Monica's Musings: January 2009
http://monicasimonds.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 29, 2009. My Own Version of Freecycle. I love clothes.and shoes. But not just any clothes.really nice clothes ON SALE! I also have clothes I can't seem to part with. Now, let me say that I am not the same size I was just a few years ago. So, I have a collection of suits from Dillard's that I bought for at least 75% off.because I could.and they are mostly 1's and 3's. I am NOT a 1 nor a 3! What to do. What to do. Now that there's a little space in my closet. Wednesday, January 28, 2009.

Monica's Musings: February 2009
http://monicasimonds.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 17, 2009. V-Dayand then it's just downhill. Well, who was my valentine? Try 16 teenagers at a debate tournament ALL weekend. Darn those kids. They kept winning. And they didn't have enough judges so I had to judge EVERY round.including one round of CX. I hate CX! I'd rather poke pens in my eyes. I thought about doing that because then I couldn't write out the ballot so I wouldn't have to judge, but they said they were so short of judges I'd have to judge anyway. I Failed a Test? For tho...

Tuesday, June 2, 2009. Who's daughter is the Distrist 9 5A First Team All-District Centerfielder? That would be me! Yep, she did it in spite of my genes. Pumpkin was so proud of herself she spent an hour on the phone calling all the grandparents and uncles and anyone else who would listen. If only getting an A would mean that much to her. PS Still waiting on the results of my second interview. June 3, 2009 at 11:32 AM. How did the second interview go? When is school out? June 3, 2009 at 7:38 PM.

Monica's Musings: March 2009
http://monicasimonds.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 27, 2009. Day SEVEN, EIGHT and NINE! We did it. We bought the car. It's a 1999 BMW 528i.which probably doesn't mean much to most of you. Here's what I know.it's SAFE! It has so many airbags and these steel beams in the doors so Pumpkin is safer than in a smaller or older car without those features. It even has a CD changer in the trunk.remember when they put them there? Yea, now she just needs a license.and a job! That insurance isn't going to pay itself! Day Five AND Six! And then it was "...

Monica's Musings: July 2008

Tuesday, July 29, 2008. First Day of School Excitement. So, in the true spirit of the nerd that I am, I have had one whole day away from summer school and I've found myself googling new activities for the first day of school. They have no cure for this illness of mine so I thought I'd just go with it. I actually found some really cool ones. Here are my favorites. 1 From Kim's Korner. Make it all about you. Make a bulletin board about yourself. Include pictures. 4 From Education World. 7 My TTF got a good...

Monica's Musings: Sorry for the delay...
http://monicasimonds.blogspot.com/2009/05/sorry-for-delay.html
Saturday, May 30, 2009. Sorry for the delay. The interview on Tuesday went really well so I stressed the whole rest of the week worrying about whether or not I'd get called back. Thursday evening they called and I go Monday at 9:30 for the second interview. I want this so badly! I've let myself get excited so a letdown could get ugly. What should my six words for today be? I had better get that job! June 1, 2009 at 7:32 AM. Thinking good thoughts right now! Will be waiting to hear the good news.

Monica's Musings: October 2008

Wednesday, October 8, 2008. Stephen Turns 45.Well, Not Really! I had the bright idea to throw Stephen a surprise birthday party. It all began 5 years ago when he turned 40. I just couldn't get it together. 50 seems such a long way off so I could not resist 45! So I invited a few friends (he'd want it small) and began to plan. Wow. I don't think I've slept. Here's why. Stephen checks our bank account at least once a day. How was I supposed to pay for anything? He found the email that confirmed shipping!

Monica's Musings: August 2008
http://monicasimonds.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 18, 2008. The First Day of School. OK, I guess it's the "first" first day of school. Teachers in our district go back tomorrow. Colleen, on this one, you and I are two of a kind! Do I venture out and wear those cute, new dressy shorts I just got? Or stick with the standard dark jeans and sparkly wedge sandals that are really flip flops but who cares? Maybe some capris to split the difference. The jeans win. It's not every day that I get to wear jeans to work so when I can, I DO! And by the...

Monica's Musings: I am a star
http://monicasimonds.blogspot.com/2009/06/i-am-star.html
Wednesday, June 17, 2009. I am a star. Well, that's what I was told. You see, the "Stars Fell on Alabama" NFL national competition is in Birmingham and so am I. I can't begin to tell you what my rear felt like after 9.yes, NINE.straight hours of driving after a day of 6 straight hours of driving. I taught my kids to spit watermelon seeds, bait a hook and eat at Fausto's. They may never stop thanking me! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Add Snippets to your site. I am a star.

Monica's Musings: Still waiting...
http://monicasimonds.blogspot.com/2009/06/still-waiting.html
Friday, June 5, 2009. And waiting and waiting and .well, you get the picture. I did find out that I was tops in the first interview. No one has a clue what they are waiting for to pull the trigger on this. So, do I pack up my room for storage.or to move out? Make plans for the time off in the summer.or will I be working? Summer school or not? Pumpkin's nationals.again, or not? God is trying patiently to teach me patience.and I am a slow learner. Can I get an IEP for that? June 7, 2009 at 9:52 PM.
