I finally cried

I wanted to cry all week and I finally did tonight.  There was a pretty cross at church today.  We played bells so that was fun as well.

Skype!

It is amazing.  I had the chance to skype tonight with Ben, Darell, her parents and her mom's parents.  There were also 2 cats and a dog.  It was a lot of fun.  I had dump cake for dinner.  That was not a lot of fun.  I promised I would try harder this week.  I realized yesterday or maybe is was this morning, my goodness this was a long day, that I don't mind being alone but I hate feeling alone.  Ugh to the huge difference.

Decent Day

I made it through the week.  I didn't completely lose it.  These are good things.  Another nice item that happened was that I was finally able to put together a heavy clean and jerk.  I did one rep at 120lbs.  I want to get to 135 someday.  SO tired.  I'm going to sleep NOW.  Yay.

One more Day

Aladdin was good tonight.  The choir always does an awesome job.  This has been one of the longest weeks ever.  I am SO ready for it to be over.

Tired

I am so tired again.  I slept in a little bit.  I tried to have a good day at school and was fairly successful.  I hung out with my friend and her 19 month old.  That was fun.  Finally I went to the gym and moved 5000 pounds as fast as possible so that means I did 77 power clean and jerks at 65 pounds.  I've done that before at 95 pounds and it took 9:45.  This time it took 8:14.  I think that may be why I am tired.  Sleep!

3 hour nap

Sometimes I just want to quit, in general.  Today was one of those days.  A tenth grade boy was seriously asking how to find the area of a triangle.  What???  Where have you been since the 4th grade?  Ahhh... So I got home without going to the gym and took a 3 hour nap.  I've been up for about 45 minutes and I think I am going back to bed.  I need to break the caffeine habit.  I was so dizzy yesterday by about 7pm that I had to go out and get some coffee.  Today I was on edge in the afternoon and I completely lost it for about 30 seconds in 4th period.  At the end of the class I told them I was sorry I had been bitchy and they laughed and clapped.  They were shocked I had used that word.

Really?

It's already Monday?  I am supposed to be rowing at the gym.  I am tired.  I want to crawl back into bed.  I'll row later tonight.  Sadies was fun.  I made cotton candy for 3 hours.  What interesting machines.  Yesterday I joined the Brea United Methodist Church and we played bells in the service.  It was a good day.

Sadie Hawkins

I hate chaperoning dances but this one is at school so it should be alright.  I was SO tired last night that I went to sleep at 8:15ish.  I slept until 12:45 and then slept until 5:45.  It was nice.  The workout at the gym this morning was 15 minutes of pain.  Lol.  I corrected all of the geometry tests and that took about 4 hours.  I feel kinda productive.

Too much Coffee!

I had three cups of coffee yesterday...and they were large cups.  I've had three coffee beverages today.  This is not good.  I was like a zombie today.  At 10am I really wanted a drink.  I need a weekend now.

Ok

It was a normal ok day.  I did have three cups of coffee from 7-11 today though.  On Wednesday you can get any size for $1.  I didn't need to know that.  Ahh...

Strange Dream

I had the weirdest dream where I completely flipped out during my first period geometry class.  I started to yell at all these kids who are driving me up the wall.  Oh my.  I hope that wasn't a foreshadowing of anything to come.

I can make it

to Spring Break!  We have 2 full weeks, one 4 day week and then spring break.  Woohoo.  I need a nice long break.  My patience meter is running on the low side.  I also need to file my taxes.  Ahh...

More fun

I am at 30,000+ feet and I am bored so paying for internet seemed worth it.  Today I went to a Lutheran worship service in Largo Florida and it was nice.  It was very liturgical but there was a warmth to it.  Very different.  I also had the opportunity to walk around a botanical garden called "Sunken Gardens". There are a few photos below.  I think I'm ready for school tomorrow.

Getting Away

Going on a mini vacation has been so much fun!  We've gone kayaking and walking and dining.  A good time has been had by all, I'd say.  Here's some pictures.

How to Not Suck At Life

Kids gave me a ton of advice today on "How to not suck at life".  I started the spiral notebook before school.  It was amazing the things kids came up with.

Also since it was day 2 of the CAHSEE an 11th grade girl curled my hair.  Oh my.  What a day.

What am I doing?

I really have no idea.  I woke up late.  I had coffee and peanut m&m's from 7-11 for breakfast.  It took 50 minutes to get to school when it normally takes 23.  So yeah, that was the day.

They're all gone

It was a whirlwind of a 10 day period for sure.  I'm glad we have more sunlight now in the evenings.  It wasn't too hard to get up this morning.  I need to go shopping for a swimsuit that fits.  I need it in a week!

Better, kinda

I had a better day today but I ate pretty badly.  I am SO tired.  I really need to just go to sleep.

Yesterday was worse than Monday

So does that mean today has to be better?  I sure hope so.  2 sucky days in a row is no fun.  I went to bed before 9.  I woke up today and seriously thought for a brief second that it was Saturday.  Blah.  I ate a lot of Krustez Orange Cranberry muffins yesterday.  They were dinner.  I'm having smoked salmon and broccoli for breakfast.  I'm out of eggs.  Today is a review session after school and then I need to help a former student study at Fullerton College.  We'll see how all that goes.

Today will be better

I was really bummed yesterday that I couldn't hang out with my family.  I ended up with a headache at school.  I didn't finish correcting the geometry tests and grades are due today.  I still have a bit of the headache now.  That's gotta get taken care of soon.  I need water.

A fun day

I wish that I could have taken tomorrow off to spend the morning with my family but I gotta go to school.  We're behind in AP Stats and there is a test on Friday.  We had a great day.  Very busy.  Will post pictures later this week.  Skunky has been hiding all night.  Poor guy.

They're HERE!!!

So excited to see my brother and sister-in-law!  I just had my first small cup of coffee in 2 weeks waiting for them at a McDonalds.  I'm wired.

16 hours!

That is how long it will take for my immediate family to all be in Southern California.  I am very excited that Ben and Darell are coming to visit!  They'll be taking a 4 night cruise for their honeymoon and it starts on Monday in San Pedro or Long Beach, I'm not quite sure.  I wish I could have taken Monday off to hang out with them, but there is a test coming up in AP Stats and we are behind.  I need to do some cleaning!

It's Friday!

I was soooo tired last night that I went to sleep around 8:30.  It was the first time all week I had gotten home before dark.  I even did a load of laundry.  I've eaten well all week so that's been nice.  Ben, Darell, Mom and Dad will be here this weekend so I'm looking forward to that.  I just need to clean up some tonight...and correct 120 geometry tests.
