We are so excited about the new little blessing that will be coming into our family in June. This one was not as surprising as Caroline so we found out pretty early. I still have 3 weeks to wait until I see the doctor. I've been feeling good so far, no sickness, just pretty tired.<br /><br />I updated the blog with new pictures. We had pictures made with Sean's family at the end of the summer and though I still very much prefer Alisa's photography, they'll do until I can get to Lubbock again :) Can you believe how big Caroline is getting?<br /><br />School is, well, going. I don't really like to go into many details about my job on my blog for the obvious reasons, but I'll go ahead and say I'm having a bad year. A really bad year. I've cried more in the last seven weeks than I have in my last 8 years combined. Prayers would be appreciated.<br /><br />This is random, but I've been so stressed lately that to calm myself down before bed every night I watch old episodes of The Office on DVD. I'm completely addicted to it. Tonight was the first episode of the new season I watched. Was everyone else laughing so hard they could barely breathe? I was dying laughing...it was just what I needed!<br /><br />I'm looking forward to tomorrow...TGIF! Hope you all have a great weekend!<br /><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div>Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03195020020985693124noreply@blogger.com56tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32595353.post-69643435615945169742009-08-29T21:36:00.003-05:002009-08-29T21:47:53.548-05:00My first week of school by the numbers...12...kids in my class on the first day of school.<br /><br />16...kids in my class on the second day of school.<br /><br />6...kindergarten teachers started the week at my school.<br /><br />4...kindergarten teachers are left.

Does anyone else ever think that? I started this post awhile back, but then I got distracted and I'm just now finishing it up. Happens to me all the time. Anyway, here's the pictures from our Tech friends family vacation to New Braunfels. <br /><br />I remember when I was in middle school, one of my teachers used to often tell our class that she was so excited that we had college ahead of us, because we would make such great memories and meet the best friends of our lives. She was right! I've been friends with these guys for a decade now, and though we don't get to see each other as much as we would like to, it's just like old times when we get together. We try to plan a vacation every year, and this summer the weekend that worked best happened to be my 30th birthday. I can't imagine a better way to have spent my special day!<br /><br />We rented a house right off the river and floated the Comal, went to dinner at the Gristmill, visited Schlitterbahn and just had a great time being together! They even threw me a party with decorations and everything! It was just perfect! Can't wait for the next "family vacation!"<br /><br /><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div>Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03195020020985693124noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32595353.post-89862925696580090952009-07-06T12:25:00.006-05:002009-07-15T20:51:55.850-05:00Disneyworld-Day3 @ EpcotThe next day we headed to Epcot.

I tried to call yesterday, but my phone would not connect. It's not always easy for me to get a signal at school, so I didn't think anything of it. I noticed my phone said "Unregistered SIM card" on it, but my pink RAZR is pretty much the worst phone I've ever had, so again I didn't give it a second thought. I went on with the end of my day, went to the post office and headed home.<br /><br />When I got home, Sean was awake, which was weird because he usually goes back to sleep while Caroline takes her after school nap. He asked me if I had tried to call him, and I told him my phone wasn't working. He kept questioning me and I thought that it was also weird that he was VERY concerned with my phone not connecting. It's not really an out of the ordinary occurance. Out of the corner of my eye, I see that he has left a note for me on my pillow and has cleaned our room. How sweet, I thought. <br /><br />Behind the note was THIS:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOvn4A4qFqtCKBRKDEJbvqDbusWlM47x6ClfRmGTJRHvWEzonK08VMfhUbGn-8hJuU0eEiujHW0UgDkgm0wj0phGhXMPgw6NcfKCPaJMRYo45o2XW5SV3n8RVZDS_rJ56DBko/s1600-h/78624-w600.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 139px; height: 184px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOvn4A4qFqtCKBRKDEJbvqDbusWlM47x6ClfRmGTJRHvWEzonK08VMfhUbGn-8hJuU0eEiujHW0UgDkgm0wj0phGhXMPgw6NcfKCPaJMRYo45o2XW5SV3n8RVZDS_rJ56DBko/s320/78624-w600.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324985934462193762" /></a><br /><br />I was shocked and SO excited! I've been telling Sean for months that the ONLY thing I want for my 30th birthday is an iPhone. My birthday is not for 3 more months, but he surprised me a little early. When he went to buy it, he had them disconnect my old phone...that's why it wasn't working! He totally tricked me!<br /><br />I'm still trying to get the hang of how to use it, but so far I love it. If you know of any fun apps I should download, let me know! I have the sweetest husband ever.

This summer, we are going to be visiting DisneyWorld with Sean's parents and we're taking Caroline along! I'd love any advice y'all have as far as what to pack for a flight and visiting theme parks with a toddler. We got Caroline her own seat on the flight and we're staying at a Disney resort, so that will make things a little easier I'm sure. Anyway, if you have any good ideas (even if I don't "know" you) throw 'em my way!

I had been running for fun for a few years at that time, but never competed in anything longer than a 5K. My Dad had lymphoma when I was in college, so raising money for LLS was the push I needed to do a bigger race. I raised over $1000 and I loved it...even the 7:00 AM Saturday practice runs! I'd LOVE to do a full marathon someday!<br /><br />2. I HATE to be tickled. When someone tickles me, I lose all control of my body and will do ANYTHING to get out of it. I will bite, hit, kick...if you tickle me, you better watch out! I actually kicked one of my ex-boyfriends very hard in the "junk" once accidently because he tickled me. Looking back, he totally deserved it. <br /><br />3. I haven't had a landline phone in 4 years and I have not missed it once!<br /><br />4. If I could have any job in the world, I would love to be a musician in a symphony. I obviously do not have the skills for that kind of job, but I was in orchestra for 7 years in school and it was one of the most fun things I ever did.<br /><br />5. Back in the summer, I got a rare form of psoriasis from strep throat. Anyone who saw it will tell you it was awful looking and the dermatologists told me there wasn't much they could do about it. I had my tonsils removed in August to see if it helped and it did! For the last few months I have been COMPLETELY clear of any spots...you can't even tell I had it. HOORAY!<br /><br />6. I'm super attached to my Kindergarten class this year. I had actually looked at other job options over the summer, but decided to go back. I'm so glad that I did, it's really been one of my best years! I guess I had a lucky #8 instead of lucky 7.<br /><br />7. I LOVE naps! Before Caroline was born, I would take a nap every day when I got home from work. I definitely still treat myself to a good nap sometimes while she is sleeping.<br /><br />8. I'm turning 30 this summer and I really don't want to talk about it. My birthday is 7/11 like the convenience store, lest you forget.<br /><br />9. I am very obsessive about having all of the doors to my classroom shut at all times. I think the 4 years of teaching open concept PreK did that to me. 300 preschoolers, one room, no doors or walls...that'll send you right over the edge, my friends. <br /><br />10. I broke my blog. I got the pink stripe off the header, but now all my links are at the bottom. Sigh, I quit.<br /><br />I tag <a href="http://marciaellen.blogspot.com">Marcia</a>, <a href="http://averylainegreene.blogspot.com">Christa</a> and <a href="http://codyandashnelson.blogspot.com">Ashley</a>!Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03195020020985693124noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32595353.post-55769176550048622592009-01-27T14:56:00.000-06:002009-01-27T14:57:49.778-06:00Help!Does anyone know how to get the pink header stripe off of my blog?

If you'll hop over to her blog, you'll see she came up with some real doozies. I noticed from her last post that it looks like her family is doing some redecorating. As I was perusing Craigslist this morning, I found a little gem that she might want to look into. I lived with her for 2 years in college and I know she likes things clean, so I thought of her when I saw THIS:<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://decoletters.com/images/If%20you%20sprinkle%20-%20pic.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 640px; height: 480px;" src="http://decoletters.com/images/If%20you%20sprinkle%20-%20pic.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Those are some of those vinyl letters you can buy to decorate your walls. Apparently, you can also decorate your toilet...if you're into that sort of thing.

I can't even keep up with my own game. Sheesh. Sometime during the day last Sunday, I realized that it was my half birthday. I'm now closer to my 30s than my 20s. I think I spent the rest of the day in mourning.<br /><br />The picture I chose for this week was actually from this past July. <a href="http://oneservant2go.com">Matt</a>, <a href="http://thekidsaredrivingmecrazy.com">Paula</a>, Sean and I went to Dallas to see the Alison Krauss and Robert Plant concert, which was unbelievably awesome. We hit up Six Flags one day and had so much fun! It had been at least 10 years since I had been, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out I could still do the rides. The weather was beautiful and there were hardly any crowds. I think the longest we had to wait for a ride was 10 minutes. I can't wait to go back again!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxmk9ZYdly3ADvQ5aBhUODVlL_f-M8dK8K4DB3k6Z05X63TGhiACuuPaBlXThbrg1jXFLDi4cwS8D9DZ67SW-zjPNVWW6AiSz617ExYKs94stO0QN98QReS-jPCJE6k_YnHWo/s1600-h/six+flags+2008.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 198px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxmk9ZYdly3ADvQ5aBhUODVlL_f-M8dK8K4DB3k6Z05X63TGhiACuuPaBlXThbrg1jXFLDi4cwS8D9DZ67SW-zjPNVWW6AiSz617ExYKs94stO0QN98QReS-jPCJE6k_YnHWo/s320/six+flags+2008.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292761825504420034" /></a><br />Because we're suckers, we had to buy the cheesy souvenir photo.

I invite everybody to play along. The only rule is that you post a picture and the picture has to be scanned. Mostly, we're talking old school pics from before digital cameras.

Dad, Sean, Tara and I ran the Turkey Trot 5K that morning. It was my Dad's 4th time to run it, my 3rd and the first for Sean and Tara. It was pretty fun, but I realized that I'm really out of shape! I really don't have the time to run anymore. I didn't embarass myself too badly because I (a.)wasn't the last person to finish-it's happened to me before and (b.)wasn't beaten by my Dad-also happened before. Actually, I'm sure could have beat me, I think he was just being nice :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp64T7jeTXiazE39IIgQz6pUOxhbHwzcoB8Omubs_jsW6wnxUgye-TZrncfv85BhTdNRRgRHY9Nds8bw-j9SIX91vbIOlaziENmaboW6g3DNwZB3i4A1c0-VeHHLGEJFuhfrg/s1600-h/Thanksgiving+2008.2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 219px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp64T7jeTXiazE39IIgQz6pUOxhbHwzcoB8Omubs_jsW6wnxUgye-TZrncfv85BhTdNRRgRHY9Nds8bw-j9SIX91vbIOlaziENmaboW6g3DNwZB3i4A1c0-VeHHLGEJFuhfrg/s320/Thanksgiving+2008.2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287245591811877346" /></a><br /><br />While we were running, Caroline helped Mom bake.

I have to give a HUGE special thanks to <a href="http://alisajoy.com">Alisa</a> for taking the picture. If you're in the Lubbock area, she's fantastic and I HIGHLY recommend her as a photographer. Not only will she walk through dog poo and lay down in the mud to get a great shot of our family, she's super patient with my indecisiveness.

My classroom came stocked with a collection of them and I instantly fell in love with their hilarious stories. I created my own collection of about 10 from purchases at Ross and TJMaxx. I think I've only bought one from the actual bookstore. I've found some on clearance for as low as 2 dollars! Caroline's been really into reading books lately and these are some of her favorites!<br /><br /><br /><br />Downy Wrinkle Releaser<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://a1468.g.akamai.net/f/1468/580/1d/pics.Drugstore.com/prodimg/192765/200.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://a1468.g.akamai.net/f/1468/580/1d/pics.Drugstore.com/prodimg/192765/200.JPG" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />I love this stuff! I seriously do not iron anymore, EVER. I always take it on trips in case the clothes in my suitcase get wrinkly. This morning, I sprayed Caroline's corduroy dress for church and it looked good. I mean, it didn't look as great as if my Mom had ironed it, but good is good enough for me!<br /><br /><br /><br />Suddenly Salad<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.shopfoodex.com/images/1600050940S101SUD.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 415px; height: 637px;" src="http://www.shopfoodex.com/images/1600050940S101SUD.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Wow, that picture is HUGE, but I'm too lazy to change it. (BTW we buy the Classic flavor here at the Beatty house.) Last week, I made a double batch of this. I added a can of diced tomatoes, bringing the total cost of my creation to $3. It fed me three times, Sean once and Caroline got several meals out of it. What a bargain, and it's good! I was telling my Mom about it on the phone the other day and she said "I make that when I don't feel like cooking." Uh...I boiled water, opened a can of tomatoes AND mixed up the dressing. That was cooking, Mom! :)<br /><br /><br /><br />DQ Banana Split<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.dairyqueen.com/upload/item_bananasplit.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 242px; height: 156px;" src="http://www.dairyqueen.com/upload/item_bananasplit.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />The Blizzard is now dead to me.

Getting out of bed in the morning is excruciating. I'm so tired! Every day I push the snooze a little bit more.<br /><br />2. I have forgotten to take my class to the library twice this month. It's not really that huge of a deal, but it's a 30 minute break for me. Who forgets to take their break?<br /><br />3. I dressed my whole family up in our Texas Tech gear on Saturday, only to find out the game wasn't until this weekend. It didn't even occur to me to check the schedule.<br /><br />4. Showed up to church last night and remembered that church started an hour earlier this week and we missed it.<br /><br />5. I just put my sister's birthday card in the mail this morning. Her birthday was November 5th.<br /><br />6. This weekend we needed a new faucet for the sink and I sent Sean and his Dad to pick it out without me because I was too tired to go. I took a nap with Caroline instead.<br /><br />7. Went to Target last night for milk and cotton balls. Came back with all kinds of other stuff, but no cotton balls.<br /><br />Thanksgiving holiday can obviously not come soon enough...6 more work days!

I was very excited! I actually caught 2 bass while we were there and was having so much fun I didn't want to stop! Please take note that I also touched the fish.
