Monday, May 19. My mom's rose bush is starting to bud and bloom. I love the roses!
Tuesday, May 20. My allergies have been acting up and I've determined that this is the culprit. The lovely pine trees that surround our house. That, folks, is not a pine cone forming. That is pollen ready to make my nose stuffy, my throat scratchy, and make me start hacking and coughing until I annoy myself. Gotta love spring!
Wednesday, May 21. We found a robin's nest in one of our bird houses by the garden and it has 5 eggs in it, but I couldn't maneuver my camera to take a good picture. So when I was walking around the yard, I found this other bird's nest up in a tree by the barn. I can't tell if there are any eggs in it cause it's so high up, but just the possibility is exciting.
Thursday, May 22. I took this picture of Sophie while I was waiting on my dad to come back out to the truck. He took the tractor over to Granny's house and I had to go pick him up in the truck. I brought Sydni and Sophie with us and then we ran to Houston's to get something to eat. I was in a bad mood for whatever reason. Mostly annoyed and going to Houston's annoyed me even more cause they said our food would be ready in 20 minutes and it wound up being more like an hour! I wouldn't have been so annoyed but my season finale of Ugly Betty was starting and I missed the first 30 minutes of it cause we were waiting on the food. So, to try to calm my annoyance I played with some different camera shots and got this. I really like it too. I wanted to get her looking in the mirror but I couldn't take it without me being in it and I didn't want that.
Friday, May 23. We had Award's Day and our 2nd Grade cookout.Yay! They all made fun of my hat but it kept the sun off my face and helped me stay a little shaded out on the hot hill at school. This is my little friend who's sister is in my class. She apparently calls me her bestest bestest bestest friend. Such a sweetie!
Saturday, May 24. What do you do when you need to finish something for work? Clean your room apparently! I always do that. I feel the need to organize everything else in my life before I can work on what I really need to finish, like my kids' scrapbooks. So, I spent all day cleaning my room out, organizing things, and hanging up my pictures. I decided months ago to make a little collage type thing of pictures I've taken that I love and this is what I have. You can't really tell which pics I chose, so you'll just have to come visit my house to see, but I love them and they make me happy each day I look at them.
Sunday, May 25. OUR ANNUAL FISHING TRIP!!!! I love to fish and I especially love to go night fishing. The next couple of pics are from our trip. We had a really good time, great weather, great company, and we even had a great catch. So much fun!
Everyone trying to help catch some minnows to set the trot line. 
He tries to pretend like she doesn't have him wrapped around her finger, but look who is baiting HER fishing pole. Go Keri!
Oh yes! I got a big one! Well, not really in this picture, but eventually I did catch one. I mostly like to cast out and reel in to be honest with you. It's a bonus if I actually catch one.
Monday, May 26. It sprinkled on us a little bit when we camped out last night. But there is absolutely NOTHING like sleeping out in nature, under the stars, listening to the river flow beside you, frogs croaking, birds chirping, and fish splashing. I LOVE IT!!! We fished a little bit more when we got up with rods and reels. Keri, my dad, and I were fishing on this HUGE log when this enormous black cloud rolled in. We rushed to get everything packed up and headed home, but it didn't rain until much later in the day. It was a perfect day to just lounge out and do nothing!
Tuesday, May 27. I decided that I wanted to give all of my kids a gift that they could take with them. Most of the other teachers decided to make dvds of pictures from the year, but I'm always wary that some of my kids don't have access to a dvd player or computer so I decided to make each one of them a mini scrapbook with pictures of them from the year. It was a bit of an undertaking because I didn't realize how long it would really take me, but finally I finished all of them. It was such a wonderful feeling! They loved them when I gave them too. I let them sign each other's books too. Love it!
Wednesday, May 28. I woke up early for some reason and had a little extra time on my hands before I had to leave. I felt pretty, so I thought I would take a picture. Enough said.
Thursday, May 29. We had play day today. Basically we did the same things we've done all week, watch movies in the morning but then in the afternoon we went outside for 3 hours. FUN! I took a spray bottle and kept spraying the kids with them. They thought it was hilarious. One of the 4th grade teachers brought us a chrysalis that was about to hatch. We watched it all day and when we came back in from play day, it had hatched and was about to take flight. I thought it was really neat. 
Friday, May 30. We passed out report cards, had a cookout for the retirees, and packed up some stuff in our rooms. I went to town afterward to go by Wal-mart. When I got home I saw that these little guys were popping up everywhere around the front porch. It hasn't been raining that much so it must be from the humidity. They are pretty interesting I think. These are right around the blocks that hold up the barrel that some of my flowers are in.
Saturday, May 31. This is not the picture of the day I wanted to post, but I haven't gotten all of the pictures I want from this day. Today was one of my best friend's weddings. I got up early and went to help set up the reception area. 30 table cloths, 284 chair covers and 284 lovely tied bows in the morning humidity with 3 of my best friends was a great way to start the day. I actually had fun despite the heat and tying bows. April's wedding was beautiful. Perfectly her. I love to see how weddings have a personality similar to the couple getting married. I don't know how to explain what I'm saying, but every wedding I've been to has perfectly fit the couple's personalities. The reception was fun. I just love hanging out with friends. Julie came over afterward so we could figure out how to set up the tent she is taking to Bonnaroo. That was an endeavor! It took over an hour to figure it out but we did it! Then we watched us some Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom in Pirates of the Caribbean, YUMMY! 
Sunday, June 1. This is our garden. Do you like how you can't see any weeds? That would be because my dad felt we should pull all the weeds today. Yay! It wasn't that bad, but it's just not my most favorite thing in the world to do. The garden does look good though.
Monday, June 2. I went to school today and finished packing my room up so they can come clean the floors. I am the ultimate pack rat. Everything I own in that classroom is shoved, stowed and hidden on that wall on that counter or in the cabinets. I am awesome! A funny story too. This picture of the turtle was how I started my day off. When I walked out on to the front porch to call the dogs up, I found this turtle. I was really puzzled as to how it got there. Then Radar (my dad's dog) came up with another turtle in her mouth and dropped it on the sidewalk. I knew then how the turtle got there. So funny. 
Tuesday, June 3. When my dad got home we hauled a load of hay to my Granny's house. I think it's fun to haul hay. It can be a little hot and hard but it's fun to me.Ok, I do have pictures from Wednesday and today on my camera but I haven't put them on the computer yet. I'm out of school, so I'll put them on TOMORROW. I will, when I get up. I promise. hehe. Thanks for reading! Love ya!
