Tuesday afternoon...

Well, 7:30 this morning came and went and I figured I wasn't going to get called in to work. WRONG (Don't get me wrong, I love working at the school)! I got the call at 8:00, when I was still sitting here in my chair, actually working on some designs. I hadn't showered or even eaten breakfast yet, since I figured I had all morning to do that. The plan for today was to finish working on the designs I had been puttering around with, get them stitched out, finish up the laundry and clean up the kitchen. I had to get to the school asap since they were really short-handed and knew I wouldn't get home until close to 4:00. It was a busy day at school, which helps make the time go by really fast. The schedule was a bit different than what I was used to, but the students I worked with were all good. I was asked just before leaving if I could come in tomorrow... sure! It's great for the 'ol paycheck and I really enjoy my time there, but I'll have to figure out when to get the designs finished up.

Those designs I mentioned are kinda cute, if the image on the screen is any indication. Some are designs that I have to donate to OPW mall, for their MOC program. It's just 3 designs due at different times of the year, but I'd rather get them done and out of the way all at once.

The other designs are some cute little roosters. They're not realistic-looking, but more of the cutesy, stylized sort of look. My mother in law would like them (she decorates her kitchen/dining area in roosters), so maybe I'll stitch up some towels for her whenever I do get around to doing the actual embroidery. There are only 3 roosters in this artwork so I guess they'll just be a mini set. I keep meaning to put together a newsletter announcing the little Valentine alphabet I've uploaded, but there again I'm running into a lack of time. We'll see if I'm not too tired later on tonight, maybe I'll have the gumption to do it then. I'm not a night owl at all (nor much of an early morning person) and it's hard to think when I'm tired... especially after a long day at school.

It'll be time to go pick up DH in just a few minutes... he's a high school teacher and also coaches middle school students in the afternoon. My DD is away at a bowling match (high school) so it's just DH, me and our youngest DS, who is 13. Instead of just cooking for just the 3 of us, maybe I can talk DH into going out for dinner :)
