Students aren't the only ones who like after school snacks.  

Teachers treat themselves to some snacks, too :)

Joe and I had fun reminiscing over some songs from the past from the likes of Keith Green and Andrae Crouch.  Music is good for the soul!

Happy Leap Day and 92nd birthday to my Grandma Socorro!

Busy day, but all the work is well worth it...

I'm thankful for my wonderful friend/sister/neighbor for dropping off a latte and some of the dvd's in her collection to help me feel better.  Gracias, Ana Veronica!

I've definitely seen my share of doctor's offices lately.  I had my physical a few weeks ago, and today I went to go get some blood work done and then visited urgent care.  I can't wait to feel strong and healthy again!

My little ones have been great company while I've been sick.  

They definitely know how to take it easy and are always down for a long nap (:

It figures that I would be able to fight off germs for the past several weeks and that my body would finally stop fighting just in time for a four-day weekend.  Oh well, at least I have plenty of time to rest.  That and I still have time planned to spend with girlfriends, Joe and family... Not feeling the greatest, but I still feel loved...

February 18

I've been drinking lots of tea + lemon + honey lately...

I hope my friends like s'mores as much as I do!

Joe spoiled me with a bouquet of lovely, colorful roses and a fabulous dinner...

 I'm loving the colors and fit of my new pants.  The best part was that they were on clearance to begin with, then they were marked an additional 60% off, and I was able to use a $20 dollar rewards card.  Score!!!  Loft loves teachers, and this teacher loves Loft!

Saturdays = errands + chores + relaxation
