Did you click this post because of the title? Where you hoping
for something juicy/naughty? Well…I hate to disappoint but I probably will.
Those of you who follow me on FB know that we have a pointer issue in our
house. Yes, my husband has been giving the finger daily. This is why you don't take hubs to the teacher store. Check out his antics

This is what happens when I leave for a week. That pointer is on MY pillow! I did appreciate hubs not being in his birthday suit!
He left his pointer at work and one of his employees put it in the compactor with a ransom…so many FB likes or the pointer gets it!
The next day, we found out that Pointy was saved. I think we would have had to seriously had a funeral.
Yep, he is in need for an intervention or 12 step program. I would think it is really weird but he, along with hundreds of FB friends, are having way too much fun!! So, are you giving anyone the finger lately, pointer finger that is!??
Moving on…I realized I haven’t posted much
this month so here you go. Now don’t be jealous but I have been busy all week for
real cleaning my housing, going through kids’ drawers and mine, along with
cleaning closets. I mean, people we are
CLEAN up in this house. I forced myself to step away from the computer and get
some stuff done, non-teacher stuff that is. Of course I am leaving this morning
for three days to attend Frog Street Press Houston, so who knows what it will
look like when I get home, haha! I can’t
believe that I haven’t posted about Vegas yet either. Man, oh man…I had fun!
I was scared out of my panties to go alone but let me tell you I have worked my
tush off since school got out and haven’t really had a break. If you remember,
my vaca was a big fat flop that left me in need of some serious therapy.

When I walked into, what was the nicest room I have ever stayed
in, I thought..I have entered into heaven. Then, I realized it was all MINE and
I made the rules and didn’t have to follow them..hehe! Here is my room and
bathroom.

Now, with three kids you can imagine the fun I have cleaning
and keeping up with everything. Yall, I didn’t clean up a thing in several
days. I hadcrap clothes thrown every way. I didn’t even make my bed,
which is a big no no in my house…only
because I feel like I sleep better in a made bed. And, I realized I could sleep
in my birthday suit. What? Ok, too much information? Oh well. Haha! And just
for clarification, I did NOT have a roommate. That would have been awkward. J

I met great speakers and found new favorite ideas and classroom
music that I will share with you later, but for now, here is a peak at my week.

Me on day one. Pictures are always better when I take them. Haha! 1000 pictures and one good one, right?
Meeting Jack Hartman!
Dinner with friends (Fran from Kindergarten Crayons and Tonya from Mrs. Solano's Kindergarten). Love them!
The strip…I love it because it is so sparkly. Um, yes I have an unhealthy addiction to glitter so I love shiny lights too!
Fran…LOVE her. She is one of the funniest people I have ever met. She is just brilliant I tell you!!
Blogger meet up…this was so fun. I was so shy, which is so NOT like me. I was kinda star struck. I mean, these ladies know their stuff.
I finally met my friend Deanna Jump. I love her blog and we have gotten to know each other this year but it was nice to meet all of these people for real. The virtual world is a nice place, but it's nothing like meeting face to face!
I had such a great time. I have so much more to share but this post is getting too long. You're bored, aren't you? Dangit! Haha. Okay, I am off to Houston to present at FSP. This is my second time this summer so at least I know what to expect. I will post about that AMAZING conference when I get back. Then, I am off to NYC for the Blogher convention. What musical should I go see??
To end, I'll let you in on a little secret. I am having a Christmas in July SALE and YOU are invited!! Everything in my Teacher's Notebook store is 30% off and all of my holiday stuff is on sale on TPT. If you are getting ready for the new school year, I hope this will help. Don't forget to check out my classroom decor sets. Y'all have me slaving on this computer to try and finish all the the themed requests. I love it and it's such a blessing to my family!
Have a great day!! Again, what musical should I see???
Mrs. Lundquist says
Lol. The "finger" is cracking me up! Your room in Vegas looks divine! 🙂
The Teachers Backpack says
The whole "finger" things sounds something like my husband would do. Haha! I know what you mean about cleaning. I've been doing the same thing. Have fun at Frog Street Press.

Mrs. Lindsey says
The pictures with the pointer are great! LOL! Every time my husband goes with me to the teacher store he ALWAYS picks up a pointer and pokes me with it. It never fails.

Crystal,
I don't even know what to say about this week with you. You have so much to offer the world and I am so lucky to have met you. If we lived near each other I would be in your kitchen drinking coffee until you tossed me out! You are smart, loving, and full of fun! You are just the best of what teachers can be.
Much love,
Fran

I agree with what Ash said, "You should see Wicked!" It's an awesome show! I've seen it 6 times in different venues and it's always incredible! Thanks for the mats for letters, etc.
