"Making time for my full time job"
"Crazy kids have come back to school"
"How dare that kid give me a cold"
"Finley is a menace"
"Finley's Fighters website has had some changes"
"Arlington should wear a helmet"
All of these are true, and because you are SO LUCKY, you are going to hear about them, and more!
Let's start with making time for my full time job. Why not. It is at the top. I have decided that it is getting in the way of my RDH12 Fund for Sight work. How can I work all day and still have time to plan one million fundraisers? Luckily, I have some help, so I guess I will have to stick to my day job.
My mom and dad have been amazing. They are selling shirts and wristbands, and braille shirts like mad. They are collecting and spreading the word. The same goes for my in-laws Ben and Sally, and my brother and sister-in-law AJ and Tricia. They have made our fundraising a personal quest, and we couldn't do it without them! And all the amazing people who are helping out around us - the local Mom's club, my school district, my parents district, my parents community, our community, AJ and Tricia's district, Ben and Sally's community, the list could go on and on and on. We are overwhelmed and yet so excited all at once. I can't wait to share all the fun upcoming things we are going to have - so amazing!
Let's see: "Crazy kids have come back at school". Is there any more I can really say about this? I.work.in.an.elementary. school.
The first day was bliss. Ever since then, we are back to the way we left in June. Actually, it is slightly worse because the new teachers haven't figured out who the "tricksters and fakers" are yet. But apparently the kids think I got amnesia over the summer.
Unfortunately - they would be wrong. No - I have their number. And this is year three at me at this school. My little babies that started Kindergarten when I first went to work there are now 2nd graders. The kids who saw me 100 times plus last year, have just picked up were they left off. So......that's all.
"Finley is a menace". Who doesn't already know this - raise your hand? New to the blog? This is a weekly statement. As much as we love her and as much as we fight for her, she still has an.......interesting personality that no one can really explain. She is cute and funny and silly - but also devious, and tricky.
This weeks trick was because she wanted to wear a dress. 10 minutes before going to bed. We of course said no - it was soon bath time. She was playing in her room and the next thing we know, she is in a dress. Of course she is. She's Finley. I go in to see how she possibly got a dress out of her closet, and she had stood on her sister's desk chair and (here is the best part) got a basket of toys, dumped it and put the empty basket on the chair to make herself higher. So dangerous! What is up with her? Sunday was also her first time being in church with us (they go to Sunday School now) and during the children's talk, she bobbed her head up and down the whole time. Nice.
I have a challenge for all my friends and family and readers out there. We are going to make a lot of money for our new Fund from the braille shirts that I am making. My goal is to make 200 shirts over the course of the next year and that will be over $1000 to the fund! WOW! I have made 16 so far, and have several more in the wings. So go HERE and get yours today!!! Or you can order right on this site as well. Make sure you tell me what color of shirt and what color of rhinestones you want. And I can do boy/guy shirts with fabric paint, so boys can get in on the fun as well!
Thanks for all of the support. We can't do it without you - I can't say that enough!!
And don't forget - Visionwalk - October 2nd - please RSVP to the Evite you got. We want to see you there!
See you Saturday.
