Back to work and back to crafting!

I started back at work on the 18th and have actually been able to keep up my good attitude!

I vowed to keep a PMA this school year and to not let silly things get me down.
I have an amazing little family, great friends, fun new hobbies, and a job that pays the bills!
I shouldn't really complain!

I got lots of new students this year, and four new kids have enrolled in the past week and a half that I need to test for LEP!
The new students have been super sweet and I'm really enjoying working with them!
Although one tried to trick me today because apparently he thought I didn't know his schedule!
Silly kids--teachers are connected! Why don't they get that?!

When we got back from Vegas I was having really crazy and terrible dizzy spells!
Those have subsided for the most part, so I'm ready to get back into working out and keeping fit!
Ravi and I ran with Sabin yesterday, and I can tell that he was loving it!

I also started the Home Ec class!
It took me one little flip out, but now I'm sewing and loving it! I'm excited to make so many new things!
I love how these napkins turned out! The stitching definitely isn't perfect, but it works for me!


I also am hosting a wedding shower for our friends Cate & TJ, so I busied myself making invitations for that!
And I just love how they turned out!
It was quite the task to make them, because I hand cut each triangle for the pennant flags and glued them individually.
(The colors are so off up there! Woops!)
Then I added the ribbon and some little love owls!
And then the information!
The shower is all about OWLS!
Both the bride and groom got corresponding owl tattoos, so I thought it was fitting!
I'll be sure to post pictures after we have it because I have so many cute decorations/treats planned!

This weekend is Cate's bachelorette party and she decided on Roller Derby!
I'm super excited because I've never been to a game, but I think it's going to be so much fun!
Then we're meeting up with the bachelor party for dinner at Hofbrauhaus!

Ravi just got home, so we're heading out for a run and then to do some errands!
Hope you all are having a wonderful week!
