So here it is, another week has passed and I have neglected to blog. I'm not quite sure how I get so incredibly busy all the time. I was so busy this week, that there were two full days that I did not get on the internet at all. I know some of you web addicts may find this appalling and absurd, but this is my reality. I typically try to check my email everyday, but sometimes I just don't get to it...
Although busy, my week was somewhat uneventful. I gave a Math test this week and I was really concerned about it. I was told by "the powers that be" that this chapter was too advanced for my class and that I should stop teaching new concepts after this, so needless to say I was extremely nervous about this test. I stay afterschool for Math Help every Monday and this week I ended up staying Wednesday and Thursday too, just for those who couldn't make Mondays. I gave my classes everything they needed to succeed. After school on Friday, I decided to stay late and grade the tests. My class did great! I was so happy. All A's and B's with two C's. That's pretty sweet. I'm not sure about my other class yet because not everyone finished taking the test yet. I looked at some of them and they don't seem like they're going to do as well, but still not too bad. Progress reports go out on Friday, so I'll have a really busy week this week getting ready for those.
We mowed our grass yesterday and I biffed my foot. It's a little swollen and bruised...it totally hurts like poop. You see, I fell in a hole (no surprise....I am a spaz) and when I fell, I fell into our fence and hit my foot. I finished mowing the front yard (which took me forever because this was our first mow of the season) and I didn't go inside until after eight o'clock...long day. The really sad thing is that last week, I finally started working out again...much like my brother-in-law, I have gained about thirty pounds since getting hitched...now I'm sad and don't want to go out of my house looking the way I do...so...I started going to the gym again and playing raquetball with Nick. I was waaaay out of shape at the beginning of this school year and this was only added to when I broke my ankle because I couldn't do much without hurting it. I still have to wear my brace because it's pretty weak and now I've hurt my other foot and cannot walk on it without pain...what the poop?!
Someone in my class wrote on my markerboard and no one's fessing up...I told them they don't get recess until we get to the bottom of it...we'll see what happens on Monday
Well, I feel this is a boring blog, but I'm really tired. I don't think that I could be funny due to the sleep deprivation I am enduring at this point in time. It's amazing how tired I am...I am more than happy to go to sleep right now...Nick's watching a bunch of crap about the NFL Draft so I'll have to use my ear plugs and sleep mask to get to sleep tonight I think...Peace, love, and fried chicken to all...

Has it really been so long?

Wow, so here I am, sitting in bed watching I Love Lucy and I'm thinking...whoa, I can't believe I went all week without getting on the computer to create a new blog. I'll admit, I'm not as much of a computer psycho as my hubby, but still, I'm ashamed of myself! I don't necessarily have too much to say. I will give an update of my week (as I'm sure everyone wants an update...)
This week Nick and I decided to start playing raquetball...in a word...hillarious. Our first outing was on Tuesday and we were pretty bad. I ended up running into the wall like four times and I developed a large bruise on my left knee from it. We couldn't really keep a "volley" going (I'm not really sure if they call it a volley in raquetball or not) and I personally got pretty lazy after about twenty to thirty minutes...(perhaps that's because I'm sooooo out of shape). We played again on Thursday too. We set up appointments to reserve the court one week ahead of time. We had to miss a meeting for a children's ministry conference to play on Thursday, but that was actually best because the meetings are so far away from our house and we had been out really late the night before.
On Wednesday we went to a friend's house for a meeting and had a blast. I had some weird, grotesque rash on my left cheek develop on the way to her house. It really itched, but it went away by Thursday. While we were at this "meeting," Nick and I stayed later and ended up playing Wii and talking. All of a sudden, it was midnight! Yikes...we didn't get home until almost one because Nick wanted to get something to eat and we tried Burger King and McDonald's and they were both closed...I was totally carsick because Nick drives like a psycho and I had a massive sinus headache. I really thought I was going to vom...and almost did when we got home, but I was ok. We had such a nice time and I was inspired to download Super Mario Brothers on the virtual console of my Wii...too much fun!
Last night, Nick and I went to the Drive-In. We had a nice time and the weather was beautiful! We took my car and sat in it with the windows down and the sunroof open. I was really glad I had my Nintendo DS and a book to keep me occupied before the movies started (we got there like 45 minutes early) because Nick spent this whole time sleeping. I ended up erasing all of the files on Mario Kart DS and starting over. I bought the game used and the previous owner had unlocked almost everything and I wanted to do it for myself. The lineup at the Drive-In was pretty good this weekend. I actually wanted to see all three movies. The first movie was Penelope. It was really cute. Nick ended up watching it too and even he said that it wasn't all that bad. Then was The Forbidden Kingdom with Jet Li and Jackie Chan. What I saw of this movie I really enjoyed. It was kinda like a mixture of a comedy/kid's movie and a traditional kung-fu type movie. Unfortunately, I only made it through about twenty to thirty minutes of this movie. I hate the fact that everytime I go to the drive-in, I always fall asleep after the first show. I even drank so much Diet Coke it was insane and I still fell asleep! Oh well, the last movie was The Bank Job. Nick said it was really good. I guess I'll have to catch it on DVD. Speaking of DVD....
Nick and I are still on the fifth season of the Sopranos. We had to put two disks on Nick's computer and this totally shafted us because Nick doesn't like to be without his computer and we have no blank DVDs to burn the episodes onto (I know I ended this sentence with a preposition, but who cares!). I don't know how to set it up or anything because if I did, I could totally be watching it now so I could catch up to Nick and then maybe we could finish season five this weekend, but I don't see that happening. Nick said he didn't want to sleep past noon today and it's currently 11:57. I guess that means I need to try and wake him up. He said putting on the NFL Network would be the best thing to do, but I'm really digging I Love Lucy. It's one of the one's when they're in Hollywood...I love these episodes. I think if I could have anyone's talent I'd first choose Kristy Nockels (from Watermark) and then Lucille Ball...what a riot she is! Anywho...I need to wake-up my man...we're taking Rocko (our German Shepherd/Border Collie mix) to the dog park today (hopefully). I can't wait!

At Last....
Posted in on by
Yay! I am finally able to write my first official blog on my new page...at last! So...this has been a majorly busy couple of weeks. My team teacher has been in the Ukraine for what seems like forever and I have had to take on a little extra responsibility...if you know what I mean. It hasn't been that bad though...She's back for now and I got to see her for a little bit today...that was cool...We had report cards go out last week...Standardized testing this week...whew...lots going on lately. Tonight, Nick and I went to a Silent Auction at school to support our school-wide safety initiative. It actually wasn't all that bad. We got to sit with some parents from our church which made the evening go by fast.
So...I have some major plans for my new blog...One thing I'd like to do is keep a running critique of movies I watch or have seen so I can share my opinion of good movies...and not so good ones. Another thing I'd like to do is try to keep a log of the funny things my kids say...I just hope I can remember such things by the time I get home each day...
To sum up...it's been a busy week...I hope to do a better job with blogging...and I'll actually have topics from time to time instead of randomness...
