Wanderings...

I felt this weekend that I was wandering thru it...the motions...not as present as I would have liked to me.  You know that "head in the fog" feeling.  I MUST write my monthly goals down and I know I will be focused!

Friday night we had First Friday Friends at our Church (for K - 3rd graders). The kids had fun!  I cooked the meal for everyone this week (baked ziti, rolls and fruit) and we had a speaker come in and speak to the kids about Black Bears (something we know all too much about in our area).  




Saturday my hubby took the kids to a (pre) Chinese New Year celebration in N.J. at family's house. I had the day "to myself"...hahaha  what does that mean?  I took all the remaining trees down from Christmas, decor etc., cleaned, shopped for some household items and school things and had 1 hour to just SIT and read a magazine before they came home.  Found some AWESOME deals at Hobby Lobby with 80% off their Christmas items, to me that means finding things I can use throughout the year...reds for Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year...golds and silvers...blacks...so many things to use for other occasions!  

Sunday back to church again and then Molly had a birthday party to attend at her ballet studio. 





I prepared my lesson plans and caught up on my desk work that was piling up!  WOW I am tired just typing it all...LOL

Looking forward the school week where we will continue with Brazil and the Amazon Rain Forest...snowflake teachings..MLK Day....fractions and Winter. 

Praying everyone had a blessed weekend!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
