Five for Friday Baby Time


http://doodlebugsteaching.blogspot.ca/2015/02/five-for-friday-linky-party-february-6th.html



This has been a crazy week!  I only made it to school on Monday, and it was a three day week with kids.  Last week it came to my attention that an ex- was stalking me online.  I have worked hard to establish myself on TPT and I really wanted to step up my blogging.  I just don't know how I feel about this person reading my posts.  So I will take any ideas, thoughts and suggestions.

 
 #bestdayever #thankful #iamloved  Got a text from my school that I had this lovely bouquet in the office!  Certainly did not expect this, loved it!!  So nice to feel the love from my "helpful smile in every aisle" guy.  (Anyone from Iowa?  You know that catch phrase!)  I had a text because..... 
 
 I was at the hospital, at home, out walking, at the hospital, back home, at the hospital with this one!  The oldest was in labor for nearly 48 hours.  Let me just tell you, labor and babies are for young people. I think I had a combined 3 day total of 10 hours of sleep!  Emerson is guarding the belly.
 
 
 I have to reschedule EVERY single Parent/Teacher conference.  EVERY single one.  The grandson literally arrived on conference Day 1.  It was so hard to know if we should call parents and postpone, but ultimately I did.  I'm glad I did, because my daughter was pushing at 8:00pm!!  Let's face it, I can't conference when I am holding the little dude today!
 
Here's little dude's impromptu announcement that I sent out to my co-workers. 
Love Creative Clips!!!
