What Wednesday Looks Like at My House--I Spy Version

Since I started teaching, this is what my desk looks like every Wednesday:
I spy, with my little eye . . .
six coloring pencils
2 .5-lead mechanical pencils
2 fine pilot pens (one blue, one black)
6 different sizes of sticky notes
32-oz. of what?  DP, of course
Remnants from lunch and two snacks
4 handouts
3 copies of an outline
2 manuals
and 
one bridal shower invitation

Whew.  I'm glad next Thursday is Thanksgiving. No class for me.
And I'm glad I only teach once a week. I'd never survive it otherwise.

    Being Canadian I have to say I am very relieved to have Thanksgiving over so that I can enjoy preparing for Christmas. Our first real snowfall today and the Christmas lights are up. You can let Tucker know I thought his first blog post was great, but i was too shy to leave a message. I too may have to read surreptitiously : )
    Good luck this week.

    I thought this was really cute. I admit I am completely looking forward to Thanksgiving break also.

    That looks similar to my desk only I believe my papers are piled a little higher than yours. Happy Thanksgiving!

    I too, am grateful next week is Thanksgiving. I've missed reading your blog; thank heaven the life can resume now that the marathon is over.

    (I'll blog on that whole experience as soon as I download pictures. In the interim I want you to know; I prayed for you, specifically by name, at mile 24. Long story, but you helped me during the race. Thanks a gazillion!)


    Hugs,
    Jackie

    At least your desk is untidy for a worthwhile reason, actually not untidy busy. Mine is a mess as I am to preoccupied to tidy think I will quit reading Alphabet Thursday and tidy

    Wow, if that's what a messy desk looks like in your home, mine must be like a landfill :) That is the most organized mess I've seen in a while. I must strive to be as messy as you. Maybe then I'll be able to find things again :)

    Wow, you do have quite a little Eye Spy going on there.
    However, on Thanksgiving you'll have more stuff on the counters, only it will look and taste really good.

    The Transforming Power of Faith and Character! Your desk DOES say it all.

    (btw, I WILL get a pixie cut when this perm grows out. It would not be cute to have curly ends on short hair. ya know?)

    I can only dream to know, but you must be the coolest and most organized institute teacher. With your different sized sticky notes and blue/black pens. I love it!

    Hahaha! My desk looks like that every day! Once a week or so I go through and shovel out, but it's a continuous round of papers and notes I collect all week. I'm glad I'm not the only one with a messy desk. Do you think life will slow down soon for us? Probably not, huh...

    For such a list of items, you desk still looks much more organized than mine.
