First week Randomness

I would love to show you my classroom but due to out of stock borders and new job duties, my room is not done yet! But we have Open house on the 5th, so it WILL be done for the most part by then. So I wanted to share some randomness ......

Well before I went back to school to start working on my new room, I had to take a little trip

Boy did I spend alot! But it really is worth it!

Then that week while working on room I inherited cabinets, but didn't have the time to paint them, so found THIS idea to perk them up! Here is the result!

Then I FINALLY got my new car (started the process in May) I love my Terrain but I didn't listen and back in 2009 & ordered the first model off the line. Boy did I learn 4 batteries, 1 alternator, thermostat, etc....I did upgrade to 2013 Terrain same color in fact (I love the gray) but more importantly new warranties. So God forbid something goes on this one, I have them to fall back on!

Then the first day of school, while at our High school for inservice, someone hit my new car.....

I think it can be buffed out, but first day of school didn't want to start the year with accusations on who didn't fess up. OY!

Saw this on facebook, and shared with my former boss (Before school worked in politics) who is running for Governor of IL......

Before I go back to my very long to do list, I wanted to give a shout out to Mel D for being on the Today show blog! Woo to the hoo! Catch you later!
