Different Mood

Okay so I am just getting in from the gym and I am feeling much more uppity....and yes i am drinking a starbucks....that definately might not be the smartest choice since i need to be up at five a.m. but i got a baby one and not the huge mama that i usually get...and i know that it's geek to put pics of myself but i get tired of posts with no pics...sooooooooooooo that explains that....its amazing what a run and a starbucks can do for you....anyways im off to shower, do a little reading...and rest my weary head...he!he!

Have a great Tuesday!

Don't forget the big man!

Not AGAIN!!!

...and i thought that my days of writing lesson plans were over.....DEAD WRONG! Yep guys that's what i'm doing writing lesson plans...now i know why i wasn't missing college one bit. I am here at this computer totally stressed and overwhelmed with these plans and getting everything ready for my students on Friday. I just don't want to screw them up. I just want this year to be the bomb diggity for both, me and them. I am so STRESSED. I am going to the gym to run I have to do something to relieve this feeling. Well, hope you guys are having a good Monday. Keep me in your prayers.

The classroom

Tons of people have been asking about my classroom. After months of hard work, lots of paint, tons of help from friends and family...the classroom is finished. (Well, for now) You know that I will be changing and adding things. Please excuse the boxes in the pics...the trash needed to be taken out. Keep in mind that students' work will be everywhere. Hope you love it. I am so pleased at how it came out. It is fun, bright, and cheery.

10 things I love Wednesday....on um Friday

Okay so I have officially started school...it is extremely hectic. I am feeling very welcome and people have been so helpful and nice. However, I am so new at this and there are like 72 bazillion things that I need to do but I am so tired from the long drives, the 5 o'clock mornings and 12 o'clock bedtimes, and the daily stresses of being a new teacher that I can not even fathom working on all the things that need to be done.

Anyways...I was so busy this week I didn't get a chance to do 10 things I love Wednesday...

Here it is...

In a Funk

Well..today this is how i am feeling... I don't know what it is but I am in a total funk...I have been in bed all day and I have no desire to do anything else....There are so many things going on right now and I think that I am just very overwhelmed and exhausted....not to mention that my workout regimine has been on hiatis and when I am not in shape i do not handle it well...also not to mention that the person that I love more than anything in this world is no where to be found five to six days out of the week and talking on the phone just isn't my thing.. I know that I should not be complaining I am very blessed and I could definately have it a lot worse. ...I am just really down today...I hope that this job and move and everything else just settles down and goes well.....Well I just really needed to vent .....I hope that everyone else is feeling upity and well...if you are in a funk too im right there with you and this too shall pass....hope you guys have a good Tuesday!

Just getting home!

Well, I just had to post before I got a little shut eye. Vera, Leslie, and me spent the entire night/morning chatting it up at the store. We literally talked until the sun came up and we have to be back at the store in a few hours. I will definately need me some starbucks before returning. I got very little scrapping done because my mojo was not flojoeing at alll....you know what I mean? I think it's from lack of time with my boo this week. You all know he inspires. Well, I spent the nite with some inspiring ladies so that better do the trick. Just wanted to do a quickie post...more to come later this weekend. Hope you have a happy saturday....mine has already begun....

Much praise goes out to the big man today...he is ALWAYS working....and boy do i love him for it.
