Why can't vegetables taste good to me? Why was I not blessed with the palate of a Top Chef so I could enjoy what the produce aisle has to offer me? Blegh. This week I decided it was time to get back on track to being a healthier person, a blog that I follow, Bits & Pieces called for a challenge to 'move...

 7 and 1/2 inches of snow fell in St. Charles last night and this morning leading to our third snow day. I am all for a good snow day but now were headed into changing up our school schedule if anymore come our way.

I will try to make this a non-yuck inducing post but I just have to gripe about my ridiculous body. I have psoriasis which essentially is really, really, really, dry skin, like no amount of lotion will ever cure this sh*t dry. I have it on my elbows, legs, hands, back, and scalp. The spots where I am affected are called plaques, which...

Everything aches, my fingers are the size of sausages, and my toes do not bend anymore. I thought I could tough it out but I threw in the towel last night and called...

It is so hard to be productive when there is a possible snow day looming. The forecast is calling for 3-6" in the metro area. I am prepared to go to school tomorrow, my lesson is planned, my outfit picked out, and my bag all packed but I did not come home and do a smidgen of the work I planned. Instead I...

Thank goodness it's the weekend! I have to say as a teacher I feel pretty spoiled sometimes with my scheduled breaks and days off, it is definitely is a perk but after going back to school on Wednesday I feel like I didn't even have any time off. All the stress came right back, there is something going on with me lately that...

1/1/11. I love when the date is special. My new year so far has been pretty uneventful. Chris and I went to our friends' house last night for a NYE celebration and it was quite the party despite me still being (way) under the weather. I just haven't been able to feel any better, although today is the first day my head doesn't...
