Too much to do

No disasters today... student taught... went to nanny... just got home.  I am tired and hungry.  About to do two quick posts for school and then crash!

Here is a pic I took while sitting at a soccer practice this evening:

Good night and God bless!

Good Friends

No major disaster this morning- PTL!

School went well.  Ran some errands... lost my debit card... smh...

Came home... heard I need new tires and brake work... roar

Worked on an online workshop i have to do for school which makes me think only morons go to my school... really I think i expect more of the second graders I work with!

BUT

Then I got to skype with my friend Kara for over 2 hours, which totally made up for all the "poo" this week.  She's amazing and I am blessed to call her my friend!  We talked about all kinds of stuff and laughed a lot.  I needed that conversation.  Now to bed :-)

Good night and God bless!

Really?!?!?

So, yesterday on day one of student teaching I was puking... day 2 I go to leave the house and MY CAR WOULDNT START...

FOR REAL?!?!?!

Anywhose, God loves me and He put great people around me who took great care of me... so, everything still went pretty well. 

And now, time to wrap up the day.

Good night and God bless!

First Day of OFFICIAL Student Teaching

So this morning I got up at 4:55am

did devotional

went running, did push ups, situps, crunches, lunges, jumping jacks, jump rope, overhead weights, etc.

took a shower and started getting ready

BUT in the shower started getting nauseas... then started throwing up.... what a way to start the day...

I was still on time and the day went well despite its ill beginnings

And now I am trying to make it to my 8pm bedtime goal. 

Goodnight and God bless

Sunday Sunday Sunday

Today I taught in the K3 class.  We had 15 kids, which is quite a few kiddos for our class.  It was fun, kinda scrambled, but good.  I love kids.  (In case you guys didn't know ;-)

Anywhos- after that I ran an errand... came to the house... ate a bit of PEACH COBBLER!!!  (My favorite dessert!)

Then I headed out to Yorba Linda to meet a friend for lunch at Olive Garden.  It was good- good food and even better friendship!

Then... came to the house... been trying to clean, organize, and prep for student teaching.  I start TOMORROW!!!

SO--- I am now about to watch a video from a missionary from Brazil who is here at the house, then I am off to bed. 

So good night and God bless!!! 

Hey hey hey!
Today was our church picnic.  It was fun, but WAY TOO HOT!!!

I mostly chilled and played dominoes which was fun!

Then went by the post office, walmart, and to get gas.

Came home, chatted with Pastor, then got cleaned up, got a few odd and end things done, now I am in bed, bout to crash.

Good night and God bless!!!

It's FRIDAY!!!

I went to the school this morning and hung in Elaine's second grade class again.  I left there at about 11:30am, came home, made lunch...

then I went back out into the ridiculous heat to wait to pick up Zac.  I took him home to his dad, then went and got his sisters. 

After leaving their house and returning home, I was pretty soaked with sweat- I know you all really wanted to know that... so i literally walked in the house, took my jeans off, put shorts on, and jumped in the pool with my clothes on.  I was expecting the pool to be cold as it is usually too cold to swim... but it wasn't :-(  I stayed in maybe 5-10 minutes and I was done. 

I tried to get some organization and paperwork done, but wasn't very motivated and there were people at the house.  It's all good though. 

I am now tired and goin to bed!

Gnight and God bless!

Today was the second day of the school year.  I switched things up and went with the 5th/6th combo class for the morning and then joined the 2nd grade class for the afternoon.  Mrs. Reed turned me loose with the 5th and 6th graders for their reading lessons.  It was fun.

It is HOT today!  Alli texted me after school and asked if I could give her a ride home cause it was too hot to walk!  Which is ABSOLUTELY was.

Then I went and picked up my teenage friend Shannon.  We went to Wendy's, then we went to see the movie Hope Springs.  The movie was cute... had some embarrissingly inappropriate scenes though. 

Then we went back to Shannon's house and goofed off with her mom.  While I was in the house, I had left my cell phone in my car.  When I came out, I had missed a call from Elaine, one of my friends who lives in Asia.  I just met her in July, but we were instant friends, and hearing her voice makes me extremely happy!  So I hapily listened to her voicemail, then called her back.  Sure enough, she answered!  It was GREAT getting to talk to her!  She is AMAZING!!!  I LOVE her dearly!!! 

Now for bed.  Gotta go to the school again tomorrow. 

Goodnight and God Bless!

New Beginnings

Long time no see....

I know I know... it's all MY own fault... here's an interesting fact about myself.  Once I get behind on something, I get really intimidated about going back to it... which just causes me to get more behind... and more intimidated... and on and on and on...

I REALLY need to work on this though, cause there are too many things that this negatively affects in my life.  So, for today, here goes with getting back to the blog.

MUCH has happened in the two months since I've blogged!!!  Mainly, a 3 week trip to Asia, which was PHE-NOM-IN-AL!!!  I will try my best to blog some about that this weekend. 

For today, it was the first day of school for our school district... I start student teaching on Monday, so I spent the morning with Mrs. Lopez in a second grade classroom, and the afternoon with Mrs. Reed in her 5th/6th combo class. 

Highlights of the day:

School started at 8:45am.  At 9:35am (YES, less than an hour into the first day of school) we had an earthquake.  Pretty fun and funny and what a way to start the year.

I was wearing a purple striped shirt.  A second grade girl said, "I like your shirt!"  To which I of course replied. "Thank you!"  She then said, "My grandma has one just like it."  Note to self- burn shirt!

Well... I'll leave you with those highlights. 

G'night and God Bless!!!
