It's Hump Day !

On Sunday night I was feeling a sense of dread for the week. I wanted it to be over quickly because I have so much happening this week. Well, here it is already Wednesday and I am feeling pretty happy about how the week has gone so far.

I have been busy with work, school and trying to have somewhat of some "me time"!

Right now I should be studying for a quiz I have on Monday night for my grad class. I am making a study guide for it and hope to study during all my breaks the next two days of work! I do not like tests! As a teacher I have given them from time to time, but I have also done partner tests! (mostly in spelling because I was never a good speller and would have loved a partner to take them!) I have two tests this semester and I will be happy when they are both out of the way!

Other than that I am looking forward to Sat. when I can just relax and go meet a friend for coffee!

WOW... September really has flown by!

It's Sunday Night!


Five Things I am Happy About Right Now:

1. JETS are 3 and 0 ... WOO HOO!

2. Chores done and the house looks nice and clean... at least for a day or two! I even put out my Halloween decorations!

3. Yummy Lunch at Olive Garden... and oh the delicious pumpkin cheesecake.

4. I am scheduled to sub two days this week... keep those days coming!

5. Life is good!

TGIF !

I had a strange week. It will be even stranger next week for a lot of reasons I am not going to go into right now. Yes, that sounds cryptic. It isn't really. I just don't want to jinx anything that is coming up!

All I know is I hope I can explain this post with a happy post soon!

On a lighter note. I am glad to have a Friday to relax. I have been busy with work, school, trying to fit my workouts in, and have a life. I forgot how busy I used to be when I was in school. My grad class is tough, but I am learning a lot! I just seem to feel more sleepy by 10:00.

I know I have said this before, but I miss the energy of my twenties.... LOL

HMMMM

I have been very busy already teaching (which is good for me as a substitute b/c Sept. is usually very slow). I worked 4 days last week and I am working three days this week! I have been enjoying the classes because right now they are still learning.

Yesterday, I had a day off so I went window shopping and to Barnes and Nobles (a.k.a. my happy place). I was looking at Halloween books and thinking to myself, "Boy I sure wish I had my own classroom!"

So I ask all you cyber readers.... Please send me job dust. I really want a full time job.

It's Sunday !

Five Things I am Happy About Right Now:

1. Football Sunday (of course!)

2. Sunshine!

3. Going to a football party in about an hour!

4. A day trip yesterday made me realize that only an hour away is a nice "country like" area. Who knew? I have lived here for years and years and need to venture out more!

5. Four days of work last week - Two days already scheduled this week for substitute teaching. Life is good today!

What are you happy about today ?

Back to School

I am sitting in my DH's office procrastinating. I am thinking about those lucky teachers who are in their classrooms right now.... on their first day back!

It makes me a little sad..... I am not on of them and I so want to be one of them! I miss teaching full time. Now I get to play " wait by the phone for a sub call " It is not fun. I do not like it anymore!

I should be doing my homework... but here I sit.. writing in my blog... dreaming aboout the day I will be back in school with my own kids!

It's Sunday Night !

This little smiling bee represents how I am feeling right now!

I have been a busy bee this weekend. I did have time to watch how my flowers have been making the bumble bees happy all weekend long! I love watching how these huge bumble bees are content to fly from cosmo to cosmo. I get lost in their beautiful buzz as I gaze at them.

On that note, here are five things I am happy about right now:

1. A LONG weekend with sunshine everyday!

2. Evening walks with the DH!

3. A "mini vacation" from tutoring.

4. FOOTBALL season starts on Thursday night.

5. Saving 15.00 at the grocery store thanks to coupons!

What are you happy about ?

Sweet Sunny September !

I am so happy that the sunshine has decided to stay around for the Labor Day weekend!


I enjoyed some pool time yesterday while my teacher friends went back to work. Now on the one hand I would have loved to been walking into my own classroom yesterday, but on the other hand it was nice to have some extra time to myself.

I know once grad school is into full swing and I am tutoring, working my part time job and subbing .. I will be VERY, VERY busy!! But for today, I can go have some end of the summer fun in the sun!

Happy September !

September 1, 2009

Wow.. How did you arrive so quickly?

Wasn't it just summer time fun and poolside relaxation?

How quickly you sneak up on me, oh dear September!

I am happy for football, apple cider, beautiful colorful leaves, and pumpkin pie......... but alas dear September.. I do wish you would not find me so quickly!

Hopefully, I still have a few pool days left.. I do not plan on having to go teach for at least two weeks.

Happy September Everyone!
