Tuesday is the first day in my classroom that I'm officially working HARD! I got plenty done BUT I also had E with me so I have to admit, I didn't get as much completed as I wanted to. He's to the point that he wants to be down and running around. Alex brought us lunch and Maggie stopped by in the afternoon to help with E as well.
Tuesday evening, my friend Cindy came over and her daughter Myra watched Everett while we could go out for dinner together. It was so nice! I haven't been out for dinner with a friend in awhile so I didn't stress at all. We went to Outback Steakhouse. Yummy. It was delicious. I had 2 Sangrias along with steak and mashed potatoes with a ceasar salad.

Monday - July something
Monday I could NOT keep track of my days and what specific day it was. Monday was my last unofficial day of summer. It was also considered the last day before we were allowed into our classrooms after a week of waxing. YAY!
With that being said, I tried to spend the day relaxing and taking care of business at home. I ended up just relaxing....
I have to admit, I'm very excited for this school year. There's a new classroom to be created, new students, a new pod that I'm joining, even many new teachers and a new assistant principal! Lots of changes going on at West Lane Elementary, but for the better! We are all getting hyped up for the new year and looking forward to the year.

Sunday - July 28th There's No Place Like Home
Today was wonderful, Alex and I woke up and got all three of us ready to head to church. We visited St. Paul today to listen to the new pastor, Pastor Shaw. He preached beautifully on prayer and how intimate it is.
After, we took Susan, Steve, and Nana Betty over to China Palace in Cape. They had never been before and they enjoyed themselves. Of course Everett enjoyed eating the broccoli. :) Heading home, I laid out on the back porch for a bit to get some sun. I was out there for about an hour and it was so relaxing. I am trying to get as much FREE sun as I can before Maggie's wedding. I have a tan line from the beginning of the summer on my back. Her bridesmaid dresses are strapless.
This afternoon, I have one more question to finish up on my final and then I will be tidying up around the house. Everett and I may take a walk this evening. We've been enjoying the gorgeous weather we've been having. It's been perfect to be outside during July in Missouri.

Saturday- July 27th Errands
Running errands seem to be the way to spend the end of my summer. I'm also finishing my final for my supervision class. Alex and I spent most of the morning working on Genesis Pure appointments. Other than that, we tried to relax before he went to work.
In the afternoon, Everett and I set off to a wedding shower for Amanda Dewrock whom I grew up with and have known since I was very young. It was great to see her and a few others that I don't normally get to catch up with.
After, Everett and I stopped by Target and then we met Gran and Pop (Susan and Steve) at Beef O Brady's to visit with Alex and to have supper. E was getting so tired and grouchy. He actually slept in this morning until 8:30! It was fantastic!
I just finished the Downton Abbey Season 3 last night and am so looking forward to Season 4 next month!

July 26th - Procrastination at its Best
Today was my goal to work on my final for my supervision class that I was enrolled in this summer. Still hasn't happened. Hah! Instead I've been working around the house as well as helping Alex make appointments for Genesis Pure. I was even planning on running errands until it began to show nasty weather outside. I will just go in the morning while Alex is home. I need to start going to bed earlier anyways with school being just around the corner.
This morning I walked into Everett's room and it was so adorable. I'll let the pictures tell all.

July 25th - Homecomers
Everett and I hung around the house in the morning yesterday and in the afternoon we made a trip over to our neighbor's pool for a swim with Karen Lee and Gran-mama. Miss Emma and Miss Christine was there as well! We had a good time and the shallow end of the pool is a short ledge. Everett was able to touch and walk around in his floaty. It was perfect.
When we got home, we got ready to head out to the Skelton farm. Everett stayed at Grand-mama Susan's house while I ran a few errands and went up to Homecomers to eat a corndog! Yummy!
Before I headed up to Homecomers, I stopped by Maggie's house and checked out her jewelry party. After all of the fun, we went up to Homecomers for some fair food. Needless to say, I didn't have the best experience, BUT! I got a FREE corn dog out of it! Haha.
After Homecomers, we stopped by Walmart and then checked out Maggie and Geoff's new place off Hwy 61. What a perfect place to start a marriage!

July 24th - College and Apple Care
Today was a day....
To start off, I went to my last class of this summer semester. Starting my grad courses was not as hard as I expected. It flew by! After class, a few of us decided to celebrate with lunch today. After, we went to have a detox done of our feet. Uhhhhhh........yea.
That went well. My phone fell into the water. It was sick/nasty/disgusting/revolting/etc. I was mortified!!!
I immediately called Apple Care and thank goodness I signed up for Apply Care Plus when I bought my phone. I only have to spend $49 to have my phone replaced. Whoohoo!
It's coming within the next couple of days so I will be without a phone BUT! I'm going to enjoy the quiet moments. I may actually get something done around the house that I've been waiting to do!
Tonight my mom came over for dinner. I tried a new recipe. Baked Spaghetti. It's not a brand new recipe but I mixed things up a bit. I added cream cheese and green peppers as well as red onions. It was delicious! Everett even ate the green peppers in it. He's been spitting them out when prepared fresh. These were baked.
As I'm sitting here in a quiet house tonight, Alex will be home soon from his experience at the Beirgarten. Our friend just opened up a new bar downtown Cape and he's going to check it out.
