H might get to go to a conference in NYC in November and I might be going with him! It's lots of 'mights' but I hope it works out. I have always wanted to go to NYC.
Can you reset the stone(s) into earrings or a necklace? Or both if it's three stone?
You remember it. Yup. Three stones. Gorgeous. Designed for me. So pretty that the jeweler now sells it on the website and is called the "Victoria." Yup.
Eta, I thought about that. But I was thinking that wearing it would be sad, too. I don't know.
Hang on to it for a while. Just put it somewhere safe out of the way. If you can I'd have your mom hang on to it for a while.
My Mom's first engagement gift was earrings. He didn't give her a ring. She didn't wear them for a while after they got divorced but she started wearing them again after she married my Dad. She didn't associate them with her ex. They were just a beautiful pair of diamond earrings to her. They became mine when she died and I wear them every day. So that said. Hang on to them for a year or two and then decide what you want to do with it.

I just finished up planning tomorrow for my Earth Science kids. I need to work on my physics plans for the week and do some grading. I've decided that I'm throwing out all of the stuff the sub had them do. All of it. He didn't grade it, he didn't put it in the computer if he did grade it. He has no rubrics and they learned nothing so out it goes.
I just pulled pumpkin muffins out of the oven and our apartment smells amazing.
I'm doing a massive cooking day today; chili in the crockpot, going to make applesauce with some of the apples we picked, and going to make these www.fitsugar.com/Roasted-Honey-Cinnamon-Chickpeas-27908653 to pack as a healthy snack to take to work.
I need to clean out our pantry, too, but that may end up waiting until next weekend.

I just took my first ever Zumba class and I looked like a drunk monkey in the class. As soon as I'd figure out the move, it would change. Damn I am uncoordinated. Now I'm on the couch and I'm not sure if I'll move for the rest of the day.
A friend and I will be getting pedis and indian food later today, then I think I will have a good late night cry about some things.
Oh, and I will go to the gym at some point.
What's going on? Hope you are ok!
I am, I promise. I just have been really down on myself lately and am just bummed out about life. I shouldn't even be sad or anything, I just can't seem to shake it. Thank you for asking, though

I am organizing and cleaning my bedroom. I am 3/4 of the way done. But I'm fucking tired and I don't want to finish lol So my room is a mess because I pulled so much stuff out, and I am sitting here staring at it and GBCNing. Oops.

I haven't felt nauseous in almost two weeks so I thought I was totally done with that stage of pregnancy. I made brownies this afternoon and I just finished prepping my favourite sweet and sour chicken which is in the oven as we speak. I was so excited about this dinner but I just got hit with a wave of nausea so now I'm eating cheerios and trying not to barf. Hopefully I'll feel better later so I can enjoy my awesome dinner.

I am notorious for starting projects and not finishing them. I say take a break and get back to it later.
Why are kids so creepy? This was the conversation I had with Sofia today:
s: " oh dear!! I can't find it! Where's the moon??" Me: "it's sleeping. The moon only comes out at night" S: " like ghost???" Me:
Ive never said anything about ghosts to her because well, I don't want to scare her. Now she's scaring me. Lol.
We don't talk about ghosts in our house either. The other day the girls and I had returned from visiting a playground in honor of one of the Sandy Hook children that were killed and my daughter said, "There's a ghost in my tummy." She kept repeating it.
I'm recovering from an amazing weekend. H and I went to a great wedding last night at a place on the ocean. Left andy with MIL. Got a room with a balcony and a view. Got drunk, danced our asses off, stole a bottle of jack from the bar and ordered a pizza when the wedding was over.
A much needed night away. We def need to do it more often.

Ah well, it's probably just babushka, lol. Kids, man.
DH arrived home from Austin this afternoon and brought kolaches with him. The REALLY good ones from Hruska's with cream cheese AND fruit filling. Mmmmmm.

My long term sub did this to me last year while I was on maternity leave. I came back to 8 weeks of an empty gradebook. I was piiiiiiissssssed. The kids did what I had planned, but he didn't teach anything, didn't give them feedback on anything, and didn't grade anything.
So, naturally, the school hired him. His classroom is right next to mine. I can't even look at him anymore. He knows I hate him.

The apple orchard was SO busy today. We were there for three hours. Stood in line at the food tent for awhile, then stood in line for at least 30 min to get into the market where you buy all the goodies. Then they were out of cider donuts and were making more, so we had to stand in a separate line to wait for those.
But we got a dozen of the yummy donuts, some caramel apples, regular apples, caramel dipping sauce and caramel nuggets. I love this time of year!
1. I am dying to go apple picking this year. I always love going.
2. FB has me realizing I dodged a bullet with one of my exes. Every time there is a mass shooting, he posts some stupid fucking NRA shit. I had to hide him (and one other person) after Sandy Hook. I checked his page after the Navy Yard incident and he is back at it. Blah.

Real kolaches have meat in them but those are good too.

I hate when that happens! A few weeks ago I had a similar moment and sent this panicked picture to nicbreeful

Yeah I'm hoping they don't hire this guy. He's a disaster. I came in as the permanent teacher after the kids had him and another sub for just over a month. I'm a first year teacher and cleaning up the mess he created for me is rough!

I think I'm going to take the advice sue Sue gave me re: life and school. I need to just go for it. I have this big hang up about my age and being like my mother and I just need to put it aside and go for it. I'm scared to death about it.
I had to make the decision to put down our 6 week old foster kitten yesterday and it's still bothering me even though I know it was the right decision.

was he sick?
The vet said she had a puncture wound to her hip area that had probably caused nerve damage to her bowels and/or bladder.
Based on what we saw, she would have probably died from build up of toxins because she couldn't pee.
