is there anyone who eat peeps???







Today was report card day at school. Basically this is the last time we will see our students before summer vacation. The last time they will be a part of our class. The kids come in, get their report card, and can leave directly after. Now I usually take goodies that I have left in my classroom and divide them up, and give them to my students on the last day. One more treat for the road! :) This year, the school got some Easter candy donated from CVS I think. There was sooo much that even after the teachers had taken some to give to all their students, there were left-overs. Well, turns out, we still had some left. And for all of you sitting there thinking, What - Easter was when?! And they still have candy?! And they gave it away today?! Two things - One, there are so many preservatives in some candy, it may be on this Earth longer than me. And, two, we are talking about kids. Kids will eat pretty much anything you give them. Remember Mikey? Give it to Mikey, he'll eat anything?? That is the rule with most kids. Yes, there are some picky ones that go against the majority. Just once, I was to bust open a pinata in my classroom and watch the scene that happens next. If I didn't fear some would rip the limbs off others for their favorite candy, I would do it.




Anyways, we had this Easter candy sitting on a table in the hall. All of us in our wing stand or sit in front of the trophy case with our report cards so kids and their parents can find us easily. We have this table of candy set up. The chocolate goes first. Then the jelly beans hit the road. But what did we have the most of...Peeps! I, myself have never been a fan of peeps. I think they are really cute and funny, but I do not wish to waste calories on those things! I guess I am finding out more and more, that I am not the only one who thinks this way. I guess since they make them in every color, and have them out every year, I assumed everyone except me loved peeps. Well...it was SO difficult to get rid of these peeps! We were giving them away and most of the kids didn't want them. Folks, when you are giving candy away and kids turn it down...that's bad!!! So now I form the question, is there anyone who really likes peeps??? Do you buy them and just eat one and then ask, why did I buy these??? Cause if so, you probably don't like peeps either. :) Honestly, if I did buy some peeps, it would be to make scenes like the pictures I have posted on this blog. I find them to be humerous.

    Yep, Peeps were somehow or another one of my favorite Easter candies, yet - thinking back, it's sort of like you said - I'd eat one and that would be it. LOL

    It's just a tradition to receive them in the basket, if only to throw them away months later, which is what I did with Sarah's Peeps from Easter just about a month ago, lol.

    Too funny - the photos are hilarious.
    Happy Summer! :)

my shelter from the storm....

One of the selling points of Southern Illinois is unpredictability. Weather is certainly something we can never really predict or think we have a "good hold on" in this area. It has snowed in March, had tornadoes in December, and you never really know how to dress to stay a comfortable temperature. For this reason, when I see the bright colors on the weather channels map of this area, the clouds change, and winds pick up - I ready the basement. I think "the May 8th storm" - may it live in infamy - taught us to be cautious of Spring/Summer transition weather. I also think it made every person a little cautious of bad weather, turn nutso. If I'm being honest, I will admit that I do fear sleeping right through a tornado. I don't why I should fear that, I mean it would be the best way to go. But with my sick and twisted mind, I fear that I will wake, mid wind sweep while I am whirling through the air, to panic and say to myself - Why didn't I fear th...

Where did that blogger go???

Tonight is one of the first nights that I have really used my laptop here at home in a few weeks. I realized that my busy schedule lately has left me checking both emails and facebook via Blackberry. Don't get me wrong, I love this feature of my phone, but when wanting to really browse my internet addictions, it leaves something to be desired. That is why, after fixing dinner and cleaning the kitchen, I decided to dust off the purple Dell and take it for a spin. As I checked my facebook and did the normal rounds, I realized that it had been a while since I blogged. This once outlet, de-stressor, and overall pleasure of mine has apparently gone to the waste-side. My last blog entry was MONTHS ago. I can't believe that I have let myself get this busy! So I took a few minutes and thought about what had been keeping me from my blogging. I am in the second month of a new school year. I must say that this is going to be a great year. This group of kids will be loa...

my favorite person

We go through many stages in life. There are different times in our lives when different people are included. When we grow up, we sometimes don't always end up with the same friends we had as children. Having the same friends as an adult, that you had when you were a child is a rare thing. Even though it is a sad thought, we grow up - and the closeness we share with some, fades away. I am very lucky girl. My favorite person in the world has been one of my best friends for as long as I can remember. My brother and I have remained so close over the years. When I think who I know the best, who can cheer me up with a single facial expression, and who I consider my favorite person in the world - the answer is always the same. Nick. Our lives have changed dramatically. We have grown up, gone on our own paths, and still remain such close friends. I don't know anyone else who understands me, can make me laugh, or love me unconditionally as Nick can. He truly is one in a mi...
