Thankful Thursday
1. Donnie coming home every night this week.
2. Teacher Discounts. Have to use them while I can!
3. One ticket, one taste at the Mustard Festival! None of the wineries charging more than one ticket per taste just because they feel like it. With the extra 5 tickets we got for buying our admission tickets early, we each had 11 tastes!

Happy St.Patrick's Day!!
We had a great St.Patrick's Day!
After school, I took Jackson for a walk to Browns Valley and decided to surprise Donnie with corned beef and potatoes. No cabbage though, yuck! Donnie was doing the same thing and surprised me with a St.Paddy's day cake and beer. He was trying to hide what he was doing, since he bought food coloring for the beer. But check out the packaging and the color order,
Soooo, we had a great meal, complete with, RED BEER! So funny. Donnie actually is red/green coloring blind, but he could see the difference right away when he did it.
We may just have to make red beer on St.Paddy's a tradition!

Pink Friday
Pink Friday was Friday the 13th! Donnie, Janet, Jackson, and I attended at my school's District Office to Rally against the budget cuts and save pink-slipped teachers. Jackson was so excited! I even bought him the closest to pink t-shirt for a boy I could find. At the rally, when I was holding him by the street with people screaming and cars honking, he just loved it. Then he pooped out and spent the rest of the rally recovering...

Thankful Thursday
1. Even though I got my dreaded pink slip this week, I'm thankful I'm at the top of the list and have hope. I'm #4 to be hired back and supposedly they haven't counted in the 5 people who're retiring this year. Definite hope there.
2. I'm thankful for happy hour at the DeBarr's. Daiquiris in the afternoon can never be a bad thing!
3. I'm soooo thankful that it looks like Jackson has gone back to only waking once a night. Hopefully this will last a while, but hopefully I don't get TOO used to it!

...ugh...
It came today....
and it wasn't pink! Why do they call it a pink slip if it isn't pink?
I'm up and down on how to feel. The good news is that I'm apparently the 4th on the list. Which means if jobs open up, I'm the 4th person to get my job back. They have 3 years that they HAVE to use the list if there are any jobs. So, that's hopeful.
On Friday, we'll be attending Pink Friday. So, Jackson will be attending his first rally! If there's one in your town, please help support the teachers who helped you get where you are!

Jackson Rolls!
Jackson has been trying to perfect his rolling skills, and today he finally did it! (Numberous times, not like before, where I think he did it on accident) Now if only I could start the video BEFORE he rolls!
***WARNING*** This video is not for those with weak stomachs, ha!

Daddy & Mini-Me
For those of you that don't know, when I'm at work during the week, Jackson gets spoiled by getting watched by Grammy Janet on Mon, Tue, Wed and Donnie on Wed, Thur, Fri. Donnie totes his little buddy all around town with him. And, I come home to my 2 matching boys!
