Hello Friday!
My mind is centered on the BEACH! I leave tomorrow.. and getting ready to go on vacation is as time consuming as preparing for a substitute! Seriously, my to do list is loooong!
The stuff gathering to be packed is getting ridiculous.
My sister sent me this little comic strip years ago. It hangs on the bulletin board in my office.
And, it is so true. We definitely either need a flatbed trailer or a cargo plane to get there!
I was up this morning at 7 am baking cookies to take with us. I unwrapped 36 Reese’s peanut butter cups and didn’t eat a single one. That in itself is a miracle. I ♥ peanut butter!
I have my stack of books and my kindle charged up ready to go! Sleep, eat, read.. those are the three most important things for this week! I look forward to it each year.
My Doodle Bugs Paper website got a little makeover this week! I am just tickled to death with the results! Hop on over and take a peek!
I wanted to update you on the Oklahoma fundraiser that a group of us did last week. I cannot take any credit for any of the hard work that went into this successful fundraiser. Ashley was the workhorse behind the whole thing.
I was just one of the 25 teachers who donated a product for the fundraiser. We were thrilled when Ashley made the announcement that our final total was $29,394.00.. and 100% of the profit went directly to the American Red Cross to help the Moore Oklahoma tornado victims. Thank you to anyone who donated and helped us raise money.
Share your Five things from today or this week and link up below!
Enjoy your weekend!
Your willpower with those Reese!! I would have had to have at least just one :)

ReplyDeleteThose cookies are one of my favorites, but I don't make them very often because I hate unwrapping the cups!

I hear ya on packing for the beach! We don't leave until the end of June, but I've already started making lists. It's easier than waiting until the last minute. Which beach do you go to?

I love Karen Kingsbury books!! And how did you stop from eating the PB?? It's a weakness!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great time at the beach! I would never have been able to open that many Reese's without eating half. ;)
ReplyDeleteI shared pictures of my class's frogs from your Spring Directed Drawing activities if you'd like to check them out.
