Another year down!

Well it is August and it is my last Friday of Summer Vacation. It's back to the classroom next week!

I'll be teaching in k4 again this year, thank goodness. There were a lot of job cuts in our district due to state budget cuts.

I'm looking forward to a great year. :-)

School is soon here!

Well, tomorrow is my last Friday before the start of school.

Am I ready? I hope :-)

Will I like teaching a new grade level? I hope :-)

Will I go crazy by June? Probably :-)

I am turning over a new leaf. I'm going to look for the good and work on focusing on myself (health wise). I did this in the past, and it is the only way to get through the hard times. I need to be there for my kids and that means taking care of myself.

Holy Crap!

It has been over a year since I posted anything on my blog. :-(

Since the last time I blogged a lot has happened and we have been in our house a year! WOW!!!! I also have gained like 20 pounds :-(

I so am on the search of motivation to get back on my diet and watch what I eat and start exercising. I think a lot of it has to do with my job. I found out last week that my position has been eliminated and after the awful day I had today, I think God did this to help me. I would love to get out of my district, but have had no luck in getting interviews. Please work out for me - let another door open.

How I feel!

BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH

and I don't know why. I just don't feel my good old self for some odd reason. I don't feel like doing anything and I just want to be alone and not around people - they have been bothering me so bad. I almost sound as if I'm depressed - I'm not, just BLAH! Do they have meds for BLAH?

Let's try this again

Alright - I'm trying this being motivated thing again. It's so hard!

Here is the food that went into my tummy today (23 points allowed)

• 3 points oatmeal
• 2 points coffee (I have one more day of the wonderful stuff - then it's bye-bye until Easter)
• 4 points chicken burger
• 0 points lettuce
• 2 points dressing
• 1 point banana
• 1 point popcorn
• 4 points turkey meatballs
• 0 points green beans
• 1 point bread
• 2 points fruit salad
• 3 points pretzels

Well I had no energy to work out today. I thought since I'm trying to get back on track here I can take it easy for a bit. Tomorrow I hope I have the same will power. There was even yummy candy in the staff lunch room today, but I didn't touch it. I looked at it longingly and almost gave in. I placed the lid on the container about 4 times. Ahhhhh..... Why does this have to be so hard?

Happy Birthday Delton!

We are less than 2 hours away to having a 4 year old in our house.  He wanted a space theme this year.

Here is his cake.

A dose of Motivation?

Does anyone have a dose of motivation they are willing to sell? I was going so strong and I just want to give up now. I know - "you are doing well, blah, blah, blah". But, I lost my spark and need to find it. It seems like this every winter.

I guess a lot of it is I'm frustrated beyond belief. If you don't want to hear about women problems stop right there and close the window.

I watch what I eat and exercise and I just don't lose a thing. I'm thinking it might be an issue caused by my birth control (IUD). My doctor asked how I liked the form of birth control I was using and I said that I loved it. She said that she was thinking of doing it, but didn't want to because of the side effect of not being able to lose weight or you gain weight. Well that might be the deal then for me. Since I got it last April, I have been stuck and stuck some more. Should I stop the use of it? But it's so easy and I don't even need to think about it. The thing is, I'm not sure we are done having kids, so I don't want to take extreme actions.

Any thoughts?
