Y’all, some of your comments cracked me right up!  Thanks so much for playing along 🙂

Soooo, which one is the big fat lie?

A. I just joined the whole text messaging fad after being text-free for five years!

 

TRUE. I know, I know!  Someone with the nickname “Babbling Abby” didn’t have text?!  Soooo true!  It drove our friends and family all kinds of crazy, but we finally caved and upgraded our standard flip phones to Smart Phones about three weeks ago.  And dang! these things are so cool! Becks really likes that Talking Tom Cat app or whatever it is.  Ha!

B. My husband just started an *unplanned* new job this week, and I’m spending the morning interviewing a nanny.

TRUE.  This is a post I’ll probably talk about more on Babbling Abby, but, in brief, a great opportunity came along and B jumped at the chance to accept it.  Prior to this past Friday, he was rockin’ the stay-at-home dad gig while attending school.  So, when school starts in 16 days, we’re going to need childcare and I opted to look for someone who could watch him at our house (it’ll just be twice a week – he goes to preschool/his nana’s house the other days).  Sooooo, the sitter hunt has begun.  And it’s not fun 🙁  Believe me, I wish it were the lie. 

 

C. I’m in a wedding the weekend before school starts and fly home 12 hours before the first day of school starts! Ah!

 

FALSE! Last year was the “year of the weddings” for me, and I married off the last of my besties in October 2010.  And, omiword, I couldn’t imagine *not* being here the day before school starts!  We actually have PDs the two days prior to the first day, so I’m definitely here 🙂 

D. I read Daily 5 and CAFE in less than 36 hours. I couldn’t put them down! It’s official. I’m a teaching NERD!

 

TRUE.  Teacher Nerd and Fast Reader: guilty as charged!  I *loved* these books and found them to be quick reads.  I read CAFE first, and felt like I really needed to read Daily 5 to get a full understanding of the whole system.  And, for those who’ve asked, I haven’t quite determined how or if I’m going to incorporate our reading series (Treasures) into them.  I feel like I need to make a script so I don’t miss anything!  I’ll keep y’all posted on how it all goes down 🙂

And the winners are…

 

Ms. Simoneaux, Leann, & Deb! 

 

Congrats, ladies, and thanks to everyone for playing along 🙂
