a-cha-chas and all), gave me flowers, cakes, and presents. It turned out to be a great day after all. And I love the tons of birthday wishes texts from everyone! So its been a little bit since I last posted anything but I have been SUPER busy, oh yeah and sick. Yes sick once again. I think its just allergies so no worries there. But boy parent teacher conferences sure does take a lot of time and energy. I love sitting down and talking with most of my student's parents but then there are some who...I don't even know why they came because they clearly aren't paying attention to anything I'm telling them about helping their child. UCK!
So today I decided that a trip to the salon for a cut and color and then the tanning bed was a good relaxation day for me after all that craziness! Oh and next week is our spring break and the girls and work and I are sick of sitting at home all the time. So....we decided to get out of town for a while! I'll post more next week when we get back from our trip! Love ya all!
Yeah! I am proud to say that today was our 100th day of school! As you can see we had tons of fun! We colored, sorted, counted, and drew lots of 100's today! We even had some pretty nifty glasses, wouldn't ya say?? All in all the kids had tons of fun! And I'm just happy that we only have 60 days left!! YEAH!!!
I know its been a while since I last posted anything but there really hasn't been anything worthy to write about! Just the same old boring things! Also, I am once again sick! I can't even count the number of times I've gotten sick within the last 6 months! I think Miranda sent her little sickness over to her aunt Sheryl some how! No, each time I get sick its more of a head thing. I never get the "throw-up sickness". Just stuffy nose, cough, and then it always, without fail, goes to my ears and I get earaches! So thats where I am right now, stuffy nose and earaches- but don't worry, I am taking TONS of medicine- so yes, my life is great!!!
K so today I heard a song and couldn't believe what I was hearing! Now I wasn't totally in love with this band but Kristi...you sure were! So I thought you might like this little blast from the past!
I saw this on Jessica's page and those of you who have myspace know how much I love filling out survey's!! LOL (Love you all)
10 Years Ago: My parents had just gotten a divorce, we moved to Clovis but I was still commuting over to Fresno to go to school at Central, and I was on the varsity soccer and swim teams.
I Enjoy: reading a good book,s wimming, watching stupid humor movies and at times movies that will make me cry, cooking and baking yummy treats for others, coloring and making things for my classroom, playing cards and games with my family, and playing sports like tennis and soccer, just to name a few!
5 Things on My To Do List: 1. get some grading done since parent teacher conferences are coming up. 2. write my lesson plans for next week 3. finish a few baby blankets 4. cook dinner 5. pay some bills!
Things I would do if I became a billionaire: I don't need much. I would simply pay off my student loans, buy a nice house, buy a house for my sister, take my family on a big vacation overseas, build a school in a third world country and teach there, and just save it for when others need help.
3 Bad Habits I have: I love to snack (especially on white chocolate chips), I have a hard time concentrating on one thing at a time and often leave projects unfinished for a time before I get back to them, and I often change my outfit a few times each morning and then don't hang the clothes back up so my room gets messy fast!
Places I have lived: Fresno and Clovis, California where I spend my childhood days and a few summers between college; Rexburg, Idaho for three years of school; Draper, Utah for just about 4 months while completing a semester before student teaching; Las Vegas, Nevada for students teaching and then 2 1/2 years after. And presently Herriman, Utah for the past 6 months.
Jobs I have Had: Hogi Yogi (for a year and a half when I was 17), Subway (for two years of school), Wild Water Adventures customer service (for a summer while at home), 7-eleven (for a summer while at home), The Limited Too (for a summer while at home), Quality Stairs with my step-dad (for a few summers), BYU-I as a math tutor (for 1 year), Eddie Bauer (the semester I lived in Utah), Linens N' Things (while student teaching in Vegas), Sunrise Acres Elementary (for two and a half years in Vegas), Midas Creek Elementary (currently)--- Yes, I know its been a lot!!!
Things people don't know about me: I recently have loved to watch the show Bones, I get car sick so I usually volunteer to drive when going somewhere, I don't like most cookies (especially chocolate chip cookies) or brownies, I will only eat white cake with white frosting (you can't mix chocolate cake with white frosting or vice versa), I love crocheting blankets and making quilts for others (especially for babies), I can play the piano and have been taking lessons for months now, and within the last 3.5 years I have been a resident of 3 different states!
Alright, so I knew this day would have to come sooner or later- tomorrow I go back to work after my great three week vacation! and yes, I have loved my vacation but I do miss my little cuties. Thanks to Jess, I realized that I haven't posted any pictures of my students. Here are a few pics from our fun holiday activities.
