Happenings!

Newest Creation:

I made this little gift package for McKenna's (Kaci's daughter) 6th birthday! I love it...Can't wait to make more. In fact, I am going to make one for my room mom's end-of-the-year gift (minus the bathing suit cover-up).

Bruised Knees, Bruised Ego:

Setting: Field Day

Time: 10:15

"Mrs. Moncrief, do you want to race me in the 50 yard dash?," said Hunter.

"Yeah, I am in!," said Mrs. Moncrief

About two minutes later, I was on the ground with parents and kids to witness. I knew I wouldn't win, but I definitely thought, "I was pretty quick in my day, I can at least make it close." NOT! The sad part is, I didn't roll my ankle or trip....I would have been WAY okay with that. What had happened was, I was running WAY faster in my head than my body would actually allow and I literally just ate it for no other reason than that! I mean who was I kidding trying to get up and sprint faster than I ever have in like 10 years....of course I was going to eat it and boy did I. Harder than you have ever seen anyone eat it in your entire life. I wasn't embarrassed at all because I fell, but I was an emotion basket case on the inside because it was a reality check that I am a lot younger in my mind than body.

Of course I had to redeem my self, so I raced like two more times...didn't win, but didn't fall! The kids were very supportive, they didn't laugh until I was up and told they could! They were VERY concerned. In fact, an hour later, one of my students was like, "Mrs. Moncrief, are you sure you are okay? I am really worried about your left knee!" So sweet! The pic is from two days later...it looked a lot worse! And yes, my knees are very swollen...they usually aren't that fat!

One Heckuva Traffic Jam!

Big Girl!

Bye Bye!
