Random Monday

 I've got some random today.  

Pie Pals Update

The Pie Pals are eating some glum pie because Miss Becky moved to North  South Carolina. We plan to eat pie without Becky but it won't the same.

 We went to Holly's house and had a test before we ate pie.

 We all passed and received our Snowpocalypse  2017 Badge.

Everything is cute and fun at Holly's house. It made me want to collect badges like a Girl Scout.

Her pecan pie was delish!

We had one last pie before Miss Becky left us.  I made coconut cream pie and hosted at my house.

Remember Pie Fixes Everything so while we were sad about Becky leaving we enjoyed the pie and since it was a sorrowful occasion everyone had seconds. That and a champagne cocktail helps.  

All better.

3, 2, 1... MAUI

I've been gathering dollar paperbacks to take to the beach and have a fairly decent stack.

Last trip to Maui I ran out of reading material and had to go to the free pile and take whatever was left. I'm not Harlequin Romance reader but I did it. Ugh. This year I'm ready!

 I have a new swim suit and cover up.  The shoes were in my closet and just in case I want to wear heels to the pool I can.  Every eventuality.  I'll keep you posted on the shoes and the amount of luggage.  #thestruggleisreal

 Karen and I made dinner reservations for the week. Oh my! We are going to have some fun.

It'll pretty much be our Hawaii routine but this old lady is buying a chair.  I plan to set it at the surf's edge and soak it all up.

Pretty much a beach day every day.  We've done the educational, touristy things in Hawaii.

Back in the Classroom

I am substitute teaching!  It is going well and it's fun to be back in school.  I can work without having to ask off for vacations, Hubby's days off and summertime.  I have met some great students and teachers and always come home with fun stories to share with Hubby.

I love saying the Pledge of Allegiance with a classroom of kiddos.  It gives me good chills.

I am amazed how many times a first grader falls out of their chair.

I love aha moments.

I love second grader jokes.

I now know the thumb between two fingers means that someone needs a bathroom pass.

If one little person says they need to see the nurse, there will soon be an epidemic. Because when they hear that word they all think of something that hurts and needs attention.  It's a fine line, folks.

I am having a good time.

A teacher asked if I had any jobs for this week. I teach on Tuesday and then I said I had a cut and color on Wednesday.  She thought that's what I was calling a kindergarten assignment.  Nooo, I'm getting my hair done before leaving for Maui.  Haha I am going to laugh about that for a long time.

Aloha!
