Words to Live By

I found these magnets a few years ago at Barnes and Noble. And its a rare occasion that I find them or other items sold by this company locally. I absolutely adore their stuff! I own quite few magnets of my own. I often display them outside of my classroom door. (Thankfully my door frame is metal, so they stick!) It just gives anybody who comes into my room something to ponder and think about. I also own 2 canvas paintings and a few journals. Trust me, I fill those babies up, since I journal all the time. But anyways,  thought I would share the website with the rest of you. You just might be inspired like I was :)

Relax? Not Today

When I got home from school today, I was exhausted. The kids are so excited and ready for break, and well, so am I! All I was looking forward to was some peace and quiet while phil was at a basketball game. And these chances of being home alone come by far and few between. So least to say, I was estactic! But wouldn't you know, if its not one thing another? So as I came into the office to check e-mail and facebook, I turn the corner to see a big pile of mess! My little cherubs..Chloe and Buddy somehow managed to knock my ornament box off the couch. I literally screamed in panic. I just kept thinking...all of my keepsakes, and the ornaments I grew up with. I turned around to see their little faces just sitting there. And as soon as I pointed my finger at them, and asked "Which one of you did this?" They were gone! They knew they were in some serious trouble! On a positive note, none of them broke, or at least that I am aware of, thank God for that one. On a negative note, I will never know which one of them did it. Thats the only problem with having 2 : / Well, needless to say I didnt get to relax like I thought. Oh well, maybe tomorrow?



And this is after I picked most of the mess up. I swear...they are lucky they are cute...
