TGIF!!!!

And boy do I mean that one!!! It's been a busy week! I have fallen into a nice groove and life isn't so stressful anymore. I really am enjoying being room mom. I got the best best thank you from some children in Lydia's class yesterday. I was up there helping with a PTA function so I stopped in her classroom to see if her teacher needed anything. As I was there talking to her teacher one little boy came up to me and just hugged on me for a good 3 minutes. Poor little soul put his arms around my waist and laid his head on my side and just stayed there for a good few minutes. When he walked away another little boy came up and did the same thing. No words, they just needed hugs. I really hope there children get as much love at home at my own children do.

Our school book fair starts this week. I helped set up yesterday. I LOVE books!!! I have always loved books. It really takes me back to my own school days, it was always so much fun to see all the books. I lived in the COUNTRY, so the closest I had come to a book store was the selection at Wal Mart. So to see all those new books set up in our school was so cool to me as a kid. They have some really cool books out there. Lydia is into the Fancy Nancy stuff right now, so she loves those books. There is a book call Gallop that I'm going to get for Georgia, and I'm going to let Claire get whatever she wants, I'm sure it will be Barbie something. There are also several good adult books that I would like to have and a GREAT selection of cookbooks. I have a sickness for cookbooks. I can't turn a cookbook down, even if it's bad.

I think my parents are going to be here tomorrow night, fingers crossed because i told my girls already. Tomorrow is also the biggest yard sale in our city and WOOHOO it's in my neighborhood. Not so woohoo! My neighborhood and the even bigger one right next to me are involved. It's so crazy here for this one day. It's huge and so hard to go anywhere if you need anything. People that don't live here really act like butt holes. They drive like butt holes, drive on our nice medians that we pay to keep done and they liter and are just all in all jerky! They set up food vendors through the neighborhoods and it's just chaos for the people that live here. Here's hoping I find some good stuff!!!

So I'm off to play trouble with my Clarie then grocery shop. 1st stop Target to get a Starbucks and toilet paper, hummmm, did I mean to put those two things together??? Anyway I'm so happy that the Pumpkin spice latte is back!! In Maryland the grocery store I shopped at had a Starbucks in the store that so was awesome!!!
