How I Lived through painting my Plywood Floors....

How to go from this....

 

 To this without going crazy...

And I'm Done!

However.....

          Really think I need a rug in the hall to make the whole idea more cohesive.

       What do you think?  

             I really need to get out of this house!

Part3

Decided to do the whole thing over.  Better to do now than kill, I mean deal with it later.  Used the wrong polyurethane anyway.  Comes right up with painters tape.  Would have been good to know before my husband tried to scrape it off.  

Too late to give up now.  I see a huge reward in my future.  You see, hubby at work. I get to deal with this pleasure all by myself.  Yeah me! 

I know I can part two!

       A few hours later I had this....

      

      

      

     Not bad for my first floor painting.      

                  I'm kinda proud.  

     Here's my problem...

      

          Notice the color difference?       

        That's not a shadow on the left.  

       Be sure to read ALL directions very 

                         carefully.  

        This poly will change the    

        appearance of paint color.  

          Now we have to decide do we continue, cover the remainder of the living room and change the color or even ruin my beautiful rug?  Or do we redo the side that is already done?  

           Why it takes us a two weeks to 

         do what everyone else on Pinterest 

             can do in a couple of days,     

                     I have No Idea!

Looking From Third to Fourth: Next School Year I Am Definitely Going To......

Looking From Third to Fourth: Next School Year I Am Definitely Going To......

I think I can, I think I can, I know I can!

School's out.  So now the projects begin.  First up are the floors in my living room and hall.  We already pulled up those nasty fake wood floors.  Loved them at my last house and their great to have if you have kids.  Not great when you have a dog that "marks his territory" everywhere.  (For the record I wanted to get him fixed but my husband rambled something about guy code and he could do that to him?   CJ is a tiny dog that stays inside or in a fenced yard.  He's not producing any more CJ's.  he's never out of our sight.  Don't judge.)

So we get this.

And this ...

Living in the present?

      Formal observations, and state testing are over and I survived.  Your told to teach a certain way, expected to do certain things in your observations for 16 years, and they flip the switch on you.

My "easy" chair make over.

I found this chair at an antique store in Denham Springs, LA.

While recovering our office chair I made the wicker section a lot weaker.

So, after a trip to the Goodwill store, my "dented" chair turned into this:

How did I do it?
Easy.

Secret Love

I was looking through some old files and found a poem my daughter wrote when she was 13.  Her teacher had submitted the poem for her and it was going to be published.  I went on line did some checking, and here it is------

I'm so proud.  Even if she's gonna kill me for sharing this with everyone.

Meet my little papaya

To arrive early September. My first grandson and first grandchild.

Mama Bears out of hibernation

    I think everyone knows this about me, but in case you haven't had the privilege of seeing mama in action, let me share.

    Many times I would find out about what I thought were injustices to my children from other-parents or their friends. Mostly, because I'm a teacher and they knew I would back the teacher (truly this rarely happened, the kids getting into trouble, not the backing the teacher part. That happened about 97% of the time. Oh, but that other 3%, well that was different).
The second reason was because the kids wanted to avoid the appearance of "MAMA BEAR".

It's okay you can call me stupid!

Sometimes we just don’t think.

    As those of you that live in our great state of Louisiana may or may not know, it’s getting extremely close to the most anticipated time of the school year. 

"Don't let it slip on by!"

    In just under thirty days my baby, the youngest of three, will be 19 years old. It is true what they say, you blink and next thing you know the kids are grown adults.

3 Positives

Today's Three Positives:
1)  I survived the day, and did what I planned.
2)  I made a break through with a student that I thought would NEVER happen.
3)  All my girls that tried out for high school cheer, made it.  I am so proud of them. 
  

Three positives

Some days it's really hard to find three positives for the day.
Those are the days that you really have to dig deep.  I mean really
deep to pull out the positive.

Yes, I wanted a Little Brother, but I did not want him to live here!

Tomorrow my little brother, a big wig officer in the USAF, turns 34? 35? Whatever my age is now, minus 10 years. I thought I would dedicate today's blog to him.

For years, and years, what seemed like an eternity for a little girl, I wanted a baby brother. Personally now, I think someone placed that idea in my head when I was very small, and I just assumed it was originally my idea.
