January Calendar

I've put this calendar up every year I've been a teacher... 16 different times now. It never stops being funny. Do you see the joke? Kids always guess there is some mistake in the calendar. There's not a mistake. That wouldn't be funny. This is truly laugh out loud funny, especially if you are 10 or 11.

Baby Booties for pregnant people at work.

Work

Here I am at work. I love my job, but I really want to be home today. Why? I've got a project that I'm knitting. In fact, I've got FIVE knitting projects going at home, plus one in my school bag for boring meetings. Well, for any meetings really, but especially the boring ones. Two sweaters, two shawls, one pair of socks and the eternal baby booties project. I knit the baby booties in meetings to give to pregnant teachers. I live in Utah, so there are always pregnant teachers. It's also supposed to snow today. Wouldn't it be great to be home, knitting a sweater, with a loaf of bread in the oven?

I was posting every day on my blog in December, due to the Photo Project. Now, things are getting back into the every day routine and there seems to be nothing to post. Actually, a lot of days in December had nothing to post, but I made stuff up anyway. Ben's been sick, so we haven't worked much on the van. We don't have any trips planned until Spring Break, so that makes us feel like we've got all the time in the world to finish things up. Really, all it needs are drawers in the cabinets and we'll be pretty much done. Of course, there will be little projects along the way... Fix the broken dashboard pieces, new side mirror, bulkhead cabinets, add infinitum... But those are small and don't affect the ability to camp.
