Thanks Heavens for Movie Mondays

So Mondays are supposed to be Manic right? Mine was for the first five minutes. That was the time before I remembered that I was going to go to a movie right after school today. It was then that I looked up movie times and realized that Country Strong was now in theatres. It is an excellent movie. See it. Also read my review HERE. (I skipped The Tourist for the second week in a row. Does that mean I am not supposed to see that movie?)

Good day overall. The kids were pretty good and the day went fast. No big problems and few funnies. Here is the biggest funny of the day:

Me: "Okay. So what is the term for the muscular contractions that move food through the digestive system?"
LONG PAUSE
Me: "The term starts with a P."
Not so sharp student: "Penis."
Me: "No, Penis is not the term for muscular contractions that move food through the body. Any other guesses?"
LONG PAUSE
Me: "The correct term is peristalsis."

This kid has serious issues. It makes for some funny times that I totally appreciate in my 6th hour Health class!

I must now go sleep after writing on my running blog HERE. Thanks for being cool enough to read this blog!

Weekends go too fast!

Not much to say about the weekend. Saturday consisted of getting that yummy fruit and veggies from Bountiful Baskets and then staying in my PJs and watching football. Both things I loved!

Today I went to church and also went and hung with The Hageys. Derek was more excited then the picture portrays. I love hanging with them too.

Here is to this week being amazingly awesome!

Fabulous Friday!

Well, week one in 2011 has come and gone. Have you conquered your resolutions yet? I have been enjoying mine quite a lot. That whole do a fun thing everyday is soul food. Sometimes I feel like a spoiled rotten brat, but I really like that part of me!

Yesterday, the fun thing was going and hanging out with Shule. She used to work at our school before she had her baby. I love her baby. She is a cute little peanut. Jane, Janette and I had fun holding her and chatting with Shule. We also had some wonderful food from Burgers Supreme and a great desert.

I also wore that fabulous shirt that Janette got me for Christmas. Isn't it hilarious and fun? Makes me happy to wear it!

I cannot believe that the term will end this coming Friday. That means the school year is half way done! Amazing.

Practically Friday.

Man, take a day off of work because of stomach stress, and the week just flies by. I think it also flew by because I was actually doing fun things after work. I think that has been one great new years resolution.

Today, my fun thing was watching Mr. Bean. I used to watch that show every Saturday when I lived in the dorms at Utah State. Those were the days. If you are reading this and you are a college student, Cherish. Every. Moment. College was a luxurious dream state. Life was so easy back then. Anyway. Mr. Bean arrived on DVD in the mail today and I was very excited to watch while I pedaled the exercise bike. Too bad I got so distracted by laughing that I would stop pedaling and actually lost a bit of motivation while I "rested." Not too much of an intense workout today. Oh well.

Here are some good quotes from school today that totally made me happy:

1. One of my students always calls me "Joe." I always call her "Bob." It brings happiness to my soul!

2. Me: "Do any of you have Jim as a teacher?"

A student raises her hand

Me: "Oh you do have Jim as a teacher? Where is he having Parent-Teacher Conferences tonight?"
Student: "Oh, no I don't have Jim. I thought you asked if I had you for a gym teacher."

I thought that was funny because why would I have to ask her if I had her as a student...wouldn't I know? Funny.

So, today was much better than yesterday. I think Alice can get back to her normal self quickly. Maybe she wasn't that into that silly boy anyway!

"Mamma Said There'd Be Days Like This"!!!

Today was hard. I do not like days like today. Ever have a day where it just got worse even though you thought it couldn't get worse? Yeah that was today. It started out with a slip in the parking lot making me slam my knee into my car door. Then I dealt with the girls who made me real mad before break and they made me even more upset. Maybe I will tell you the story one day when it is not almost midnight. Oh and then I got an email from a man in Boston that made me a little disappointed. Basically, my hopes of a potential relationship went from hope to nil. I think it's silly to say "let's be friends" it just never works.

It was ok though guys because I made darn sure I did things that I love today.

First, I ran. Granted it was on the treadmill, which isn't my favorite, but sometimes running helps your heart! Ok. So it always helps your heart but in this way it helped mend a broken one! And I realize that was very cheesey.

Second, I took advantage of an invite up to Layton to play with the nephews and talk with their mother. They are all very good for my soul. And holding a one month old is just magical.

So. Off to bed I go now knowing that tomorrow HAS to be better. I must find my good attitude again!!!
