If you're a bird, I'm a bird

Inspired by jaykayknits, Joe and I ventured to Madison, GA today for sightseeing and shopping. I was looking for a chair for the guest bedroom. I found a couple that I liked, but we didn't purchase one yet. I was also looking for buttons for my baby booties. Actually, on our way home, we stopped in Bishop and happened upon this jar for $8. We found a rug for the office. The dress was so simple and flowy. It made me wish for spring. I had to take a picture of the massive lamp. We bought these memory books for fishing trips, dining experiences, and camping destinations. This porcelain mug was purchased at Laughing Moon. I have seen them before, as a matter of fact, I almost purchased them for my bridesmaids. It looks like you are drinking from a coffee shop mug, but this one is reuseable.

I started out enjoying my Exceptional Child course on Tuesdays. I am learning a lot that will be helpful for my job. I only have three weeks left, but I am thankful. Going to class after a day of teaching is emotional and physically draining. One class fall on March 9th, which is my spring break and my husband's birthday. I also have to make a 1 hour presentation that night!! As a matter-of-fact, I came home last night and stayed up for 30 minutes before going to bed. I was tired and starting to feel sick. I am at school right now. My students are taking a 70 minute quarterly benchmark on the material taught during quarter three. I have a lot of time to kill so I thought I would blog to help me relax. I periodically get up and walk around the room for proximity and check on the status of the test (ie. who is rushing, who will definitely need the whole 70 minutes, make sure they are coloring in the correct bubbles, etc). I have to teach equivalent fractions in math after th...

I have a 5K in less than two hours. I will be heading to Sandy Creek Park to register early. I am anxious about the race. I haven't even walked 3 miles for exercise recently. I know I can do it, just not prepared. I have to keep reminding myself that I am not trying to make a PR (personal record) so I shouldn't feel pressure. The weather is awesome so I am am just going to enjoy the sights and sounds. I'm not even taking music to listen to. Joe bought me Iron Girl sunglasses at Academy the other night as inspiration. My goal is to do an Iron Girl one day. I registered two years ago and couldn't bring myself to train for it. I'm hoping by doing this race today that I will fall in love with racing again and continue setting goals for myself. There is an Eco-adventure race in April that I did last year and I would enjoy doing it again. I just need to start preparing and finding my teammates. I have to start somewhere, right? RLWH

I gave the booties to my co-worker today. She cried and hugged me. She is going to the hospital tomorrow to be induced. This is her first child so it is exciting. We collaborate for reading and writing. She serves my special education students so she is going to be greatly missed while she is on maternity leave. I hope the long term sub is good!
