Teachers helping teachers!

It never ceases to amaze me how willing teachers are to help those in need.  With the recent tornadoes that have swept through the United States, many lost their homes, schools, and personal belongings.  Many teachers lost all their belongings and supplies with the tornadoes and now have to start completely over.  I cannot even fathom having to start from scratch to build up your supplies and resources.  Therefore, teachers from everywhere again are joining forces to help those in desperate need.  Please link up to help these fellow teachers by clicking on the heart below. 

A Weekend Away

Wow, this weekend flew by fast, but on the upside, after this week of school, we have Spring Break!!!!  I am so excited to have a week off to catch up on stuff!!  I have been pretty MIA this weekend and felt lost without being able to check everything on my computer.  I started my Saturday morning with a "Stress Relief" massage with a great girlfriend of mine.  After my two and a half hours of spa relief I loaded up the car with five friends to go to a Bachelorette Party in Kansas City, MO.  We stayed at the Argosy Casino and did a little gambling.  I am so not a gambler, feel awkward doing it because I don't really know what I am doing.  So after I was up twenty dollars, I stopped!!  I finally made it back home and I am exhausted.  Anyways, hope you all have a great week at work and if you are on Spring Break, enjoy!! 

New Design with bonus giveaway!

So if you haven't noticed, my blog got a new look!!!  I am in love with it!!  My sweet friend Michelle from "Our Sweet Success" helped me tremendously along the way.  I don't
