School is OUT

By -
This week was the last week of school at the middle school I work at. Yesterday was the last day for teachers... it was an emotional day. More so than the past 2 years. I guess because there are staff and teachers leaving not only for the summer but for good. Many of those teachers I have grown to really like... so it's a sad time. Plus all the peeps that I enjoy seeing everyday, won't be here for 3 months.
Working at a school is strange, unlike most jobs. At most jobs you go to work, see the same co-workers everyday for 12 months strait. At a school you go on co-worker hiatus for 3 months, and it's an odd feeling.
Anyway sudden change can be good and bad.


Bad... miss my crazy co-worker friends.
Good... Get lots of work done.

Bad... no laughing my butt off throughout the day.
Good... I'm going to put 30Rock on in a few minutes.

Bad... No funny co-worker emails throughout the day.
Good... I have pandora.com blasting through the library right now!


Well kids...I have thousands upon thousands of books to process... (notice the shoes are already off and I'm ready to rock the barcodes!) Time waits for no man, and neither does the Librarian.




P.S. I'm not totally alone... I have a special friend to keep me company. The school mascot is chilling at my desk this summer. RAAAAAAAAR!

Oh, my friend. It has been quite a while since I have visited your site, but I see that you still are able to make me laugh with the greatest of ease. What is this Peptobismol tiger that I am staring at? I do not think that I have ever come across a school mascot that is quite so...pink.

Enjoy your summer and good luck with all those bar codes!

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts.

Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW ! The clothespin wreath was so fun and easy to make!  Supplies you need: Wooden clothespins scrapbook papers Washi tape (or decorative tape) You can buy washi tape at Hambly, Amazon.com, etsy, Michaels or most craft stores) Glue Thick cardboard for circle (or Michaels sells pre-made circle forms) Felt to cover cardboard (although I skipped that step) Decorate your clothespin however you like.

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
