It's Monday and I'm on Vacation!

This morning as I was rushing to get out of the house...on my first day of Christmas Vacation none the less, my husband says, "Jess, don't freak out but Wilson barfed on one of the Christmas presents..." 
super Wilson. thanks.
(I won't tell you whose it was so they don't feel bad that they're getting the barfed on gift. Don't worry I cleaned it off :)

Then I was off to the stinky Vehicle Registration office. I've been dreading or rather avoiding it for weeks...I tend to drag things out and make them worse than they are. 
Luckily I only had to wait for about a minute before the same grumpy man from last year helped me.  I was going to wish him happy holidays and then didn't because he made me feel stupid for asking what the date was. 

I proceeded with my errands. Target (which I'm pretty sure I was there yesterday too) and the grocery store which is crammed full of people literally running down the isles.
I felt very grown up today.
Getting the shopping done for my husband :)
--------
On another note, this is what our apartment looks like right now  
which is making me sad. It is however making my cats exited because they now have a built in jungle gym. 
We only have a couple weeks left until the big day. This will be my fifth apartment in five years. 
sigh* I can't wait until we can buy a house someday. 

I hope your Monday is off to a good start...only 5 more days until Christmas (come on snow...do your magic) and only 2 more days until my sister comes home!

I Can't Resist

I know you probably don't like staring at pictures of my sweet cats...but I had to share this picture I took of little Princess Margo.   She was just a little puff ball laying on our white sheets (hmm black cats and white sheets....) and it was the perfect photo op.
She is so cute I can barely stand it :)

Things you get to do if you're a Kindergarten teacher

Make reindeer faces using an AB pattern
Watch Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (this is much creepier than I remember it being...)
Read favorite holiday stories
Give boxes of crayons as Christmas gifts...I love the smell of new crayons (admit it, you probably love smelling crayons too)
My students were so excited! So many of our students don't have supplies at home so this was the perfect gift. 

Report Cards are done,
test scores turned in,
planning complete.


Now I'm just counting down the days until Kate and Bobby get here!

No Sleep

and here's why....

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me
A husband sneezing very loudly!
On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Two cats hacking hairballs
and a Husband sneezing very loudly!
On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Three neighbors yelling
Two cats hacking hairballs
and a husband sneezing very loudly! 

I would keep going but I overslept and am now running significantly late... 

How many days left of school you ask?
3


I think I can I think I can I think I can...
