Finally!!

I am a librarian again. I am working in a PK-4 elementary. The school was new last year but the librarian became ill during the fall so they essentially did not have a librarian last year. They were so excited to see me which really made me fell I made the right decision to return to the library.
The school has a Western theme so I found Woody, Jessie and Bullseye to introduce the library rules and procedures to the kids.

I am having fun and glad I made this decision.

Just around the bend

13 days left of school (not that I'm counting) and I can only look ahead to August and a new school year in a new school in a new district. Somewhere where I am greeted with big smiles, hugs and "we are so glad you are here!" What a difference from where I have been.

I am reading books like crazy after a many months-long "drought". I am reading through the 2008-09 Texas Bluebonnet Award list, the latest Stephenie Meyer's book, The Host, Angels and Demons by Dan Brown, The Road by Cormac McCarthy and any new children's book I can get my hands on.

Life is looking up!! And just in time for summer - Grand Canyon, here I come!

Are you still here??

(Duffy pretty much sums up his attitude about the holidays.)


Hi, how are you? Have you been here long? Sorry, didn't see you there but then I haven't been here since August!

Actually, my blog is one of my opening tabs so I do see it from time to time as I skim across the top looking for another tab.

Nothing really to say - just trying to get through the school year with the hopes that I will be somewhere else next August.

Times flies and I wish I had more to say about my life but it is what it is. Don't you hate that saying? I can't believe I just used it.

My boys are doing great. I am devoted to them and when my friends with human children start complaining about the things their kids are doing and/or saying, I am really glad to have my canine kids.

I've been in an astoundingly long "reader's block". I have had the same YA book sitting by my bedstand since December. I have rechecked it once then checked it out and rechecked it on my aunt's library card - that's twelve weeks and I still haven't finished it. I hang my head in shame.

I went to a crop last night for the first time in a while. It was fun - I got to use the Cricut for the first time. I cut letters for a title on one of the pages I was creating. I have just ordered some more supplies from scrapbook.com - somebody stop me!!

That's it for now. I feel the need to go do something so I can add it to my blog before summer. We'll see - later!!
