What I Wore!

Only one outfit to post today, folks!  I felt really good in this one, and got several compliments, so I will share with you!

Little on the blurry side, but, hey!  It was Monday, after all! Ha!  Have on my black, long and lean tank from Target with a chevron Cardigan, my red pants, and my silver flats.  I wore a long silver necklace that I love, love, love!  If not mistaken, the cardi came from Charlotte Russe, and I cannot for the life of me remember  where I got my red pants.  I'm thinking Christopher and Banks, maybe.  The flats are from American Eagle, a very long time ago. 

There you have it folks!  Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Reading!

Tuesday's Top Two

Today, being Tuesday, is a Top Two Kind of Day!

1.  I would certainly have to say that one of my favorites would have to be listening to the rain fall (as long as it's not monsoon-like).  We have had several rainy days, and I have had a very hard time getting out of bed in the mornings!  These are the BEST sleep-in kind of days!!!

 
This is soooo me!!! Bahahaha!

2.  Another favorite for today would have to be my 6th graders!  Weird, I know, but I love this age group!  So many people don't, and some days, they aren't my favorite either, however, I wouldn't trade them for anything!

There you have it, folks!  Short and sweet, but still my faves!  

Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Reading!!  See you tomorrow with a very cute outfit I wore!!!

What I Wore!

Being that I haven't posted on a Wednesday for two weeks, there is NO WAY I'm putting you through two weeks of my outfits......sooo.....I'm just picking a few of my favorites!  I thought there were only two, but it turns out there are more than that! Ha!

1. I wore this on Monday of this week.  It was a little chilly, and I have been wanting to wear this for a while.  I ordered the cardigan online from Loft, the striped tank underneath is also from Loft.  The dark blue skinny pants are GAP and the boots are Nordstrom.  I can guarantee this whole outfit was less than what the regular price of the boots were (I got them on sale)!  This was a Pinterest - Nailed IT outfit!  I couldn't leave it unbuttoned (not so comfortable with that look yet).  I also changed up the necklace for a green waterfall instead of the melon color.

                    

2.  This outfit I wore actually has the same GAP pants.  I ordered the shirt online at LOFT (good sale) and wore one of my Target long torso tanks.  Wore my navy ballet flats from Dress Barn.

 3.  This one was another LOFT shirt.  It has the scoop neck, but my favorite thing about it?  The crochet look!  Which is why I have the mint green tank under!  Wearing my melon colored crops with my crochet Toms.

4.  Loving this leopard!  This is kind of a fallish type outfit.  I wanted to throw the pink crops in for a splash of color, and the leopard in for a "walk on the wild" side! Ha!  Black tank from Target underneath.  My gladiator type sandals from Famous Footwear!  

I know it's almost time to put the pastels away, but is it?  Tell me what you think!!!  

Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Wednesday!

What is it with Tuesdays??

Has it really been a week since I posted about my Terrible Tuesday?  Heck, since I posted at all???  I can really tell.  This blog has been somewhat therapeutic for me, and I can really tell I haven't been getting my "release"! Ha!  Well, even though you didn't ask for it, you are getting it!  I'm on like Donkey Kong! Hahaha!!

Typically Tuesdays are for me to let you in on a few of my favorites, so here we go!

1.  Honeycrisp Apples:  YUMMY!  I like the crisp, sweet, juicy flavor; however, the expense is a bit on the ridiculous side!  Oh well, every once in a while, it's a great treat!

 

2.  The St. Louis Cardinals, who else???  Right now, as we are in game 4 of the NLDS, I have to say the Cards are my favorite baseball team.  Who am I kidding?  The Cards are ALWAYS my favorite baseball team!!!  Go Cards!!!

There you have it!  Top Two on Tuesday!  Hope your day is terrific!!!!  Happy Reading, and thanks for stopping by!!

Funny post for a Terrible Tuesday (afternoon)!

Couldn't resist this!  My Tuesday afternoon was an epic fail!  Been trying to find funny things, and this one "cracked" me up! Bahahaha!!!

Happy Tuesday!!!  Thanks for stopping by!

Favorite Things Party!

Hey all!!  Been crazy, stupid busy, and this blog happens to fall low on my priority list. (insert sad face here)  Now, things seem to have settled down, so here I go again!!! (Yes, you can sing that to Whitesnake! Ha!)


Linking up with Erika, and her buddies for a Favorite Things post!

Right now, since I'm on this "obviously overweight" kick (inside story), I'm really loving this Jolly Time microwave Kettle Corn!  Each bag is 3 WW points, and the hubs and I share! I think we have the mini bags, so one bag is 3 points.

As far as everyday usage, I would have to say my favorite item would be my long tanks from Target!  I wear these under my dri fit staff shirts (I just have a thing about that material against my skin).  I tried going without, and managed it for one day, but ......... (Click on the pic and it will take you to the link)  (I have one in almost every color)

Hope you guys enjoyed these few favorites of mine!  Happy Monday!  Thanks for stopping by!

Tuesday's Toppers! Cowboys Game!

This past Sunday has been one of my absolute favorite ordinary days this year!  I got to spend the day with my favorite girl, and my favorite team!

Picked up the girl from Jeffco - well, I parked my car and got in with her! 

Got to our seats, and Aimie decided I really suck at taking selfies, so she took over after this one!  I don't know why, but I always look cross - eyed! Blah!

Much better, but I still look cross - eyed! Ha!  Notice behind us, we have Rams fans all around! We are REBELS!!!

Our view of the field.  There were lots of Cowboys' Fans in front of us!!

This was the only thing the hubs asked me to do - take a pic of the cheerleaders! HA!

I took a picture of the Nachos Aimie and I shared too!  He was a little jealous! 

Getting ready to throw the long pass!!!

 

Getting set up for a play, I think?!

Aimie took another selfie!  She was getting tired of them at this point! Y'think?

This one was taken by an usher. 

I got one more, since it was a WINNER!!!!  I knew my 'Boys could do it, just not sure why it looked so ugly! Haha!

Win or lose, my day was AWESOME!  It's amazing that this girl has grown into such a beautiful, young lady - who occasionally hangs out with her Momma for a day!!! (Didn't hurt that she's a Cowboys' Fan too!)

Love you Nae!

Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Reading!

What I Wore Wednesday!

It's Wednesday!!!  Wowsers!  I cannot believe this week has gone by as fast as it has!  Nothing too special this week; I, at least, think I can remember where I got each piece, as well as what day I wore them! Ha!

9/11:  Red, White, and Blue Day in honor of those who sacrificed their lives.  Wearing my red pants from Christopher & Banks, a white, long torso tank from Target, a blue chambray shirt from Nordstrom, and my blue flats from Dress Barn.

9/12:  Professional Development Day!  Black polo with Advance Staff in silver and a little bling to add some sparkle to my day, my Miss Me jeans from the Buckle (surprisingly, I could breathe all day!), and my Nike tennis shoes from Famous Footwear at the Landing in Branson.

9/15:  Picture day at AES!  Wearing my blue GAP pants, with a peachy cami from Charlotte Russe, and a tan/dark tan 3/4 length sleeve sweater from Charlotte Russe.  Peach teardrop statement necklace from Charlotte Russe, and my navy flats from Dress Barn.  (Aimie and Ashley helped me pick out the top to wear).

9/16:  Sorry for the blurry picture!  I was running way late!  Black and white striped cardigan from ??? (thought I knew them all), black, long torso tank from Target, black dress pants from Christopher & Banks with silver American Eagle flats.

9/17  Navy and white striped shirt from the Loft, with a black tank from Dress Barn underneath (I thought the shirt was too thin), Brown (yes, I said Brown) dress pants from Christopher & Banks.  Although you can't tell, my flats are my leopard print flats!  Leopard does go with everything! Ha!

Thanks for sharing in my world!  I enjoy doing these blogs, if for nothing else, just so my family that reads them (probably the only ones who do) can see what I wear to school every day!!

Happy Wednesday!

Tuesday's Top Two!

Top Two Favorites for the week!

1.  My job!  I have wanted to teach for as long as I can remember.  It took me a while to get here (I raised my babies - well, until Michael started school - Aimie was very independent!)  I love what I do!  Yes, there are some days that I think, "What the Heck?", but I really wouldn't trade it for the world.  Now, ask me that tomorrow????? Ha!

2.  Getting phone calls from my kids!  Sounds kinda silly, I know, but it makes me all mushy!  Now, when I say phone call, for Aimie that is a rare treat! Ha!  But I do tend to get a text from her quite often.  No, she doesn't only ask me for something!  I believe Gary and I have done an outstanding job raising our two children.  Are they perfect?  Heck no, but that's part of their charm!  Then you add in the sweet, beautiful DIL, and my world is pretty good! 

This is soooooo me!!! Haha!!  All 3 of my kiddos would agree!

Happy Tuesday, ya'll!  Hope your day is blessed, and filled with love!  Be looking for me to show you my week's outfits tomorrow!  Thanks for stopping by!

Monday's Musings

What a weekend!  Non-stop, go, go, go!  Craziness, but when school starts, that seems to be my life! Ha!

 

Friday I had a PD day (which was awesome)!  After that I came home, packed a bag, and when Gary got home, we left for St. Louis.  We spent the night, and got up Saturday morning (yes, on a Saturday) at 6:00am to be at Krispy Kreme to pick up 219 dozen donuts for my Jr. Beta Club!  Whew!  This was an "off" year, as we usually sell close to, or over 300 dozen.  Usually takes 2 vehicles, and I am on such a sugar high from smelling them, I don't come down for two weeks! Ha!

 

Saturday evening, one of my "other sons" got married, so we went to help celebrate.  Michael and his "twin friends" have been buddies since 1st grade.  Pretty much inseparable, and now Dylan has Jory (cute, adorable little boy) and Derrick got married to Katie.  Kinda gives me that sad, I'm getting old, kind of feeling.  Jory calls Michael "Uncle Michael" and loves him to pieces (the feeling is quite mutual).  It was kind of neat to see Michael carrying Jory around.  One of these days, but for now, I'm ok being just mom. 

Ok, so this really is just a cute saying that will be put up in my house! Ha!

Aimie came home on her crutches (yes, it's as scary as it sounds).  Ashley (my DIL) and I met Aimie in Cape to stock her up on "necessities".  We went to Sam's Club at one point, and Aimie decided to ride the scooter.  I told her I didn't know which was worse, my 85 year old mother on one of those, or her!  At one point, she needed to "back up".  Before she started, she said, "Does this thing", and as she said "beep", it stared beeping when she went into reverse.  She quickly put it in forward, and said, "I am NOT backing up since this thing beeps!"  Ashley and I were laughing so hard!  I had such a fun time with those two girls! 

Enjoy the clip!  Aimie is going to probably want to wring my neck! Love ya kiddo!

There it is!  I could go on, and on, but I'm tired, and I'm going to bed! Ha!  Good night!

Thanks for stopping by!

Friday Favorites!

Happy, happy Friday!  Linking up with Erika, Narci, and Andrea to share a few of my favorite happenings this week!

1.  Baby cows!  I drive by my neighbors' cow pastures every day, and see all the baby cows that have been born!  So sweet, and such a reminder of God's blessings!

2.  Today's Professional Development Day!  I had such a great day!  Our consortium had John Antonetti come in and give his presentation.  He put me in a much better frame of mind, gave me lots of information (all you teachers out there know how overwhelming these one day things are - and it was, but sooooo good!), and I think, now, I can go in with some fresh ideas when I teach my writing lesson on Monday!

There you go!  Sorry I missed yesterday (can we say crazy, horrible, no good, very bad day?)!  See you on Monday!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

What I Wore this Week!

It's Wednesday!!  Linking up with the Pleated Poppy!  I am, by far, NOT a fashionista, but I do have some fun looking at Blogs and Pinterest to see what might look good on me.  I have taken a few cues from blogs and from the daughter too!

My white bermudas from the Loft, striped, navy shirt with my navy ballet flats from Dress Barn.  I wore my new favorite long necklace too! 

Jeans day Friday!!!  My favorite Buckle capris, black AES hornet polo shirt, with my khaki Toms.

My favorite khakis (Old Navy), with my Lime Green Team Hornets polo (in honor of my friend and former co-teacher Amanda - I miss her!), and my Nike tennis shoes!  Recess duty week!

Still recess duty week, but it will be hot today. Black skort, with white AES polo and my favorite Buckle sandals (even though they were a pain, and I had to take them off to get the grass out of them.)

Today!  Wanted to wear my pink crops one more time!  These were from JCPenney, the lace tank from Nordstrom, have on a mint green tank from Target, and my sandals from Famous Footwear!

There ya go, folks!  Hope you enjoyed!  If you need advice, just let me know, and I'll ask my daughter! Ha!
