Day 356

This was an early morning for sure. I was in my car by 6am driving to get my car all fixed up. Thanks to my friend for picking me up for school. You rock! Today at school was pretty normal. Nothing out of the ordinary. Tonight was so great. I went to dinner with a group of people from school to see Cinda... a girl I used to teach with/my unofficial mentor. It was SOOOOO amazing to see her. We all picked up right where we left off. She lives in Indiana now so it was pretty awesome being with her. I am confident in saying that I have made some of the closest/REAL friendships with people at work. It's truly a blessing!

Day 355

Took Lauren home. Took a long, much needed nap. Graded papers and entered them (took about 2 hours--phewww). Went to step with Scott :(. Don't get me wrong, he's great and all... but he's no Josh. For my followers who actually pay attention, this is the same guy that makes up nicknames for his attendees. Last time (a few months ago) he called me "Woodstock" because I was wearing an obnoxious tie dyed shirt. When he is not saying what steps to do, he is calling people out. Today I was wearing an "I <3 LA" shirt. Needless to say, my name today was "LA". For some reason, he was constantly referring to me. "You go LA!" "Did you learn those moves in LA?" Haha... he is an oober huge nut. He calls his Sunday classes "Banana Sundaes". One person each week brings a banana for each person in the class. Pretty cute idea. I only go to his class on Sundays due to my schedule so pretty much I luck out each time. I do have to tell ya this. You know the song " Like a G6"? He likes to think it says "Like a Cheese Stick". Haha... I was cracking up. Very entertaining, but he will not grasp my step heart. My step heart belongs to someone else.... someone in a higher position :( Went to Kroger to grab some essentials. Got some $2.99 gas and filled up my empty tank. Got some delish Panera.... tried the new Thai chicken salad! Emptied my car out because it's getting its first professional interior cleaning! YAYYAYYAY. Made banana pudding for Laura and I! It's bedtime officially. Night~

Apologize for not posting yesterday... check it out below! I was a busy bee!

PS-10 days till 365!!!! Almost a whole year of blogging~eeeek.

Day 354

Saturday's post:

Woke up at 7:30 (yes, on a Saturday). Got the spicy chicken biscuit and orange juice (best ever) from Chick Fil A. Met my cheerleaders and the boys basketball players at Milton to ride the bus to Alpharetta. I was in charge of ALL of them. Crazy, huh? Played 1st game and won. Rode bus back to Milton. Went to Zaxby's to pick up lunch for my family. Went to parent's house. Took a nap. Went for a 45 min walk around our neighborhood. Beautiful day! Drove back to Milton. Covered the freshman basketball game for one of my friends that coaches cheerleading. Stayed for the following game (this is now game 3!) because it was my girls. We won again... amazing. Drove quickly to babysit. Babysat for 3 hours. While babysitting, kept getting calls and texts to come out on the town. Yup, I went. After the longest day ever, I was a trooper and lasted all night. Long, but great day!

Day 353

School. Coached. Taco Mac. Sleep.

Verrrrrrrryyyy long day tomorrow.

Day 352

Today was interesting.

-Student went home for a heart murmur (I cried like a baby to our clinic nurse because it scared me so bad)
-Two students bumped heads while playing tag... not pretty.
-During math recovery test, I am sitting with a small group while the rest of the class is taking it by themselves. I am watching a student solve a problem when all of a sudden I am tapped by a little finger. I look up and a student is jumping up & down and covering his mouth. When all of a sudden... 3...2...1 yup... don't worry! He made it.... but barely! TO THE SINK! ALL OVER THE SINK! I know exactly what he ate for lunch and what color his milk was. I about lost it myself... thank goodness I kept my cool.

I dedicate my post to Ms. Smith in the clinic. She was my saving grace today! Oh yeah, and Terri for being so prompt with my emergency button calls (yes, plural)!


Tonight was fun! The roomies and I went to eat at Coast in Buckhead. It was delish! I got the crabcake sandwich and mac & cheese. Laura was so excited to try my mac & cheese that she dropped it in my water. Naturally, I took a picture of it for my blog :) Just made brownies AKA ate the batter for our HOUSE OF STYLE (what, what!) munchies session tomorrow!

Can't imagine what tomorrow might bring!

Day 351

I don't know why I felt this way, but I was livin' on the edge today. I took risks in more ways than one.

1) I told someone they were "weird" to their face (in a joking way of course--they know I heart them tons!).
2) I confessed to Dr. P that I do have a "cheer bone" in my body where I can go from 0 to 60 quickly, but it's quite rare that it happens.
3) My secret is out about me stepping down from coaching cheerleading due to a meeting tonight. When parents & cheerleaders asked me why, I simply replied, "I need to just be a teacher". That was SOOOO hard for me to do because I care about coaching so much. Those of you that know my hives I get when I'm happy, sad, excited, flustered, mad, anxious, etc.? Imagine that times 500. However, I need to move on so I can further my education eventually and focus more on teaching. As Dr. P says, I need to strive for "perfection".
4) When I went to Publix to get a sub, I got the extra hot chicken tender sub when normally I get the mild. That's a huge risk in itself.

I'm trying to make myself sound bad to the bone, but let's face it. I'm a HUGE softy! Take tonight for instance.... I wept like a huuuuuggggggeeeee baby when I watched those sad, sad, sad stories on American Idol. Ahhh, it was a sob fest with my roommate Laura. I have so much to be thankful for! :)

Day 350

School. Realized I lost phone. Meeting. Cheerleading. Lexus. Home. Found phone (phew). Bed asleep by 8:15.

Night
