On a Roll/Run Workout

During Spring Break...I worked out 3 days wow! Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday! I have taken up walking/running a little at least 2.5 miles a day. If I go on the treadmill it is always 2.5. So Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday I met this goal. Then Wednesday and Thursday I also walked/ran some of the neighborhood.

I just went out for a walk/run around the neighborhood and there were so many people out! It gives me a little time to focus on me and think about the day and things before unloading them on Greg. Hopefully it will be a good stress relief and I will also get in good shape for the summer and the beach!

Get to Know Me!

What year did you graduate high school? 2004

What part of your body do you neglect the most? My feet! I have narrow feet and wear medium shoes all the time. I also wear high heels to teach all the time. I swear the two pairs I wear are very comfortable. I have only fallen down the stairs in them once. LOL! I also rarely get pedicures now. I used to get them all the time. I haven't found a place in town I love and I love to go with the girls to catch up and haven't had the time.

I love the beach and am looking forward to spending some time on the beach in Gulf Shores, Alabama and Corpus Christi, TX this summer!

Did you have braces! Yes I did
I had them from 6-8 grade on both top and bottom. I then was not given a retainer that ever fit right so I got them again in 9th grade on the bottom and wore them for a year and then got a premanent retainer on the bottom. I wore Invislign on the top the 2nd time around and it didn't work so well. My teeth are pretty straight though so no complaints!

Spring Break has ended! :-(

Tomorrow my Spring Break will end! :-( I have enjoyed spending time with my family and Greg. I didn't get to take my Praxis test so this will happen some time this summer. This next couple of weeks will be busy and stressful. This week my kids take an IQ test and then next week we have standarized testing! This does not count for anything in a private school but I still want my students to do well. I have been preparing them since the beginning of January and pray they are ready. I finished another book today (Firefly Lane). It was a story about two best friends and they journey together through childhood, jobs, kids, etc. If anyone knows any great books to read I would love any suggestions. I have now read 7 books since the new year started! My goal was a book a month. When I was in college I had a teacher tell me that you should always be reading and learning more but also always know what you will read next. Oops don't know what to read next. Tomorrow I am grabbing coffee with a good friend and am ready to catch up with her! :-)

Spring has Sprung!

I have been enjoying the fall weather over this last week or so. I am ready to get in my yard and plant but I know I need to wait until after Easter. :-) I think tomorrow I will pull some more weeds and get some plants for the pots, those should be ok if it freezes again because I can at least bring them inside.

This week has been Spring Break for me. Friday afternoon I went home to Killeen to spend time with my family and to celebrate my Dad's birthday. Then my mom came back to Shreveport with me to shop until today. I had lots of fun visiting with her and getting a new spring wardrobe.

The rest of my spring break will include...working in my classroom, tanning, pulling weeds, planting flowers and working out! :-)

Good Weekend!

I had a good weekend just relaxing at home! Greg's grandfather came into town so we went to dinner with him Friday night at a resturant in town I love Bistro Byronz. I got the steak frite salad. It is steak with fries on a salad and so yummy!

Yesterday (Saturday), I worked out and spend the afternoon with Greg at his parents house. His dad, grandfather and brother went to the Baylor vs. Texas game. Now I can be two sided on this one. My mom went to UT and I am from Texas, however I went to Baylor. I would have been happy with either team winning but was overjoyed that Baylor beat Texas yet again 92-77.

I am very ready for Spring Break and to see my family! :-)

Happy Spring!

I cannot believe it is already March and I have been teaching almost a year. Only 19 more until I can retire. LOL! :-) Growing up my Dad said teachers always count down to when they can retire and reap the benefits of teaching.

Today March 2nd is my grandmother's birthday and also Dr. Seuss' birthday. I had fun today reading Dr. Seuss books to my students. We sat on the floor and read books and then we played fun games on www.suessville.com. It was fun to do something out of the ordinary that was fun. I thought maybe they would act like they were to old for Dr. Seuss but they loved it.

Greg is out of town until Thursday so I have been enjoying time alone at home. I have been catching up on laundry, cleaning, and reading. I do feel like I haven't seen my hubby though. Greg's grandfather is coming into town this weekend and then next weekend I am going home and then my mom is coming back to Shreveport with me. I also plan to take the PRAXIS during Spring Break. That is the certification test for teachers for Louisiana.
