What the what? 2012 is just about to call it quits. Time to look back on my 2012 resolutions and see how I did...good, bad, and ugly style! The Good: I finished my Masters degree! This has helped me tremendously, not only in my classroom but in the salary department as well. Holla! Also, I spent more time at the gym than ever...
Can you believe it? The last Friday of 2012. High fives all around for a pretty decent year. This Friday rocks because... 1. Loving my new Galaxy S3. I can't believe how much phone technology has changed over the past couple of years. It takes great pictures, has synced wonderfully with all of my accounts, and is all around awesome. 2. Got the...
I'm loving that it's Wednesday and I'm sitting on the couch, still in my PJs, and reading my favorite blogs. Oh Christmas break - I love you. As much as I love Christmas, it was exhausting yesterday. Chris and I got up around 8:30am, opened our presents then headed to my parent's for brunch and then to his parent's house for dinner. We...
Hope your day is merry and bright! ...
Merry Christmas Eve everybody! Things are pretty low key around here today, just waiting to head over to my parent's house for hors d'oeuvres and the first round of present opening with my mom's side of the family. I thought I would join the GBU of my weekend, here goes! The Good: Finished my Christmas shopping Friday night in a frenzy, literally a...
It's Christmas vacation! Squeeeee! Linking up with Lauren over at From My Grey Desk to chat about what was awesome this week. 1. Chris and I went ice skating for his birthday on Saturday. I stayed upright! 2. New Sensationail color found at Walgreens for only $5.99 with two coupons the cosmetics counter lady gave me. Score! 3. So even thought I got...
Thought I would try something new today and link up with Amber for It's OK Thursday. It's OK... that I am seriously bummed about the end of Gossip Girl. I have already watched the series finale twice and may have been surfing YouTube for some favorite clips. that I completely checked out for winter break oh, about four days ago. My kids are...

There are just some things in life in which you can never be prepared for, most likely because they are things in which you think would never happen. Friday was one of those days. I really don't know how to process all of my feelings about Sandy Hook. I feel sad, scared, angry, and a bit guilty that I still had a fun...
My thoughts and prayers go out to the many families affected by the awful events in Connecticut today. 1. Some really cold weather this week. Mandatory potato soup making ensued. 2. Received my first Christmas card. 3. Went to an aquarium restaurant. These giant fish literally were right at our table the entire meal. 4. Celebrated the boyfriend's 31st birthday with spending the...
I can't not post on a special numbered day like this one. 12. 12. 12. It won't happen again until 01-01-2101. Pretty special day if you ask me! Unfortunately nothing really special has happened today. Pretty normal actually. I let my 5th hour watch the clock at 12:12 and they all cheered out loud then went back to work like nothing happened. I...
I'm a day late but I have a good reason! Read on to find out... 1/2: Matthew Phillip and William Daniel were born Thursday to my friend Jody and yesterday I got to meet them! I only hope I look half as good as Jody after giving birth to one kid (someday...) 3. The student gifts have started to arrive, earlier than ever...
My 6th hour is particularly squirrelly...seated and quiet are not part of this hour's MO so I've gotten used to the students wandering around the room, sitting on the floor, and the random noises. Or so I thought. As I was giving directions, a boy in the back of the room got up to sharpen a pencil and while walking to the sharpener...

Whew! I'm back from camp in one piece and I'm exhausted. I'm seriously fighting the urge to nap right now so I can sleep tonight so I thought I better countdown the top 5 things about my week and link up with Lauren over at From My Grey Desk. Here goes! 1. As much as whine about camp, it really is gorgeous. 2....
I'm currently sitting in a cabin in the middle of the woods in Potosi, Missouri right now with 110 sixth graders and have been since Monday. And I'll be here til Friday. So I haven't been able to keep up with my daily posts but while here I've thought about all the things I'm thankful for: 1. 6th grade camp is only once...
I don't know why I call him "daddy weasel", he certainly doesn't have any qualities of a weasel, but that has always been the nickname that stuck over the years. I'm thankful that I have had such a strong man in my life growing up. My dad showed me what it is to work hard to get things that I want. He taught...
I spent Friday preparing the house for holiday decorations. Putting up the Christmas tree in our rather small house requires furniture to be moved and I always like to dust real well before putting everything out. It was such a happy day, just bouncing around the house with the Christmas music playing. While I'm not Buddy the Elf, I am thankful that the...
It's Friday and I'm ready to countdown all the things that rocked about this week. 1. Two day work week. NICE! 2. Enjoying a foggy, Wednesday morning to kick off my vacation. It was REAL hard to get off the couch all morning. 3. I've successfully posted almost every single day this month...that's a first! 4. Putting up the Christmas tree today, super...

I spent the whole day by myself, all alone at my house. This isn't a normal occurrence but the boyfriend had to work from 6am - 4pm, then went straight to the gym, so he didn't get home til about 6ish. Leaving me all by my lonesome for the entire day. I am thankful that I am the type of person who is...
