busy, busy, busy

So I am pretty sure that I was always told that December is the busiest month of the year, but apparently, like Christmas, things are being bumped up this year. I feel like November is flying by and I can barely catch my breath!

At school as well as at home, things have been completely hectic. At school we finally wrapped up our last fundraiser, and as much as I love Shannondale and appreciate all that our PTO does for us - let me just say that this year we have experienced one fundraiser too many! The parents, teachers and students were all just over it by the time this last one rolled around and my class was really struggling in the sales department! Oh well...we did what we could! But now we are dealing...again...with all of the prizes, assemblies, etc, that go along with wrapping up a fundraiser. I just feel like we are constantly running out of the room to go or do something besides what I NEED to be teaching!!

At home I have been sent into a complete frenzy with Ashley's shower rapidly approaching. It is this Saturday and I feel like though I have been thinking and planning for it for at least two months that I am no closer to being ready than when I started! I really need to go right now, before bed, and finish making out my Thursday, Friday and Saturday lists. Luckily I have WONDERFUL people helping me with everything that needs to be done and I don't even know what I would do without them. At this very moment my fabulous best friend is working on a custom table runner made of too cute pink paisley fabric. I know Lisa S. and Lisa W. are frantically trying to figure out how they will juggle all of the snacks we decided to fix! I am desperately trying to figure out how I will have time to get together my very few food items while at the same time cleaning up continuously after my one year old. Something has got to give!! :)

Think happy, productive thoughts for me in the next few days! Love to all!!!
