Fridays Rock!!!

If the world ends today(which it will not!), then my last day was pretty much a good one to end on.

Work was work but something amazing happened in the middle of it. My wee little sophomores took a field trip to read to third graders at a local elementary school. They had written children's books in their English class and their teacher set up this amazing trip! Here are a few pics:












While witnessing this event I got misty eyed and was reminded that moments like these are why I teach. It was so touching! Loved it!!!

After work, I hosted a pizza, cookies and a movie party at my house for my neighbor kids. Gabby is six and her brother, Grant, is eight. We watched Toy Story Three and then played Band Hero. If you have not yet attempted to play Guitar hero or Rock Band with kids, you are missing out. It was a blast!

My friend, Moo, got into town last night and we watched Bones. The season finale was awesome!!! I love that Moo is low key and we can just be chill this weekend. Me and my body need some chill time.

Well, off to enjoy my Saturday. Sleeping in is definitely my favorite!!!!


Aren't my tulips pretty? I love spring!

Sleep is...

...not something Alice gets a lot of these days. Maybe that is why she feels like she isn't getting over the uti she has. I guess this weekend will need to be a little bit of a catch up! Or summer can be too!

It was senior banquet tonight. It still doesn't feel like it is the end. Crazy.




I am going to miss these little weasels!

Mid-week

My 7th hour is hilarious. They know I am bothered by the desks being left up, so when I left during passing time between sixth and seventh, they did this:


Then they thought it would be Funny to then put them like this:



They are silly. I like them!

I had a pretty busy night after working all day. I had a crown placed on the root canal tooth, went shopping(socks, waterbottle, and toothbrush), went to Weight Watchers, bought new running shoes(actually had a prescription written out for a certain pair by my chiropractor), ate Jimmy Johns, bought a pair of shoes for work(all my exercise shoes are wrong for my horrible arches), and watched Chuck. Fabulous end to the season by the way(if you watch Chuck you understand. If you don't, get on it!)



Wish i could have gotten these shoes. How cool is that saying?

I had two options for running shoes. Which one do you think I chose?






I am tired and didn't get myself to bed any earlier tonight. Sigh,
my life is hard!

Cheers!

Is it Friday yet?

It seems that it is not. Tuesday is a good day though.

It was a full moon tonight and the weather has changed to rain again. This may not seem significant but I am pretty sure this is the reason for my second hour being a little crazy today.

Other than that hiccup, the day went well.



There was an amazing rainbow today. So something good came of the silly rain!




Now off to sleep. Only 6 more days of getting up early!

I finished a book...it's a miracle.

I am going to be a crazy reader this summer....I cannot wait.

Here is my review from Fast Food Nation on Goodreads:

Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American MealFast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal by Eric Schlosser




Wonderful history of the fast food industry. It made me hate McDonald's even more than I already had. I was highly impressed with In N Out Burger. I also want to avoid the big chains at all costs. Thank you to small town little burger dives. I love you! :)
