Thursday...

I had all the intentions of posting yesterday. Truly I did! But I had  good reason(s) not to. With the fire at the HS, the kiddos' prom stuff got burnt and/or damaged. So they have been fixing stuff up because it's this Saturday. I went to my friend's work where she's donating space for the kiddos to work on prom stuff. And I ended up babysitting supervising the high schoolers to make sure they didn't hurt each other lol. I was to be there until their art teacher came. So I guess you could say I was subbing hahaha :)

The news crew was there and filmed live at 6 and then recapped at 8 and I saw myself on tv pointing. So it looked like I was directing and doing something important. Instead of standing around which I was mostly doing. Except when the kiddos didn't know how to work an overhead projecter and Ms. T had to show the darlings how. They're tracing images on plywood from prom props.

See the camera guy? He was nice. The reporter was gathering his notes.

Yesterday in kinder was MUCH better than Monday. No dead birds. Or cupcakes. Or wrong switching of kids. Oh and that mother I told you about? She knew I was subbing again and kept her kid home...because I'm so mean *sigh* I know it shouldn't bother me at all, but really, me....mean? That just irks me. If she thinks I'm mean, well then I don't know what she'll think of people that are actually mean.

The teacher I subbed for needed me for 1/2 day today and they were good. They practiced for their talent show tomorrow and it's cute! I'll talk more about it tomorrow, with my freebie. Hopefully. Because my internet/computer is acting up again and that's no bueno, especially with my big giveaway starting next week. Stay tuned for Sunday for more info!  I'm super excited about it and tons of great stuff to win! And amazing authors who've donated :)

My Community

If I haven't said it before, I'll say it now, I love my community! There are so many great groups in town that you can belong to or help. With my dad being a cop (now retired) he made so many connections. And thanks to that, I've made many new friends.

Today is just one example. I'm friends with some business owners in town and one lady works at a lumber store. Her family runs the business and I help them teach a class one Saturday a month where we build stuff with kiddos. She called me a week ago asking if I could help at a booth at the Saturday Market.

First off, I love her to death, so I said yes. Second, the Saturday Market is pretty awesome for it being it's second year. It's at a building that is very health concientous. They had a dancing lessing today and a BBQ contest.

I was at a booth from 9-2, sandwiched between a man selling salmon and a lovely woman selling her baked stuff (I bought a scone and it was yummy!) She said business was slow but I thought it was pretty decent. And a lot of people, when stopping to pick up free stuff at my booth, told me they enjoyed shopping at the lumber store because of the service and the staff.  Isn't that nice and refreshing to hear?

Well tonight I'm going to the same friend's house as she is hosting a wine/cheese event that she auctioned off at her nonprofit groups' first auction. I tell you , she is the right person to have as a friend :) I volunteered my time to serve cheese/wine to the local business people that bought tickets. So I get to help my community twice in one day and I love it! I enjoy it! My community has a lot more than just this, but I had to share this little bit :) You'll hear more next month!

Do you have an awesome community?
