Wow! What a crazy week it has been.
On Friday my internet went out which in many ways was a good thing. It allowed me to focus on the family and the house and all that good stuff.
Not so good for running an online business though. It all worked out.
We celebrated the twin's 1st birthday on Saturday with a big ole backyard party. I must thank our guest of honor, Mother Nature, for providing us with a gorgeous day. It was a fabulous shindig and I really enjoyed visiting with family who I had not seen in forever.
My mom and dad were in town for the birthday and stayed with us Saturday through Tuesday. We totally took advantage of having the extra hands.On Sunday morning we took the Big Brother sans babies to the beach.
It's amazing how vacationish it felt. I love the beach any day of the year. However, after a crazy week of traveling out of state, working on the house, party planning and executing, entertaining, etc. it felt SO GOOD to sit with my feet in the sand and not have to worry about diaper and sand-eating babies.
It wasn't all fun and games though. I had work to do.
I'm a teacher. It was the month of August. It's how we roll.
On Monday the reality slap came.
I had received email clearance to go work in my classroom. Translation: the cleaning crew had finished "doing their thang" and I could go piece together my classroom. Since my mom was visiting and could hang with the Littles, I put on my scrubby clothes and headed in to school.
Luckily I brought my big, strong, Hubby with me. (Actually he was bitter and disgruntled about needing to do manual labor, but he sometimes reads this so I thought a few flattering adjectives would be appreciated).
The good news is that I had a blank slate.
The better news is that my rugs were cleaned.
The bad news is that this is the scene I walked in to find.
Why yes, that is the entire contents of my classroom piled high into a jumbled heap. I managed to sift through the rubble, get everything back in order and things are looking good for the 10-11 school year.
We don't start back until next Tuesday.
Tomorrow I'm taking the Boy to a water park.
Since it seems like every school in NH, ME and parts of MA have already started we should have the place to ourselves.
Which is exactly how I prefer anywhere I need to sport a swimsuit to be.

I don't think that looks bad at all... compared to my mess this year! LOL! We ALL had to change classrooms! So the blank slate, was completely blank. It's been an adventure settling in. Hope your room comes together!!!
Yikes! The room was nice and clean, but don't your custodians set up the room for you? We have to leave a map so they can do it for us. My only problem is that I change my mind and end up moving everything for hours.
My New Year started this week. I'm still working on getting things organized.
Hope you have a fantastic beginning to your New year!
P.S. I'm glad I found your blog!
