Doing The Stuff I Like Because I Can

So my first weekend and 2 days of life not as a current teacher have gone by and I must say have been WONDERFUL!!!!  I have done a ton of stuff I've wanted and needed to do because I want to and I can.  The best part of it was not feeling guilty about the school stuff that wasn't getting done because I was doing something I wanted.  This has included watching a bunch of movies, taking a couple of naps, and actually making dinner including new recipes (pizza casserole and baked chicken).  I have found a new love...Pinterest! Check out my boards!  During this time I have also finished Christmas shopping and almost all the wrapping.  Plus I have cleaned my house.  I had time to actually get crafty with Mikey (my baby brother).  I helped him make two Christmas ornaments.  The first one was a Santa face out of mini Popsicle sticks and the second was snowman hand prints.  I also have spent time with Perry (my puppy) working on his training.  He actually graduated from Puppy Obedience Class tonight!  Yay Perry!  He can sit, stand, lay down, come, stay, and leave it.   Now if he would just pee and poop on the pee pee pad things would be super duper!  That is just a little bit about what is going on in my life and I must say life is wonderful and I feel so happy.  I am BLESSED!!!!
