Catal

Well I overate today before I even got to dinner.  Not the smartest of plans to eat the mini-cupcakes at the 2 hour long faculty meeting.  Now I definitely need to row tomorrow.  And I may be giving a girl student a ride to school until the year is over.  Long story.  We'll see how it goes tomorrow.

Brea and more Brea

I drove a lot today but it turned out ok.  I went to church and corrected geometry quizzes in Brea.  Then I went home for awhile to do a load of laundry and finish fixing up 4 lunches for this week.  I hope the chicken and veggie medley goes well together...for 4 days!  I really liked last week's butternut squash with spaghetti sauce and andouille sausage.  I am loving my coffee maker!  Decaf all the way but it's helping me to relax and get to work without dozing off...never a good thing.  I was talking with my parents on the phone and Dad said he wanted to see the Fantastiks in NY so I got us tickets.  I'm excited about that trip.  It's coming soon!

A good day

I have had a good day.  I went grocery shopping.  I went to the gym.  I helped a former student with math.  I picked up late lunch and ate with friends.  I walked around Aahs and Toys R Us in Buena Park.  I did 20 minutes of random cardio at the gym.  I used a stairclimber for the first time!  It was interesting.  After 5 minutes I was done.  I'm doing laundry and I really really really want to go to sleep!

4 years

My mom's mom died four years yesterday and it was a blah day.  At school things were blah.  Then a former student that I help sometimes made me mad, so yeah, by 8:30, I was done.  I was in bed before 9.  I slept in.  I did not go do any morning cardio crap at the gym so I guess I'm going later today.  I'm working on my 2nd million meters and right now I'm around 66,000 in.  Yay for that.

For the first time in months...

I lost weight this week!  Yay for actually trying.  Thank goodness the work paid off.  Now I don't mind trying for one more week.  I am SO tired.  I went to California Adventure with a friend and it was not what we expected but it was fun.  I am SO SO SO happy tomorrow is Friday.

PR!

I did three push jerks tonight at 120.  I haven't been able to do that before and I didn't realize it was a PR until I got home and looked in my record keeping book.  Anyways, after 1st period today I texted a friend and told her that I try so hard to like all people but that just isn't the case sometimes.  Oh well.  Only 37 days to go!

Ready for bed

I had to make it a low key Monday in geometry or I wasn't going to make it through the day.  We spent time practicing what we had learned Friday because SO many kids didn't get it.  So tomorrow will be the last day of new material in geometry.  Thank goodness.  Then later when we review the material will just seem new.

A kid told me a sad story between 5th and 6th period about his mom, technically his stepmom.  Wow, I got my behind to the gym and didn't complain after hearing his story.  I rowed 4000m tonight after the regular workout.  Good times.  So yeah, I need to get up tomorrow at 4:30 and go do something, anything, cardio related at 24 hour.  I can do it!

4:30am

It just isn't happening.  My alarm goes off and I think, "Nah".  I'll go tonight.   Blah.  I went to bed early enough to get up at 4:30.  I was tired and in bed by 9 last night.  Hopefully this is a good week!

Hot

On warmer days I get tired easily.  I am ready for sleep and it's only 8:25 or so.  I even took a 45 minute nap this afternoon.  I didn't jog this morning but I did row 5k at the gym after going to the other gym.  I dunno what I'm doing though because I also ate a candy bar and some wafer cookies.  I gotta figure this stuff out.

Saturday

I am so glad it's the weekend.  I swam yesterday morning and that was nice.  I think I'm going to go jog some now.  I need to stop gaining weight.  It's so hard to make the right decision sometimes.  Oh well.  Last night I went to the dance concert at school.  It was 2.5 hours!  Whoa.  And some of the dances were repeats from the first concert of the year.  That part I really didn't understand.  Alright, I guess I'm going to go jog.  Ahh...

Hump Day

I did not want to be at school today but we reviewed in Geometry and we are SO close to finishing the book in AP Stats.  I slept in this morning so tonight at the gym I rowed 10,000m.  I am now tired and I want to go to sleep.  Two more days!!!

The Fruit Snacks Are Gone

I have realized that on a daily basis, I really do not like to cook.  I don't mind steaming some broccoli and frying up some eggs in the morning.  But cooking something for dinner is out.  Cooking something for lunch on a daily basis is out.  I need to go back to cooking on Sunday for 3 days and then maybe cooking on Wednesday night for Thursday and Friday.  I need to embrace these facts and just do what it takes to be healthy.  Do not buy any more fruit snacks is step #1.

Fruit Snacks

I ate A LOT of fruit snacks yesterday after school while I was still at school trying to do work for the week.  Not my best decision.  Then I didn't swim or anything yesterday morning so I jogged 4 miles after doing the sucky row/burpee workout at the gym.  I went to bed at 8:45 so I could get up SUPER early to finish 3rd quarter grades.  I need a better plan next year.  This is crazy.

44 days

I need to get up and drive to Brea 44 more days until summer arrives.  I can do that.  This has been such a strange year.  I hope I remember kids' names today.

25 year old "kids"

I had lunch today with 2 former students.  I had them my 2nd and 3rd years of teaching.  They are doing so well.  It was cool to hang out, have some asian food, and drink tea.  We talked for 4.5 hours!  Time flew by.  It was crazy.  We are going to hang out more often.  They both moved out of south central so I think it's kinda funny that I now live closest to Locke High School than either one of them do.  They both like to run half marathons so I may end up doing another half after all.

Disney!!!

I had a ton of fun today taking all kinds of pictures of flowers mostly around the Disney "Resort".  I went swimming again this morning so that's 5 days in a row.  I'm TIRED.  :)

Taxes

What a busy day.  I swam for about 30 minutes.  I did 20 laps back and forth.  Maybe that is why I am SO tired right now.  I did my taxes online, did 2 loads of laundry, did the dishes, helped a former student with math, went to the gym, watched a friend play lacrosse and had some dinner.  It was a good productive day.  Tomorrow is going to be Disneyland day!

Beach!

It was a lot of fun today to go to the beach with a toddler for the first time.  I loved how she was so unsure of the sand.  She was very cautious and she did get her feet wet in the water but not without having a death grip on her mom's finger.  It was a very relaxing and fun day.

Kids

I went to see my college roommate, her husband and their 2 kids.  We had indian food for lunch and then I played with Callie and the kids for awhile.  It was fun.  Traffic back into LA was not but that's ok.  It's always worth it to drive out to see them.

I swam again yesterday and this morning.  Yesterday I swam for about 21 minutes and this morning I went for 25.  The first 10 minutes or so always kind of sucks but then I get into a groove and feel like I could swim all day.  Well, not really, but kinda.

I still need to do my taxes but today is beach "day"!

Wow

It was a pretty productive day actually.  I corrected all of the AP Stats tests and that took about 5 hours. I also took a 3 hour nap.  I swam for the first time in months.  I went to the gym.  It was an ok day.

Good Visit

I had a nice time with my parents.  I came back tonight so I could check on Skunky and my car was already full of stuff.  I wouldn't have made it another day.

I didn't know mom had this orchid in the backyard but she pointed it out as we went on a "tour of the yard".  The colors are better in person.

Spring Break

I made it!!!  I am so happy.  The stats kids took a test today and someone said it was the most difficult test ever and that one question almost made them cry.  Wow.  I didn't know what to say.  I'm not going to correct that thing for awhile.  Maybe Monday.  Yay for the weekend and a nice time to relax.  I need it.

One more day!

I managed to make it through today without any caffeine.  I am now very very tired.  I want tomorrow to be over.  I need a break.

Caffeine Withdrawl

Yup, so I'm trying again to be caffeine free.  Last night the mild headache set in and it is worse this morning.  I guess I could take some medicine.  Only 4 more days.  I can do this!
