Easter

We had a pretty good Easter. The food was amazing as usual. I ran to old navy and stocked up on some tanks and stuff before heading home to do lesson plans. I feel better now that they're done but the Sunday evening blues have hit me hard. I accomplished a lot this week and I know summer is right around the corner. I wanted to share a few things I've painted/distressed so far. I can't wait to do my table. I may start the chairs next weekend. The first is a shelf that I literally pulled from the side of the road somewhere. It was the first piece I did and was relatively easy. The second is an antique radio cover that my grandma gave me. My family has tons and tons of old furniture and wood from my great grandmas house so there is plenty to work on.

What I've been up to

I'm thinking about getting back into blogging again for about the 100th time. I haven't been successful so far and my life is pretty boring. Today (Easter Sunday) makes 4 months without my brother and I don't know how long it will take for holidays not to suck so bad. My sweet great aunt came and gave my house a major overhaul. I got new furniture and curtains for the living room and I no longer have miscellaneous crap in the guest room or office closet. I went with bonded leather because it's so much easier to clean. Faith sheds a ton for a pit bull and the bonded leather doesn't scratch.




I'm working on refinishing my dining room table and chairs. All of my furniture is espresso colored and I've had it awhile so it's time to paint and distress a little so everything isn't so dark. I broke down and bought a pretty nice sander so that should make things easier.

School

Is it really almost Monday again? Ugh. This past week was crazy. We got a new student in the middle of the week. I had two kids that had poop accidents, my evaluation from our facilitator was terrible. She came on a day when we had recess inside, no one was cleaning their centers, and we ran out of time during the lesson. It doesn't go in our file and I know this is my first year in head start but I still feel like a huge failure. I'm such a perfectionist and I want to make sure my kids are getting what they need. There is a lot of freedom to teach whatever in head start and I'm just not used to it yet. The principal I had last year could be downright hateful so I'm still kind of afraid of getting fussed at. The facilitator was so nice and offered help if I needed it. I tried posting some photos of the kids but apparently it's not working . Please Lord let this week get better. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
