tracks? Anyone? Ferris? SOmeone please tell me that it will change. He has a perfectly great play area downstairs(it used to be known as a living room , but no more) and, his bedroom that he refuses to sleep in has a whole area to play in. But, NOOOOOOOOO. All trains and tracks MUST be dragged into MY room and lef there, despite my many efforts and attempts to return them to their rightful storage area.
Grrrrrrrrrrr. Too early in the morning for this much venting, sorry.
I long for a day of sunshine as my tan is seriously fading. Can someone send Mr. Sunshine my way? Thanks.
Have a great Tuesday.

my head is spinning
There is so much going on these days.
Trying to unpack is NOT fun and oh do I still have a MOUNAIN of laundry to do and put away. Then let's talk how filthy a house that NO ONE was in for 8 days is? YIKES. So, I should be cleaning, but whatever.................I think I will just get dressed and leave. Can't be too dirty if I don't have to see it right? Ha.
Actually, I think I will just call Angela, my cleaning lady and let her work some magic here. SOON.
It is unreal to me that before I know it I will be back at work. Considering I was pretty much dreading this summer and not working, I can't even say that I miss it at all. I know that I will be xcited once it starts, but not yet. I am xcited about the new team that I will be working with, but 3rd grade again. Gosh they are little. There will be plenty o' time to get back into teacher mode.
The MS Crop is coming together. I got a bunch of emails about it while I was away and have responded to most/or almost all of them.
I am trying to solidify the classes that will be taught and get the t-shirts ordered. Gotta check those things off my to do list by the beginning of next week.
Okay, off to shower and disappear. Think I will go pick up the rest of the pics from the trip before I go to pick up Aunt Sue's birthday cake.
Happy Birthday to one unbelievably fantastic woman, my Aunt Sue.

also
My new laptop arrived today. Now, if I could get it outta the box and up n running in between unpacking, life would be good!! lol
Forgot to mention
That I hit every scrap store that I could find out there.
The Treasure Box in Ft. Collins is as amazing, if not better, than I remembered it to be 3 years ago when I was there.
Also hit another one in Ft. Collins. Don't remember the name, but I only spent $7. Does that tell ya anything. HA.
There was a craft store in Wyoming............oh my. What a sad little store. The MOST exciting thing they had to offer were Coluzzle patterns and Sticko packs. It was pathetic.
There was a store in S. Dakota that is located in a pretty nice mall.......Rushmore Mall. Okay, we are talking mall RENT here. I can honestly say that w/o Crop for Hope donations I personally, have more inventory than this store.!!
She didnt' have a single magazine or idea book?! She did have some SD/Mount Rushmore/ Colorado page kits that I had to have, but jeez.
Okay, laundry, laundry laundry and unpacking. NOT the best part of coming home but oh so glad to be here.

time zone?!
Okay, so our plane arrived at about 11:30pm last night into TIA from Denver. Not xactly sure what time zone my body is on at the moment. I stayed up til 2am, something I haven't done in YEARS, and I was up about 8am. Joshy just now woke up and it is after 10. Guess he is on Colorado time for now.
We had a wonderful trip. I will post details and photos soon. Beautiful scenery, but NOTHING is as good as coming home even from a wonderful trip.
Poor John was up and out early this morning.........back to work. I am glad to have a few more weeks.
