Justin Bieber Performing Pray at the AMAs (HD)

Pray, video above....

I said it on fb, and I'll say it again..... I. have. Bieber. F.E.V.E.R.! I think he's a little doll, and when I saw him perform this, I thought it was outstanding. What a great meaning too.
Enjoy!

Sum up our week

XLV

I think it's pretty spectacular the Super Bowl is being held about an hour from where I live! I want to stay away from the entire city of Dallas, Ft.Worth, and Arlington, but I still think it's neat!

A guy from my hometown is the 3rd string quarterback for Green Bay. He went to high school with my sisters, helped win a couple of state championships for us in football, and played at my youngest sister's college. His dad is a great guy too, and coached at my old high school. Pretty cool!

4th day

This is the 4th day school has been canceled. I'm not sad about this, but being inside for 4 days can take its toll! :) I did leave for an hour or two yesterday to get my hair done, but that's it. Poor daddy worked in this mess, and was basically up ALL night. Firetruck stuck on ice. NOT GOOD.

So, around here, we've had lots of fires, coffee, popcorn, Nate Berkus, The View, Nick Jr., and hot baths. 
Little sweeties touching feet!

Lastly, have you noticed my blog? I've probably added 10 pictures to it! I love every one of them though. It may be a bit overwhelming, a tad too much, crazy cute, or not blog glam, but I like it. Can you tell I'm going stir crazy? :) I want to jump on this trampoline and scream like a wild woman!

Enjoy your day. I'm about to make a little picnik for Macey and I on the living room floor. ~

OMG. I just spelled PICNIK, like the website. Oops. Picnic.~

Meet the Teacher!

First off, can a high school teacher qualify for a Teacher Linky Party?! :) Elementary teachers are usually always the ones with the cutesy, "elementary" blogs & stuff, but I think high school should be no different! Give a student a sticker on their paper and see what result you get! You can literally hear others, "I didn't get a sticker; I want a sticker"..... Take a class picture of them, post it outside in the hall, and watch them all stand outside your door in the mornings, trying to find their face, and their friends!

About me~ I'm Melissa! I have taught English & Communication Applications, and sponsored Fresh/JV/& Varsity Cheerleading. I'm currently in my 6th year, and teaching part-time at the h.s., educating 9-12 grade students about Comm. App OR Speech. To me, there is no better class. We have SO much fun, while learning how to communicate, argue, love, respect ourselves and others, etc. in a healthy/positive way. To see my class blog, click here!

Why part-time this year? I had this sweet little boy in Sept.

And got to stay home with this sweet little sissy too :)


Lastly, I'm a step mother to these two blondes as well.


My hubby and I have been married for nearly 4 years. He's a firefighter. There's lots of perks to being married to a firefighter :) He's a good cook, makes great fires on cold days, cleans well, quiet time every 3rd day, handy man, penny pincher, and money maker :)
