Long time, no see, my friends! Thank you for sharing your
critter stories and wishing me luck last week. Some of your stories gave me the heebie jeebies. Luckily, I did not see anything scurrying about. Whew! Really dodged a bullet there. My coworker told me about something that you can plug in and it lets off some kind of sound or something that the little mice don't like. I am definitely going to invest in some of those. Because I'd rather not see another mouse. Ever.
I only worked one day this past week. The first day back from break. So the kids were exhausted and not really with it. My sub said they were awesome the rest of the week, so hopefully the awesomeness will continue when I have to work a full five days next week. Why was I out, you ask?
{I'm the short one. The tall girl is my little sister. I only clarify for you because waitresses at restaurants can't seem to get it straight. She gets the drink menu and I get the kid's menu. Never fails. Every time. I'll enjoy my youthful looks for as long as I can.}
My little brother was deployed to Afghanistan for a year. He's enjoying {and by enjoy, I mean training all day long} sunny Texas {see why I said
enjoy? Texas has to be funner than Afghanistan} for the next few weeks and then he will head on over. So we spent a couple of days in Indianapolis having some family time {at PF Changs. Yum!} and seeing him off. I told him that I have about 450 or so teacher friends that I can count on to keep the mail coming all year long. Please let me know if you, your class, or your school would like a soldier buddy to send letters, etc to throughout the year. Either comment or email me {mspreppyblog at gmail dot com} and I'll get you hooked up with all of the information.
In other superfun news,
Sarah and I are all in on a Valentine's exchange! We will be posting details very soon, so check back with us. We have some exciting things up our sleeves!
