Happy Civil Rights day. I don't know how many people actually have the day off and actually sit back and ponder on what the day is truly about. I know I am guilty of this. I am grateful for all the people who sacrificed so much to make equal rights a possibility. Truly, equality is a God given right. We are all children of God and should be treat with respect! I do feel a little guilty when I just love having the day off and don't really think much about why.
Last night was a blast. I went up to SLC and hung with The Bills. Have I mentioned that I am so lucky to have two families? I really am blessed to be loved by two families. I really am well taken care of! We had a veg in front of the TV night and it was fabulous. I enjoyed watching the season premiere of 24 with them. It was entertaining as well because Dad Bills would sing opera-style during the commercials for our listening pleasure. Love it! Thanks for it Utah Dad!
What else have I done this weekend? I have slept in three days in a row. YIPEE! I finished my grading for the term. YIPEE again! Saturday I went shopping and to lunch with my friend, MOO, and her mother and brother. That was fun. I have been addicted to the clearance at Old Navy. It is 50% off the clearance prices. I have a few new shirts. I have to remember that I must now go through my other clothes and get rid of stuff. I also have to realize that I shouldn't buy lots and lots of clothes because I may...wait...I WILL get a little smaller and these clothes may not look good in six months.
Well, I am off to go to a movie with friends. Be sure to check out the movie blog later. I should be writing about it there! Later.

Hell Week Continues...
So, you know....Monday pretty much was a sucky day at work. Making a kid cry isn't always the best professional choice, but you know.
Well, the saga of Alice not using her interpersonal skills continued again on Tuesday. I still was a little frustrated by the situation with the student of Monday drama and wasn't feeling it. Anyway...I was just chatting with my 4th hour kids because sometimes you just can't force them to do anything. I went to talk with a student in the back of the classroom and when I got back to the front of the classroom, one of the boys I was chatting with took over my chair. I was not okay with this and asked him to move. Apparently, he did not hear me and I then snapped my finger and said "Hey, Jessie...move it!" I think the snapping of the finger is what triggered some rage in this boy and he got up and said something under his breath and then called me a bitch. For those of you who may or may not know me, I HATE the word bitch. Luckily, I did not speak my mind(I guess I still have some self control this week) and instead said: "Thanks Jessie, that made me feel so good!"
On a good note, I am down 4.2 pounds from my weigh in last Tuesday. Go me. I am really liking this Weight Watchers stuff. The leaders are awesome and inspiring and the program is awesome because I really can eat "whatever the hell I want,' as I told a co-worker earlier this week when he tried to "save" me from the chocolate chip cookie that was in the teacher lounge.
Let's hope that today is better or at least these horrible experiences with crazy students only comes in three. I think I could take one more before the break happens!
Cheers!

Angst
Today was one hell of a day. Just wanted to let you know.
Here are the things that sucked about today:
1. Made a student cry.
2. Told a co-worker that the cookies he baked: "They don't even look good!"
3. Mispelled many things on the Health test I wrote.
4. Missed Chuck, House, and The Bachelor thanks to my DVR not working.
I am way tired. I am going to bed at nine thirty. Crazy. Hope your day was a little better than mine!

The week in review.
This week flew by. I think tracking all I am eating makes for the days to go faster. Or maybe it is because I am so focused on it that time just slips away.
Work has been great. The kids really are good to me. I will miss my two Health classes in a little over a week. They will be done with Health and move on with their lives. I worry that I will have scary classes but who knows...it usually works out.
What else? I really don't have much. The boys basketball team at our school finally won a game last night. After the game, I went and played with my friend Kerri. She and I worked on some crafty stuff. Before the game I ate some Gandolfo's and I love that stuff. YUM. That is another one of the great things about Weight Watchers is that I do not have to limit my diet...I can eat whatever I want. (I really feel like I am a commercial for them; it is weird) I just have to budget my points and that is a good thing for me. It does take a bit of planning but it is worth it. I am getting excited to actually get weighed in on Tuesday to see what the results will be!
That is all I have for now. Cheers.

For those who were wondering...
I kinda made resolutions this New Year. I have dubbed this year the Year of Decrapifying my life. Basically, this means, I am going to work each day to get a little of the crap out of my life. Here are some examples. My house is a disaster. I am so unorganized. Each day, since I have been back from Wisconsin, I have done some decrapifying of my house. Yesterday, Operation Decrapifying involved cleaning out my cupboards and fridge. I threw out a lot of things that were outdated and gross. (See pics of the pile of crap from my kitchen and the new fridge look!) It felt good. I also did some washing of dishes. I always have a crap load of dishes. Not so much in 2010. I also have this bit of goo all over my body. It is crappy. I joined Weight Watchers to get rid of that crappiness. My first weigh in was today and I am majorly excited about the program. My social life has spots of crappiness. I am going to be better at dating. I am also going to spend less time worrying about relationships in general. I want to be surrounded by positive people, so if you are not positive....you know.
So there you have it: Operation Decrapify has commenced.
If you want to follow my new weight loss blog "Less of Alice" click on the link! I will add it to the sidebar too. It isn't going to be very exciting but it is there.
Better get to bed!
