yep it is!!!

 I am still in my pjs and Bub is too

we are being super lazy

Hub is at work BOO

and bub and I miss him

we have only had junk to eat

not because I wanted Bub to eat junk but with my one hand perdicament 

well what I could open or make is what we ate...

there is  a very large ham blocking most of his lunch food items

and the other things he wants require two hands...peanut butter lid too tight

tried to peel a banana...banana moosh mush...no thank you... i could have bub peel the banana but thought of that too late...and only had one banana

the important thing is we ate...right? 

plus we have Christmas Eve dinner tonight

at my MIL's house

so who cares if we had morning/afternoon of junk

typing this is a slight chore too

see i will type my next few lines without correcting

here we go this is going to ee super sterangeif i type this with no mistakes

and hten i teel have to ezzPLIAN WHY IT IS NOT ALL WEIRSD WHICH IT IS WEIRD

AS YOU CAN SEE AND NOW I EUUU STOP

big soft cast and fingers not touching the keys right... ahhhhhh

ok my whole reason for posting today was to tell you....

and I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you guys!!!!

i love my bloggy world and followers so....

I am throwing a sale at my TpT store... i would do 50% but they only let me do 20% so 20% it is and it only lets me do it for 4 days... so it starts today and runs for 4 days

and since i wanted to do 50% off of something I did this...
I am running a 50% off sale for advertising on my blog for the 

SMALL and MEDIUM ad space... 

you could advertise your blog or your store on my blog... 

go to the advertise page 

look up by the orange mustache

or
use promo code: farleyfarleyfarleymedium for the medium ad space and it can be used once

ok so I think that about covers it...

i am going to the one finger typing mode now...

one more thing...

there is a central texas blogger meet-up

the 27th of december at chuy's in san antonio/universal city/live oak/selma

not really sure what city it is technically in but those should cover it...

i am thinking selma and it is

across from the forum shopping center

off of 35

i think it is at 6 i'll be there at 6...hopefully earlier

i get my cast off that day at 4 so

if you do come you might not want to sit on my left side

i have a huge fear of my arm smelling like feet after this cast comes off

ok that covers it!!!

happy everything

hope your christmas is  filled with joyous memories

and remember to get in those pics!!! don't just take them

who cares if you have a double chin

or dark circles

One handed, one finger, & joys

 so I am still in a soft cast
and working with one arm/hand has been wellllllllllllllllllllll
interesting...
i am typing this with one finger... go me
well i wanted to share some pics with you about the past week...
a lot has happened in ONE week!!!!

before I share
let me thank you for joining me in a moment of silence for Sand Hook
it was overwhelming
continued prayers

 that bump was cray cray
it ended up being something else but
my mom wasn't listening b/c she heard the dr. say the incision was different
and then she kinda lost track...
we have all done that so no matter
go back on the 27th for cast removal

 my neighborhood school had Yellow Santa
we took Bub down to donate some cans of beans and jars of peanut butter
mi mi the lovey had to join us

 so i am pretty sure my hubby ranks in the top 10 of bestest hubs eva
he has been my extra personal assistant
hair, dressing,delivering,and much more
love him

 best party idea eva goes to covington
at covington's corner look her up with one hand linking is impossible
this was so much fun
we had to bring a food from pinterest, a gift from pinterest, and we made a craft off of pinterest
we ALL loved it so much we are doing it again for valentine's day

 went out of town quickly to visit hub's dad and stepmom
for Christmas
had a great time... i fell in love with her tree
it is flocked in GLITTER
GLITTER
they hate it
I LOVE IT
crossing my fingers I get it!!!!
GLITTER PEOPLE
FLOCKED WITH GLITTER!!!!!

 THIS WAS the best BEST BEST partay EVA
Kenoyer from Krazy Town...look it up
gave me the idea
the kids loved it... we did NO FOOD
except what i brought them...
icey hot chocolate and whoopie pies
at first they were like....ahhhhhhhhhh SAD FACE
at the idea of no junk food party
BUT at the party they were like YAY
this was the best
 you are the best
WHOO HOO
they all got lots and lots of things because a lot of kids brought in 2 or 3 things
i had extra bags of candy for those that didn't bring anything
it was a hit...
i know each kiddo got at least 5 pencils
YAY

yesterday I got to help with this (look up)
so much fun!!!!

******squirrel********

here is the craft we made at the Pinterest Party
we made cookie sheet message boards...
I turned mine into a blurt board
EACH domino represents minutes they can earn for extra recess (one for the ones, 2 for the twos NOT 4)
every time someone blurts
they will go move a domino down to the bottom
they had one blurt  when i took this pic...
it was double zero kinda a warning no minutes lost
AND yes i realize this adds up to a possible 21 EXTRA minutes for Friday recess BUT
i have a few... a lot of chronic blurters so chances are slim
far from none
and i will win a bazillion dollars first
if they ever get all 21 minutes
PLUS it lasts ALL week so I am thinking...
well you know!!!

well that wraps it up

toodles
Happy Everything

Silence for Sandy Hook Elementary

Silence for Sandy Hook Elementary

This is Farley's mom...
She (Farley) is dictating this post to me via cell phone because of her hand surgery this morning.

What a tragedy...
All teachers around the world are saddened by today's events.
Our hearts are heavy and broken for all of those affected.
I feel helpless...
As a teacher blogger,
I feel that all of us should unite.

Please join me in a day of silence for teacher bloggers on
Sunday, December 16, 2012,
by only posting the picture below on your blog
and titling your post as "Silence for Sandy Hook Elementary" .

Let's show our fellow teachers and the families at Sandy Hook Elementary
our love and support from across the nation and the world during this most difficult time.

"Do your little bit of good where you are;
it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world."
                                                                                              - Desmond Tutu

thanks so much to all of you that entered!!!

what was that... ...... SQUIRREL>>>>>>>>

I have a SUB for tomorrow...
not for a mental holiday
not for a get my Christmas shopping done day
not for anything fun day
it is for Gertrude
Gertrude is my ganglion cyst
just the word is YUCKY YUCK YUCK
and so we now refer to her as Gertrude... much cuter
RIGHT?
well she is getting evicted
she has been with me for most of my life...
at least as long as I remember!!!
she has been acting up and is no longer wrapped in a nice cushion of FAT
so she is not only causing pain but some tingling falling asleep
my fingers won't wake up PROBLEMS...
soOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
out she comes...
not to mention because I have had her for so long....
she grew fingers... tentacles... branches....
whatever you call them they are now intertwined
and mingling with my wrist bones... FUN!!! *sarcasm*
so that party needs to be broken up!!!
and then we need to mention that Gertrude is bossy...
she has caused a major artery to
UM well how do I put this...
well she has shoved it over and it is not flowing like it should
and do I need to mention the nerve she is now resting on because there is no longer a layer of fat between them...
pressing on a nerve is NOT NICE
at all!!!
Gertrude is a pest now...
I don't like to be pestered...
she is a pain in my wrist!!!

 so she is now an unwelcomed guest and at 7 in the morning will be REMOVED for good
so long Gertrude....SO LONG!!!!

So with my minor wrist surgery and Gertrude removal comes a need for a sub...
don't you hate getting ready for a sub... I loathe it...
absolutely hate getting a sub!!!
but I can't give the  kids a day off
so a sub it is....

I wanted to share something I do before I leave for the day
knowing I have a sub coming the next day...

I leave them notes on their desks.... not all of them but some of them!!!

I make sure they know to show their mamas thank you cards....

I have a personal assistant... don't be jealous... well I wanted to remind this week's assistant to be extra helpful!!!

and even if they don't get a personal note...they do get some love!!!

the kids LOVE this
I try to change it up
it is important to leave these notes on the desks of the kiddos that need a friendly reminder
BUT it is equally important to leave them on the kids that don't need reminders too!!!
AND I know some of you are like
OH MY she wrote on their desks
yeppers
it will wipe right off ...
dry erase markers and a baby wipe :)

alrighty that about does it!!!
wish me luck I am a little nervous about this procedure!!!
but I know I am in good hands with my bad hand...
