MIA and Classroom Completion

Hey everyone!
I have been MIA from bloggy-land.
There's a reason for that.
Here is one of them:


Yep, he's still with us.
He sure found a pair of suckers to take him in, I'll tell you what.

I know. He's super cute.
And he's super sweet.
He has some separation anxiety, so he barks himself hoarse all day.
It breaks my heart.
But he is crazy happy to see us when we get home.


We really want to keep him, but we don't think we can.
He's still a little puppy who can't wait to go potty for longer than 7 hours.
And we have jobs that keep us away from home for 10 to 12 hours at a time.
This little one needs more time, attention, and walks than we are able to provide.


Fritz, my number one pup, couldn't care less that we are gone for those long stretches.
He's a total loner dog who just wants to be left alone under the couch.
He's pretty much the perfect dog for us, he's just like us in every way.

Anyways, we are still working to find Fry a home.
Any takers?

Here is reason number 2:


Completed classroom, WA HOO!!!!
The wonderful hubby took four days off to help me put my room together.
Isn't he the best?!
I sure caught a good one!

Check it out:

Please please PLEASE excuse all the stuff on the right of this picture (orange chair, huge boards, shelf like thing, TV with table cloth...)! The custodians will remove it from my room next week, but I was impatient for pictures!
I had no where else to put my hanging buckets. This will work, haha.

View from behind my desk. Doesn't the paper put some life into that terrible desk?!





View from my projector. I'm in love with that rug, I think I might go buy another.




I still have to put title on all of my bulletin boards, but I want to laminate the letters.
So, I will have to scramble to do that next week.
I'm pleased with it, I love all the bright colors.
Especially all of the orange.  :)

I'm excited to start, but I have to be honest.
I'm super nervous about the first day of school.
I'm kind of freaking out.

So, I'm off for the night to rest up.
I have to be in training tomorrow morning at 7:30 AM.
Holy moly!
