New Burns



 Here are some frames I burned for my babysitters that had babies within a month of each other.

An "oriental" dragon burn for a friend's wedding present.

VICTORY!

 After numerous  interviews, disappointments, and overwhelming perkiness, I finally landed a full time teaching job.  I am officially a 6th grade teacher!  (Okay, it is not official until Thursday when I sign my life and soul away to the Coolidge District for a full year).   At this point I have been told that the classroom is contained, meaning I teach all subjects and the classrooms never swap around.  I totally prefer this so that I can work with my students exclusively, learn about their specific needs, and memorize only one classroom full of names (I inhale profusely when it comes to names)
 It is everything I have been begging for for over a year and yet suddenly I am soooo  nervous.  It will be fine if I can get through the first two weeks. Rules and relationships will be established and the students will be mine.  I will be strong, the kids will think I am the meanest and yet the coolest teacher ever.  They will come to me with their problems and our standardized testings scores will be victorious!
And yes, I will be this awesome!

Super Mario Bros. Bathroom

 So after having the same bathroom for about 7 years, it was time for a change and make something a little more kid fun. However keep in mind I would have probably done this even if I didn't have kids.  Also you would think I would have known better to take a before picture, but I totally forgot until all the Chinese stuff was out.  Oops.  Anywho, still looking for ideas for the shower curtain.  And wouldn't it be cool to make the toilet flush sound like the sound when Mario goes down a tube?  Wall stickers of doom are compliments of ThinkGeek.com
