I was going to upload all my thanksgiving pictures but apparently I'm out of space on the blog. :(
Thus, either I will never post pictures again or I'll start all over with the blog. Sad!
On the other hand, things I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving:
Jesus, grace and mercy renewed every day, a good (and happy) year of marriage, family, Nora, new friends and old friends, health, a roof over our head, and chocolate :)
Love y'all!

Thanksgiving Menu
On the menu for the first EVER (annual) Lancaster Thanksgiving....
Turkey and Gravy
Ham
Stuffing
Mac and Cheese
Greenbean Casserole
Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes
Homemade Crescent Rolls
Maybe a dessert thrown in there?
Some how my dear sweet husband thinks that he will go hunting all day Tuesday and Wednesday morning and then come back after his adventures to brine and cook the turkey in order for our lovely guests to arrive around 5:30-6pm (on Wednesday)...
Hmmm...
ONE MORE DAY OF SCHOOL! I can do this.
You know what my kids told me today?
Student: Mrs. L, you have no patience at all.
Me: Really? Are you still alive? Well...that seems like patience to me if I've been putting up with y'all for 60ish days and I aint killed anyone yet.

Today's Conversations
"M'am, I am afraid that your child decided that it was a good idea to glue rulers to my desks. He'll be coming in during his lunch to clean all of my desks."
"I want a baby too but I ain't ready! I'm 25 years old and I've been married for 2 years. You're ** years old with a boyfriend of 1 week. What makes you so ready?"
"M'am, I'm calling to tell you that your child won't quit farting in class. He/she kept purposely interrupting a presentation today done by their classmates."
That wasn't even half of it folks.
Glory.

Neighbors
Just wanted to give a shout out to all my faithful readers -
Our next door neighbor (the single momma who refused my casserole when she broke her leg) just told us that she lost her job 3 weeks ago and hasn't been able to find anything yet.
She asked us to come watch her little boy (who was puking) while she went to go pick up medicine and dinner. When she came back, she immediately started crying about her job and telling us how desperate she is to find something else and how hard it's been recently.
We just ask that you guys pray for her.
Thanks a bunch. Love you mean it.

Today
*Is the day before Election Day
*I slept for 11 hours
*I had a kid have one of the worst bloody noses yet...blood dripping out of his hand, all over his papers...ek.
*I had a bee fly into my classroom and thus had multiple students screaming every second and standing on top of desks. I finally whacked him with a poster.
*Grey and I decided that we're going to do our own Thanksgiving dinner the Wednesday before. The only problem with this is that we're completely divided on the main meat.
Grey wants turkey.
I want ham.
Solution? Buy all of our groceries at Ingles until Thanksgiving and earn enough turkey points to get a free turkey. Then we will buy a ham. :)
Happy Election day tomorrow. Go vote. People have fought and died for your freedom to vote. So do it.
:)

Apparently
Apparently when you put a plastic bag on a really hot stove eye, it burns.
Apparently playing Justin Bieber's "As long as you love me" song to your sweet husband in hopes of it becoming "y'all's song" will not work. ;)
Apparently cooking pecan breakfast bread, lemon blueberry bread, and cookies in one weekend is too much to consume in just one week's time.
Apparently eating hot dogs and chili right BEFORE you go to the gym is not a good idea.
Apparently there is nothing wrong with desperately wanting to go to bed at 7:00 every night this week. The kids at school are crazy yo. They WHACK.
Apparently chasing a cat around the house popping him on his butt repeatedly scares him so badly that he shakes in your arms for a good 5 minutes. (Sorry Oliver but you made me REALLY mad)
Apparently your hips widening is just a normal part of life even when you've lost weight for that week
Apparently it is perfectly normal to disregard a teacher's plea to "put something away" and then get utterly mad and angry when she takes your precious item
Apparently Chickfila is so good, that this girl can crave it for 2 weeks straight. Don't worry, Beck-o-Baggins is going to get some tomorrow. My end of the week treat :)
Apparently, the term "swag" is "so last year"...Learned that one while being yelled at by all my students today when I told a kid that he had swag. Oops. Get on the ball Beck. Geez.
Apparently, the new word is DOPE. Like, you are so dope! That outfit is so dope! Girrrrllll matching your shirt to your shoes? DOPE!
Apparently Oliver has short term memory loss. He apparently has forgotten the "above incident" and it now trying to crawl into my lap.
That is all. :)
