Where in the world have I been? In a blink four months has flown by and I can't believe it. I want to say so much has happened in the past four months but really it has been pretty routine. I started my new job at West Middle and I loooooove it! It was a little bumpy at first but I got the...
This is going to be short but I will surely write more later, this has been the fastest two weeks EVER! I am officially a 6th grade teacher at PWMS, contract signed and everything and school starts tomorrow! My classroom is set and I have met some of my students already and I think it is going to be an awesome year. I...
Summer vacation that is. My first summer break is in its last week and I am getting really excited about starting my new position as a 6th grade teacher at Parkway West Middle School. Yes, everything is almost official, I have filled out all the paperwork and I am just waiting for a few more "I"s to be dotted and "T"s crossed before...
It finally came and went, my vacation to St. Pete Beach, Florida. I can't even begin to describe how wonderful it was, to be on the beach with Chris for seven whole days was just what the doctor ordered. I was a little nervous before leaving because this was the first trip I had planned and paid for all on my own, no...
My, my, my, what an eventful past couple of days! Lots of fun and friends that I hadn't seen in awhile. Last weekend we just had a fun night out with some of Chris's friends, we went to one of our favorite little bars called Babe's and sat out on the patio. After closing we went to Johnny Gitto's and then we were...
Last Wednesday was Chris and I's 3 year anniversary and it was such a great day! We always talk about stuff we want to do but then we never do them. I came up with the idea to create a little challenge, each person has to think of an activity that costs no more that $20 to celebrate our anniversary. I immediately thought...
It's only Monday and I can feel that this is going to be a long week, long because I am waiting for Thursday and this weekend. I have an interview this Thursday that I am trying so hard not be pumped up for but I literally could have swung from the ceiling when I got the call setting up the appointment on Saturday....
There has been a good amount of rain in the St. Louis area the past few days and I need some sunshine. The storms are getting increasingly dangerous which just freaks me out because you just never know when it's going to go from bad to worse. The rain makes me want to stay in bed all day and not be productive so...
Memorial Day weekend usually marks the beginning of summer for most and as far as I am concerned it does for me too even though I have one and a half days of school to get through. My classroom is pretty much packed and the grades are done. I am not really sure what the point of making up these snow days are...I...
I sometimes hate that I become so invovled in television shows and movies. I can't help that I am overly emotional over fictional people, events, etc. With that being said I honestly can't believe the Grey's Anatomy season finale tonight...I even knew that shit about George enlisting in the army and couldn't put all the pieces together until he started writing on Meredith's...
Don't feel like writing a whole lot but I felt I needed to post for May...I know I sound like a broken record but time is freaking flying by. 2 more weeks of school then dunzo. I booked our flight today to St. Petersburg, so no backing out now for sure. Is it weird that I feel oddly independent making large purchases? I...
What a nice weekend, the weather was fabulous, over 80 degrees and beautifully sunny. Oh! It just makes me crave summertime. I got quite the taste this week, I essentially had Thursday off...I got to go to the Cardinal's game with kids from school. The game was awesome, Pujols hit two homeruns and Ankiel also hit a homer. But trying to keep watch...
That is about all I want to right now. I have bookoos (sp?) of grading to but I quite simply don't want to do it. Hope everyone had a great Easter, mine sure was filling. I think I ate more yesterday than I have in about in an entire week! The scale certainly showed it, I gained two pounds from last week, ouch....
Ok, I am a nerd and fanatically obsess over John Mayer. For the second year in a row, he has put on a cruise called the Mayercraft Carrier, where he performs along with a slew of a other musical talents. 4 days on a boat with John Mayer...yes please! Anywho, I haven't made up mind about this new track that he played on...
Didn't do much this weekend, I stayed at Chris's house from Friday night to this morning. We really didn't do much. I like to pretend on Fridays that I want to go out and stay out all late but by the time I get off work, drive to Chris', and sit for a minute, I am way too tired to do anything. Plus...
What a great day! Chris and I spent the day just hanging out, enjoying the gorgeous weather around St. Louis. We treated ourselves to some Quizno's and then a walk in Tilles Park. It was so nice out we took TWO walks, our 2nd walk of the day was at a small park in the Clifton Heights neighborhood, lots of nice houses and...
but I am sure glad I don't live there full time anymore because I don't think I could handle, no my liver could not handle Cape Girardeau anymore. The gang all went down on Friday to visit Megan, Dusty, and Durick and celebrate St. Patty's day a little early, and had a fabulous time. Friday night we went to D'ladium and let's just say...
Well I feel like it has been awhile since a post and I finally have some time to write now that it is SPRING BREAK! Woohoo! It does feel nice to have a week off from school and it is crazy to think when we go back we only have about 10 weeks left. The school year is just flying by and my...

I am stuck at school until 9pm tonight chaperoning the school social and I am so freakin' tired I could literally take a nap on my desk. I still have an hour until it starts and then I have to supervise open gym. I asked for an assignment that would involve mostly sitting or doing something busy, like concessions but no, I get...
I love coming home from work and having absolutely nothing to do, it's quite possibly one of my most favorite things because it makes me feel like I have one of those normal jobs that people have where the clock strikes a certain time and they can just get up and leave it for the next day. Things I may consider doing tonight:...
Well this week was probably one of the worst I have had in awhile, I was sick, had a crappy weekend, and oh did I mention I was sick? As my previous post alluded to I had some awful flu/bronchitis deal that is still keeping me down and not feeling the best. I had a sub Tuesday and half a day Thursday and...
This week has not been a fun one so far. I have this awful flu thing and I feel like death. I tried to go to school today and I knew I just should have called off but I felt determined to go but as soon as I got there I thought there was no way I was going to make it through...
OH man, what a LONG week I feel that I have had. And it honestly hasn't been all to stressful, in fact I haven't even done school work when I've gotten home the past two nights (even though I have needed too, oops.) Nothing really eventful going on, just the usual frustrations with school and my ridiculous co-worker who shall remain unnamed. It...
Today we had a snow day, our 6th this year, I don't know how much I am going to like extending our school year, today's pushes us to May 27th. Keeping with my NY's resolution I got out the camera to take a few pics of the snow...which I honestly don't think we have had a snow like this in a while...a good...
Lulu and I...Model poseI had a fun weekend but again it was too fast! Friday night I took a nap right after school, I was so tired. I tried cutting out caffeine this week and it literally just zapped my energy. But I did awake to a yummy steak and baked potato, it was delicious. Chris and I hung out but I fell...
...
Happy Innauguration Day everybody. It was such an exciting day at school today, we actually got to watch Obama's ceremony during lunch hour and it was just so powerful. We have been studying the Constitution in class and it just gave me goosebumps to hear him talk about protecting and upholding our Constitution...I only wish the kids would have felt the same way,...
Chris and I had a nice weekend filled with all of our favoritet things...tv, movies, drinks with friends and sleeping late :) Friday night we rented two movies, Baby Mama and My Best Friend's Girl. Both were hilarious, expecially My Best Friend's Girl. I really had to talk Chris into that one because it had Dane Cook in it but he ended up laughing...
So I shouldn't be bored because I have A LOT to do but I really wanted a new background for my page...so I hope it isn't too early for a Valentine's layout...I think it's cute. Anywho I am just waiting for Christopher to come pick me up for Wednesday night date, usually he just comes over to watch Top Chef but tonight it is...
I stayed home from school today and I am so bored. I didn't sleep well last night due to this awful pain in my shoulder and I have just been feeling like I have been run over by a train. No energy to speak of, napping after school, it just sucks. And is it sad that I secretly didn't want to go because...
love it... ...
The job search that is... today I officially began looking for a new job for next school year. I'm kind of excited although it is a mentally grueling task. I attended a job fair today and I just can not believe the amount of people that go to these things, I mean I swear that adminstrators there saw atleast 600 people today...that is...
I am in the worst mood since I got home from work. I sometimes just can not believe how rude people can be and it is even worse when you have to work in an environment with rude people. There are a couple people at work that I just don't vibe with...a lot of dry humor, sarcasm, etc. Now I can get sassy...
